Ingredients: Raw, Wildcrafted Authentic Tibetan Goji Berries (Lycium tibeticum/chinensis)

Description:
Raw, Wildcrafted Authentic Tibetan Goji Berries (16 oz./454 g):
The Original Goji Berry since 1976.

Of the many varieties of Lycium, the Tibetan Lycium berry has earned the respect of the great Physicians of Tibet over these many centuries and has been coined with the name ‘Goji’. It grows in remote unpolluted hills and valleys of Tibet and Mongolia, in soil so rich in nutrients that the berries are exploding with this special  nutrient dense vitality!

Here are just a few ways Goji supports a healthy life:

•     Protects the liver — less fatigue

•     Helps eyesight – supports kidney function

•     Increases metabolic activity — burns fat and aids digestion

•     Boosts immune function – Lymphocytes, Interleukin 2, Immunoglobulin

•     Improves circulation — supports distribution of nutrients and quality energy levels

•     Improves sexual function and fertility — boosts libido and energy

•     Promotes longevity — brings life support to the blood and all internal organs

•     Rich in phytonutrients, antioxidants, particularly carotenoids such as beta-carotene and zeaxanthin.

•     Test studies are showing that Goji berries may prevent the growth of cancer cells, reduce blood glucose, and lower cholesterol levels.

•     Goji has unique bioactive polysaccharides (LBP) — key markers for building immune response
  

Suggested Uses:
Savor each berry individually or add to hot and cold cereals, blender fruit juice drinks, add a handful to your water bottle and eat them as you drink, use in trail mix, soups, whole fruit and nut bars, baked goods, tea and fruit juice blends. Let your imagination SOAR with this creative culinary delight!

Where do Goji berries grow?
This special red berry is found growing wild in remote valleys and hillsides that traverse along green belt areas meandering between Tibet but mostly in Mongolia. This is where the best conditions exist for the production of the most nutrient-dense food on earth. The soil is usually alkaline (pH of 8.2 to 8.6) and very fertile. The temperatures get very cold and very hot (from 102 °F. to -16 °F.) This soil and climate produces the special, hardy Tibetan Goji berries that are small, plump, beautiful and famous. They are a deep red color with few seeds and an exquisitely sweet taste.

What do Goji berries look and taste like?
Whole, dried Goji berries are bright red and about the size of a raisin, but not quite as sweet as a raisin. Their flavor might be likened to a combination of cherries, dates, and raspberries. The vines of Goji plants often reach well over fifteen feet. The harsh climates in the traditional growing areas for Goji berries are partially responsible for the plants hardiness and potency. It can be likened to the way the highest antioxidant blueberries found in the US come from the harsh, yet rich and fertile climate of Alaska. Research done at New Brunswick Labs that extensively investigated blueberries grown in the US, showed a direct correlation between harsh climates and rich sources of antioxidants in the fruit. Because of these harsh climates the plants have increased nutrients that they need to be healthy and strong, and actually make more substances to protect themselves from harsh environments.

Evidence shows that nutrients in Goji berries improve cell communication and have antioxidant as well as anti-inflammatory properties. These substances have been shown to increase mitochondrial function and detoxification. It has also been shown that nutrient dense foods such as Goji berries are far superior to supplementation with isolated nutrients contained in juices, capsules or tablets.

Goji berries are found growing wild in remote, fertile valleys. They are naturally rich in antioxidant carotenoids, vitamin A, and Zeaxanthin. They contain B-complex vitamins, Vitamin C, and important polysaccharides. These special little berries contain more protein than whole wheat (they are 10% protein) and supply 18 different amino acids including all 8 essential amino acids. In addition, Goji berries are loaded with many phytonutrients.
