HARVEST OF THE MAQUI BERRY:
Sustainability of the Harvest

What are “superfruits”?
This refers to certain fruit varieties that, along with tasting good, stand out from the rest of the fruits due to their high content of bioactive substances: antioxidants.
An antioxidant is a molecule that is capable of delaying or preventing the oxidation of other molecules. Oxidation reactions can produce free radicals which trigger chain reactions that damage cells. Oxidative stress has been associated with the pathogenesis of many human diseases.
This is why pharmacology intensively studies the use of antioxidants, particularly as a treatment for strokes and neurodegenerative diseases. Some of the more prominent superfruits are: the acai berry, goji berry, raspberry, pomegranate, and of course, the maqui berry.
