Bulk Maqui Berry Powder Supplier (USA): Patagonian anthocyanins, freeze-dried or spray-dried

A factual sourcing sheet for supplement and beverage manufacturers buying maqui berry powder in bulk — the two grades, their polyphenol and colour profile, the limits and documents behind every lot, and the regulatory note EU buyers need before ordering.

Quick answer: Maqui berry (Aristotelia chilensis) is a deep-purple Patagonian berry sourced from Chile and valued for its anthocyanin-rich polyphenol content. New Açaí Amazonas supplies organic maqui berry powder in bulk in two grades — freeze-dried 100% fruit (polyphenols ≥ 60 mg/g) and spray-dried juice powder (80% fruit, 20% cassava maltodextrin) — from a 365-day inventory in Orlando, Florida, certified USDA-NOP and EU 2018/848 organic, Kosher and Non-GMO.

Freeze-dried or spray-dried maqui — and a regulatory note for the EU

The freeze-dried grade is the whole fruit with nothing added: it carries the highest polyphenol assay (≥ 60 mg/g on the TDS), the darkest colour and the lowest moisture, and is the grade to specify for capsules and "100% fruit" claims. The spray-dried grade disperses instantly in water and costs less per kilo, which suits beverages and smoothie mixes where a strong purple colour and berry flavour matter more than assay.

EU buyers, read this before ordering. Under EU novel-food rules, maqui berry's authorized use in the European Union is limited to food supplements; a lot destined for a general food or beverage category in the EU can be refused at the border on that basis. We have handled exactly this situation for a customer and reformulated the product around it, so tell us the destination market and the product category when you request a quote and we will confirm the status before anything ships. This restriction does not apply to the United States.
