Product Description

Goji berries, sometimes called Wolfberries, are perhaps the most nutritionally-rich fruit on the planet. Goji berries contain 18 kinds of amino acids (six times higher than bee pollen) and contain all 8 essential amino acids (such as isoleucine and tryptophan). Goji berries contain up to 21 trace minerals (the main 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.

Goji berries have been traditionally regarded as a longevity, strength-building, and sexual potency food of the highest order. In several study groups with elderly people the berry was given once a day for 3 weeks, many beneficial results were experienced and 67% of the patients T cell transformation functions tripled and the activity of the patients white cell interleukin-2 doubled. In addition, the results showed that all the patients spirit and optimism increased significantly, appetite improved in 95% of the patients, 95% of the patients slept better, and 35% of the patients partially recovered their sexual function.

4.0 out of 5 stars 5 stars for the quality of the food, 2 for the price, July 29, 2005

The antioxidant properties of Goji Berries are ones you can feel immediately upon consuming them. They're a legit superfood, however, the price is outrageous. If you're comparing them with a dried snack fruit like raisins, they're 8x the cost (for organic). If paying $6 for an afternoon snack is up your alley, then there probably isn't a much better snack for you than these Goji berries.

My only beef with goji berries are that they are BONE dry. So dry, in fact, they could hurt your teeth, if you have sensitive teeth. I actually know someone who chipped a tooth on goji berries. Soaking them is ideal, and then using the juice in smoothies, not to waste the antioxidants that washed off into the water.

I couldn't believe the price for these berries, and they're a third of the size they should be. I'll stick to buying mine from the local Asian foods grocery at $3.25 a pound.

When i bought organic goji berries it was hard for me to get my hands off it. These berries taste like cranbery and chery. I personally think they taste better than raisins.I eat these berries plain, but the good thing about it is that you could get creative and add it in a smoothie, yogurt, etc. Goji berries has over 20 minerals and liver cleansing betaine compare this to lettuces.
