Goji berries have been appreciated in Asian herbal medicine for several millenniums, but only recently have western cultures "discovered" the power of this superfood. A small and red berry, goji grows on a thorny perennial bush, and is indigenous to the Himalayan mountains. This special berry has a remarkable nutritional profile, and it is now among the most highly sought-after superfoods around the world.
The goji’s solid plant-based protein is packed with 18 amino acids -- including all 8 essential amino acids – which is 10% of the fruits composition. Also full of free-radical-devouring antioxidants, goji berries have been historically used to support the immune system and longevity. Rich in vitamin A and a good source of vitamin C, these berries additionally possess over 20 trace minerals and vitamins including zinc, iron, phosphorus, riboflavin (B2), vitamin E, and carotenoids which include beta-carotene. And to put things in perspective on just how powerful the little goji berry is, ounce per ounce it contains more vitamin C than oranges, more beta carotene than carrots, and more iron than soybeans or spinach.
These berries are great in cereal, smoothies (once hydrated), tea, or eat them like raisins.
