**6. Conclusions**

This review provides relevant information about the native Patagonian berries—maqui, murta, calafate, arrayán, and Chilean strawberry—that could be used as a functional food due to its diverse and high flavonol and anthocyanin contents that can prevent inflammatory-, metabolic syndrome-, and cardiovascular-associated pathologies. Within the fruits discussed in this review, maqui is the native berry with major potential, followed by the murta fruit. Future functional studies and the production of cultivars are critical to strengthening the potential of these fruits in the food market.
