Description

Goji berries are most often consumed as a dried berry, however they can also be found juiced or powdered form. Goji berries are associated with ancient Chinese Medicine for longevity and energy creation.

Goji berries are low in calories, are fat-free and a good source of fiber. They contain naturally occurring antioxidants and wide range of phytonutrients, vitamins and trace minerals. Goji berries look similar in texture to raisins when dried, and they have chewy texture with a flavour somewhere between cranberries and cherries.

Goji berries are remarkably high in protein for a fruit. They contain all eight essential amino acids. They also have a high fibre content and as they are a complex carbohydrate they will not spike blood sugar levels.
