Maqui Berry

Maqui Berry/Chilean wineberry
Aristotelia chilensis

This superfood is a tree species in the Elaeocarpaceae family(flowering plants.)
A native to South America, primarily Chile and parts of Argentina.
These small fruits are found in the dense rainforest, harvested from the wild, very few are cultivated in gardens.

The small purple-black berries, leaves and stems were harvested by the native Mapuche Indians of Chile for its medicinal qualities.

With its high amount of antioxidants, polyphenols and ORAC count(Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) this exotic fruit is labelled a "superfood".


Let us discuss two of the benefits of using Maqui Berry.

1. Antioxidants

Some may suggest the Maqui Berry is the highest antioxidant fruit in the world.

WHY???

One word comes to mind, Anthocyanins!

Anthocyanins are a type of flavonoid, a class of compounds with antioxidant effects that fights free radicals(unstable molecules that can cause cell damage, inflammation and other diseases). 

It gives the fruit its beautiful colour!

2. Anti-inflammatory

Maqui Berry produces a concentrated supplement called Delphinol, which clinical studies have shown it reduces inflammation in blood vessels and lungs.

Maqui Berry may also have anti-aging effects and promote gut and eye health, reducing "bad" LDL cholesterol levels and blood sugar.

Fresh Maqui Berries would be difficult for most to get, however Maqui Berry Powder is easily accessible and a great addition to drinks and desserts.
