The consumption of the acai berry is a traditional habit in the state of Pará and today is recognized worldwide for its nutritional and functional benefits to human health. However, the açaí "past" is a peculiar form of use enjoyed by small groups of consumers in the region and which had not yet been searched. Therefore, the aim of this pioneering study was to verify the biocultural aspects that involve the consumption of acai "past" entering it for the first time in the scientific community. To this end, we developed a model of transdisciplinary research because of the multiple perspectives that involve food. Resources structuralist anthropological discipline were used as well as the discourses in the social context of the fancier açaí "past". As well as methods of food science were used to legitimize the drink before the postulates of nutrition. The research identified this as a way to use one of rhizomatic paths of acai, which has indentitary role in Para society. Furthermore, it allowed categorize acai "past" while fermented product and source of bioactive compounds. Therefore, the objective was successfully achieved since signed up drinking for the first time in the academic literature, including considering the importance of its taxonomic classification. However, it is considered that this is a prospective study provides basic information for further investigations.
