An evergreen South American shrub that produces small dark purple berries.
Maqui grows wild in the temperate forests of Chile and Argentina, where its clusters of small berries ripen to a deep purple color. The berries have long been used locally to make a fermented drink and a natural dye, and more recently they have become popular worldwide as a nutrient-rich health food. Botanists classify the plant as Aristotelia chilensis within the family Elaeocarpaceae.
