5L Açaí Tub vs Pint Bundles: Which Should You Buy?
Choose your açaí around the way you actually eat it. Compare the volume, price and freezer footprint of a 5L tub and individual pints before your next order.
Start with your freezer and serving routine
A 5L PURE açaí tub is worth considering when you make bowls regularly, share açaí with others and have room for one larger container. PURE pint bundles offer individual 500ml containers that can be arranged around the other food in your freezer.
Choose the 5L tub if…
- You make several bowls each week.
- You usually serve the same PURE recipe.
- You have a clear freezer space for the tub.
- You want a lower product cost per 100ml at the prices shown below.
Choose pints if…
- You prefer opening one smaller container at a time.
- Your freezer space is divided into smaller gaps.
- You want to share individual containers.
- A smaller initial order fits your budget and routine.
There is no need to buy the largest format just because you enjoy açaí. Choose an amount you expect to use, and check the label’s storage and best-before information.
Compare prices using the same volume
One 5L tub contains the same declared volume as ten 500ml pints. Since pint bundles come in different quantities, the total checkout price alone does not show which format has the lower product cost for an equal volume.
| Pack | Total volume | Product price | Cost per 100ml |
|---|---|---|---|
| One 5L tub | 5,000ml | $47.95 SGD | $0.96 SGD |
| 3 × 500ml pints | 1,500ml | $31.90 SGD | $2.13 SGD |
| 6 × 500ml pints | 3,000ml | $59.90 SGD | $2.00 SGD |
| 12 × 500ml pints | 6,000ml | $115.90 SGD | $1.93 SGD |
SGD product prices, before delivery, discount codes or toppings. Pint volumes follow the current 500ml PURE packaging. Cost per 100ml is rounded to two decimal places; volume is not the same as weight.
Use the cost per 100ml column for the volume comparison. A twelve-pint bundle contains 6L in total, so it includes more açaí than a 5L tub. A three-pint bundle has a lower initial checkout amount but a different unit cost.
The 5L product lists 4kg net sorbet. If you prefer to portion bowls by grams, use the 5L serving and cost calculator. Do not assume that 100ml of sorbet weighs 100g.
Think about the space you use every day
The 5L tub’s listed dimensions are approximately 22cm wide × 14.5cm deep × 19cm high. Measure your freezer space and leave enough clearance to remove the tub and open the lid. A larger container can be convenient when several people are scooping from the same supply.
Pints let you open one container while leaving the others sealed. Several small containers may fit around existing frozen food more easily, although a larger bundle still needs enough total freezer space. Think about the size of the order, not just the size of one pint.
For either format, take out only what you need for preparation and follow the product’s frozen storage instructions. Opening smaller containers can suit your routine, but it does not replace checking the product label.
Choose the recipe as well as the container
This price table compares PURE sorbet with PURE sorbet. Changing from pints to a 5L tub is a format decision; changing from PURE to ZERO Sugar Added or pulp is a recipe and preparation decision.
- PURE sorbet: ready to scoop, with added sugar in its ingredient list.
- ZERO Sugar Added sorbet: a separate ready-to-scoop recipe containing maltitol and sucralose. “No sugar added” does not mean unsweetened.
- Pure & Unsweetened pulp: an unsweetened frozen ingredient for blending with your chosen fruit and liquid.
If the recipe matters more to you than the container size, start with the ingredient and nutrition panels. The full Smoof açaí range lets you compare the available products and pack options.
A quick check before you order
- Estimate your servings. Think about how much açaí you normally put in each bowl and how many bowls you make each week.
- Measure your space. Make room for the complete order, including the other frozen food you keep.
- Compare the final total. Review the selected bundle, any active offer and delivery charges at checkout.
- Plan to receive it. Arrange for someone to put the order away promptly and follow the storage instructions on the label.
For your first order, a smaller bundle can help you learn the recipe and serving size you enjoy. Once your routine is clear, a 5L tub may be a better match for regular bowl making. Read the delivery information before completing your order.
Common questions about tubs and pints
How many PURE pints equal one 5L tub?
Ten current 500ml PURE pints equal 5L by declared volume. The bundles shown here contain three, six or twelve pints; the twelve-pint option has 6L in total.
Are pints single-serving containers?
A pint is a container size. The number of bowls it gives you depends on the amount you use in each bowl. Check its label for the net quantity and weigh your own preferred portion if you want a consistent yield.
Is the 5L tub automatically the better purchase?
Consider the unit price together with your freezer space, serving frequency and chosen recipe. A larger tub can be good value for regular use, while smaller containers can fit a different household routine.
Do the prices include free delivery?
The table shows product prices only. Delivery eligibility depends on the current terms and your complete order. Confirm the final amount at checkout.
