Hailing from the mountains of Tibet and Mongolia the anti oxidant rich Goji berry is said to promote a long and healthy life. In fact, if you consume a daily dose of this tasty little red berry expect to improve your circulation, enhance your eyesight, boost your immune system, protect your liver and improve your sexual function and fertility!

Best of all, recent studies show that Goji berries have the potential to prevent the growth of cancer cells, reduce blood glucose, lower cholesterol levels. There are many health benefits of Goji, and they taste GREAT too!

Goji berries have been a part of Chinese, Tibetan and Indian medicine for the past 6,000 years and are said to be the reason why so many people in the rural areas of these countries (where Goji berries grow rife in rich nutrient laden soil) live to such a mighty age, free of common disease and full of vitality and joy.

Traditionally, Goji berries are eaten raw, brewed into a goji tea, added to soups, or made into extracts and powder for goji supplements. But the possibilities don’t end there, Goji berries which taste a little like a dried strawberry, can be added to cereal, blended into smoothies, added to homemade oat bars and trail mix or even tossed onto a tasty salad.

…and remember 10-30g of Goji berries a day is all it takes to reap the benefits.
