Açaí for children

Does anyone know whether it's okay for Sophie, my 17 month old, to eat açaí? I'm assuming here in Brasil it is okay as it's a fruit and eaten naturally rather than as a diet supplement....

It's so cheap here (one of the few things in Sao Paulo that is cheaper!) and I want to take advantage of it being so accessible. I eat it almost every day - with my granola, or in a juice mixed with banana or strawberry and always give Sophie a taste of it but haven't given her her own serving of it yet.

    I think that Sophie would probably be fine eating a bit of it with breakfast.
