Organic Maqui Berry Powder (Freeze dried)
Maqui is a deep purple berry harvested in the pristine conditions of Patagonia, Southern Chile. This berry is celebrated for its high content of vitamins, dietary fibre, protein, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory compounds. The Mapuche people of Chile have been consuming maqui berries for centuries.
The rich, purple pigment of this nutritional fruit is similar to acai, blueberry, aronia and blackberries, which indicates the presence of phytonutrients in their skins, which are well known to help to calm the nervous system. This purple berry powder is very high in antioxidants.
Ingredients: 100% Maqui berries

Maqui berry powder (pronounced ‘mockee’ berry) has a deep fruity berry flavour similar to blackberries. Our maqui berries are hand-picked from the maqui shrub, only the finest berries are selected and preserved through a natural process by rapid freezing and drying in a high pressure vacuum.
Maqui berries grow in upland conditions, where the plant absorbs an astonishing array of nutrition from the soil within which it thrives. This helps to make maqui one of the most antioxidant-rich fruits available.
