The maqui berry (Aristotelia chilensis), also called queldón, grows in the South American Andes on a shrub that grows up to 5 metres tall. The berries are similar in shape and size to acaí berries, and are characterised by their sweet and sour flavour and their high content of beneficial plant substances. Traditionally, maqui berries are used by the indigenous population of Chile for their strengthening properties.

How are we different?
Our organic maqui powder is made from 100% whole, fully ripe maqui berries from certified organic cultivation in Chile. The ripe berries are harvested by hand on small family farms and processed on-site for optimal preservation of their valuable nutrients and flavours. They are gently processed without the use of heat, which allows them to retain their full raw quality and authentic fruity taste.
The maqui berries grow in the South American Andes (Chile) in an agroforestry system, which combines arable farming with forestry. The annual crops are grown alongside perennial trees, shrubs and bushes. This method of cultivation is more ecologically viable than monoculture plantations because it preserves the natural diversity of the ecosystem.
The deep red colour and the fruity aroma of our organic maqui powder indicate quality and a high content of anthocyanins. Our maqui powder is characterised by its intense flavour, which does not have any of the sandy, bitter notes commonly present in unripe maqui.
We use environmentally friendly packaging made from 100% biodegradable and compostable starch, cellulose and paper.

Maqui
Cultivation and Processing
Our organic maqui powder is made from hand-picked, whole and fully ripe maqui berries from certified organic cultivation in Chile, which combines arable farming with forestry. The annual crops are grown alongside perennial trees, shrubs and bushes. This method of cultivation is more ecologically viable than monoculture plantations because it preserves the natural diversity of the ecosystem, which in turn leads to nutrient-rich soils. The berries are cultivated without the use of pesticides or artificial fertilisers.
The freshly harvested berries are processed directly on-site. Long transportation routes and storage times are avoided in order to preserve the content of nutrients found within the berries. Freeze-drying, a gentle drying process that does not involve the use of heat, is the best known method for fully preserving the nutrients found in fresh fruits. Following this process, the maqui berries are gently ground, resulting in a high-quality, nutrient-rich powder with a typically sweet and sour taste.

Uses
Preparation
Stir into drinks, smoothies, cereal or yoghurt. Ideally suited for raw meals and snacks.
To dissolve the powder into a cold liquid such as juice or water, first mix the powder well into liquid to form a paste. Only then should the rest of the liquid be added. Otherwise, the powder will float on top when stirred into the full amount of liquid and will be difficult to incorporate. Alternatively, the powder can also be blended in a smoothie blender or with a whisk, blender or shaker.
