The exclusive Real Goji Berries are from a pristine area within the Ningxia Province
in China. This is where people have grown Goji Berries for centuries. Goji Berries
are very high in anti-oxidants. More than anything, they are believed to increase
the "chi" or life energy in those that eat them. The physician's handbook, Ben Cao
Gang Mu, recorded during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644 A.D.) writes, "taking in Goji
Berry regularly may regulate the flow of vital energy and strengthen the physique,
which can lead to longevity."
Chinese herbalists have prescribed Goji Berries to restore energy and strength,
increase stamina and longevity, boost sexual libido and strengthen the immune system,
prove eyesight (it's the world's richest food source of carotenoids), and aid in
digestion. The polysaccharides in Goji Berries have been found to stimulate interleukin-2
and gamma interferon, which are anti-inflammatory and induce immune enhancing responses.
Our goji's are more organic than the quote-unquote organic goji berries that are
on the market. We have put these lots through the FDA test in a California lab checking
for more than 400 different chemicals used in agriculture and processing, as well
as Sulfites. All test results concluded that no chemicals were detected, which assures
us of the highest quality standards our Chinese associates utilize for growing our
Goji Berries. These same Goji Berries have won awards from the China Medical Promotion
Committee as their recommended brand and they are Green Food certified. These Goji
Berries are simply the best. Try them and you will be happy you did. They are loaded
with flavor and have a perfect moisture level.
On a nutritional level, Goji Berries are unmatched by any other food. They are loaded
with 18 kinds of amino acids (six times higher than bee pollen) and contain all
8 essential amino acids (such as isoleucine and tryptophan). Plus, Goji berries
contain up to 21 trace minerals (the most powerful ones being zinc, iron, copper,
calcium, germanium, selenium, and phosphorus). Goji berries are the richest source
of carotenoids, including beta-carotene (more beta carotene than carrots), of all
known foods or plants on earth. They contain 500 times the amount of vitamin C,
by weight, than oranges making them second only to camu camu berries as the richest
vitamin C source on earth. Goji berries also contain vitamins B1, B2, B6, and vitamin
E.
As far as taste goes, it is somewhat difficult to describe. Some say Goji Berries'
taste is between a cranberry and a cherry, and others say they taste like raspberry
and plum. Either way, savor each Goji individually. They can be eaten by the handful
or added to hot and cold cereals, blender drinks or salads. Add a handful to your
water bottle and eat them as you drink, or use in trail mix, soups, whole fruit
and nut bars, baked goods, tea, etc. Goji Berries are tasty, fun and energizing.
