In 1669, the clergyman João Felipe Bettenford embarked on an expedition through the upper Amazon region and observed the Maués Indians. There, he made an astonishing discovery - Guaraná. The Indians crushed the fruit in a gourd and drank it. The fruit provided them with so much strength that they could go on a day-long hunt without feeling hungry. Moreover, Guaraná was also used to cure fevers, cramps, and headaches.
Today, Guaraná Antarctica is a popular beverage from Brazil, carrying the unique energy and flavor of the Amazon. Originally created by Pedro Baptista de Andrade in 1921 for Companhia Antarctica Paulista, it has become a classic that can be paired with anything! Whether with popcorn, chicken snacks, hamburgers, or Acarajé - Guaraná Antarctica always complements perfectly! Let yourself be enchanted by its refreshing taste and savor the best of the Amazon in a revitalizing sip!
