Take care of what you eat, where it comes from, what path it traveled, only then will you take care of yourself and take care of where you live, where we all live. 

​

Our fruits come from clean, chemical-free fields, on an island free from the agro industries that pollute our food, where wind and birds are still free.

​

We take care of the entire production chain, from when the fruit is on the tree until it reaches the final consumer in a finished product accessible to all.

​

This way, we ensure not only product quality from start to finish, but also that the farmer and everyone involved in the way they receive fair prices for their work.

MAQUI

Chilean Superfruit

Benefits

The  Chilean soil is full of volcanic nutrients, and its flora constitutes a "botanical island", isolated from the rest of the world.

To the North, by the driest desert in the world.

To the East, the  Andes Mountains.

To the West, the largest ocean in the world.

To the South, the icy Patagonia.

​

Isla Natura's philosophy is to create Maqui products in the rural areas where it grows- thus caring for its harvest and ensuring a positive impact on local economy by creating jobs. 

Maqui grows in abundance in southern Chile, in an area spanning the fifth to the tenth region.

 

It grows spread over many areas, but its tastiest berries are those that benefit from lots of sun and water.  They are very coveted by birds, who spread the seeds over the fields, especially near roads where they perch on fenceposts. 

​

Since Maqui is a plant that reproduces rapidly and easily, it often grows on the side of roads. It is of the utmost importance that you take care when choosing your source of Maqui, as its ease of access in polluted areas can tempt unscrupulous "merchants" who are looking for an easy source of the berry.

​

Make sure  your Maqui is ORGANIC!

Make sure your Maqui is FREEZE-DRIED!
