The Maqui berry is a black brilliant berry of about 4-6mm of diameter. It is edible and used widely by the locals (the Mapuche Indians). This berry is found in Patagonia in South America and has become known as the ''Patagonia Super Fruit,'' because of its rich color and taste. This bears similar properties to Acai or Mangosteen. The flavor is very nice and goes great in smoothies, much preferred over Acai or hydro-extracted Mangosteen.

Rich in anthocyanins and other antioxidants, they help combat oxidative stress and inflammation, promoting heart health by improving cholesterol levels and blood pressure. Maqui berries also support blood sugar regulation, making them beneficial for managing diabetes. Their high antioxidant content boosts immune function and protects against age-related eye diseases.

It is considered one of the three sacred plants of the Mapuche people, together with the winters bark or canelo (Drimys winteri), and the Chilean laurel (Laurelia sempervirens). The maqui shrub means benevolence and peaceful intention, and it is therefore used to ornament the rehue, the ceremonial altar, during the Mapuche festivities.
