Enjoy Goji Berries
1) Snacking delight - Dried goji berries have a mild sweetness and are slightly chewy, which makes them
perfect for snacking. These super berries are ready to be enjoyed straight out of the bag! You can also add them
to trail mix with other dried fruit and nuts.
2) Teas, smoothies & other beverages - Reconstitute goji berries by soaking them in warm water for 5 to
10 minutes, until they become plump and chewy. When the goji berry is reconstituted, it takes on a hearty sweetness
and is wonderful in beverages.
3) Breakfast foods - Mix goji berries in oatmeal or cereal for an energizing boost. Layer them in yogurt for a new
kind of parfait. Goji berries are also a delicious addition to granola bars and baked goods.
4) Soups & salads - Dried goji berries are commonly used in Chinese herbal soups to boost the nutrient content.
You can add them to your own soups and broths. Alternatively, toss them over salads for a nice crunch.
5) Grain dishes - Add dried goji berries to quinoa, rice, couscous, and other grain recipes. The super-berries lend
little bursts of nutrition and sweetness to your dishes. Buy goji berries in bulk so that you’ll have plenty to incorporate into
your favorite foods.
Goji Health Benefits
1) Anti-Aging Superfood - Goji berries are considered the world's most powerful anti-aging food. They're
rated #1 on the ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) scale, which measures the antioxidant level of foods.
Antioxidants fight free radical damage associated with diseases and premature aging. Dried goji berries contain 3x the
antioxidants of pomegranates!
2) Protect Eyesight - Goji berries contain two key nutrients that support vision: lutein and zeaxanthin. Studies show
that consuming high amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin lowers the risk for developing age-related macular degeneration,
cataracts, and other eye diseases.
3) Promote Skin Health - The vitamins in dried goji berries can give your skin a healthy, youthful glow. The rich content
of vitamin A, vitamin C and zinc naturally occurring in goji berries helps to improve skin tone and texture. Research suggests
that vitamin C and zinc act as antioxidants to lessen the harmful effects of UV radiation on the skin.
4) Boosts Immune System - Goji berries contain even more vitamin C per 100g than oranges. They are also high in the
trace element selenium, which fights bacterial and viral infections. Adding a small handful of dried goji berries to hot teas or soups
isn’t a bad idea when the cold and flu season hits.
5) Good Source of Amino Acids - Goji berries contain 18 amino acids, including all eight essential amino acids. Our bodies
use this combination of amino acids to build the proteins it needs. Since we cannot synthesize essential amino acids from scratch,
we must obtain them through our diet.
6) Liver & Kidney Benefits - A compound found in goji berries called betaine, is used by the liver to produce choline. Choline
supports the liver and kidneys by helping them expel toxins and waste from the body.
