The Maqui Berry Versus Other Berries
Posted on November 28, 2009 by Jane
You may have been wondering about the difference between the maqui berry and any other berry. Can it be eaten on its’ own, or is it only used for supplements? What does it actually do, and does it do it any better than other, such as the acai berry? What is an antioxidant, and why should I be concerned about consuming enough of them?
These are all valid questions, and the answers are simple. The maqui berry is very similar to other berries in many ways, such as in taste, and in its’ general uses. The difference is that the potency is much higher, and it has a larger antioxidant value of 820. Out of all other berries, acai comes in closest in its’ value, and it is only 120 to 320 in it’s own potency.

One way that maqui is similar to other berries, such as strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries is in its’ price and availability. While it is not grown all over the world, it has been found in a number of countries, usually in any that has a fairly humid climate, similar to that found in the Amazon. Unlike acai, it is therefore easier to buy and use, and can be harvested and sold for lower prices. If you have ever tried to buy acai, you will know that this is a great benefit.
You can use maqui in its’ most common form, which is in a supplement. However, you can also just eat the berries, which are tasty, full of nutrients and minerals, and easy to get. They make a rather good snack, in the same way you might snack on regular berries through the day. This will help to curb your appetite, reduce cravings for unhealthy sweets, and boost your energy and stamina.
In the end, the maqui berry has many comparative abilities to the acai or other berries. However, when it comes down to it, it is quite different, and should be recognized as a food and ingredient all its’ own. It can do incredible things for your overall health, boost weight loss efforts, and just make you look and feel better. Think of it as nature’s little miracle berry.
