About Product
Organic freeze-dried Maqui Berry has a long history of use in traditional Chilean medicine. From the Patagonia region of Chile, maqui berries have been used for centuries to promote overall health and well-being.
Maqui berries are high in anthocyanins. Freeze-drying is used to preserve food by removing moisture without damaging the nutrients.
This process helps keep the maqui berry’s natural properties intact, and it can be used to create a powder containing all the quality nourishment in the fresh berry.
Organic freeze-dried maqui berry powder is a convenient way to add the nurturing qualities of maqui berries to your diet.
