Rachel Ray first mentioned the maquiberry (pronounced as "maaki berry" or maki berry) on her TV show, and now everyone is talking about this powerful little purple berry from a place called Patagonia, in South America. Rachel was not the first to discover its amazing qualities, however; the Mapuche Indians from that southern region have been using it for medicinal purposes for years. So, what's so great about this berry? Rachel Ray credits it with helping her lose some annoying belly fat, and that does seem to be one of its properties. As the berry works to improve overall health in a person, it enables the body to cooperate with losing excessive weight.
