Wildcrafted Goji Berries:
Goji berries are perhaps the most nutrient-rich fruit in existence. The goji berry is a vibrant deep-red, dried fruit about the same size as a current or raisin. It has a sweet taste, with a slight tartness, and are like a cross between a cranberry and a cherry. Goji berries are grown predominantly in the hills of northwest China in some of the purest soils on Earth.

Goji Berries can be used in many ways. Like other dried fruits, goji berries can be added to smoothies, nuts and seeds, trail mix, muesli, breakfast cereals, porridge and yoghurt. Or, simply eat by the handful as they are, as a wonderful nutritious and healthy snack! Although they are best eaten in their raw state to maintain potency, they can also be used as an ingredient in cakes, cookies, snack bars etc or made into a delicious tea. We like to soak them in different juices. A 10-30g serving per day (a small handful) is recommended as a good daily intake, although you can eat as many as you like!
Our goji berries are grown in the Ningxia province in China, the region in China that produces the highest quality and healthiest goji.
