The exclusive Ultimate SuperFoods Real Goji Berries are from a pristine area within the Ningxia Province in China. This is where people have grown Goji Berries for centuries. Goji Berries are very high in anti-oxidants and are noted to be one of the most important herbs in Traditional Chinese Medicine that can be prescribed for dozens for different ailments. Ancient Chinese medical texts praised Goji Berries as tonic support for the eyes, liver, and kidneys. More than anything, they are believed to increase the “chi” or life energy in those that eat them. An early medical work, Shen Nung Ben Tsao (475-221 B.C.), observed Goji Berry benefits ranging from replenishing vital essences to strengthening and restoring major organs. The physician’s handbook, Ben Cao Gang Mu, recorded during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644 A.D.) writes, "taking in Goji Berry regularly may regulate the flow of vital energy and strengthen the physique, which can lead to longevity."

Chinese herbalists have prescribed Goji Berries to restore energy and strength, increase stamina and longevity, boost sexual libido and enhance fertility (explaining its name – matrimony vine), strengthen the immune system, treat insomnia, improve eyesight (it's the world's richest food source of carotenoids), and aid in digestion. The polysaccharides in Goji Berries have been found to stimulate interleukin-2 and gamma interferon, which are anti-inflammatory and induce immune enhancing responses.

Our goji’s are more organic than the quote unquote "organic goji berries" that are on the market. We have put these lots through the FDA test in a California lab checking for more than 400 different chemicals used in agriculture and processing, as well as Sulfites. All test results concluded that no chemicals were detected, which assures us of the highest quality standards our Chinese associates utilize for growing our Goji Berries. These same Goji Berries have won awards from the China Medical Promotion Committee as their recommended brand and they are Green Food certified. Here Goji Berries are a food, but in China they are a medicine. These Goji Berries are simply the best. Try them and you will be happy you did. They are loaded with flavor and have a perfect moisture level.

On a nutritional level, Goji Berries are unmatched by any other food. They are loaded with 18 kinds of amino acids (six times higher than bee pollen) and contain all 8 essential amino acids (such as isoleucine and tryptophan). Plus, Goji berries contain up to 21 trace minerals (the most powerful 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.

As far as taste goes, it is somewhat difficult to describe. Some say Goji Berries’ taste is between a cranberry and a cherry, and others say they taste like raspberry and plum. Either way, savor each Goji individually. They can be eaten by the handful or added to hot and cold cereals, blender drinks or salads. Add a handful to your water bottle and eat them as you drink, or use in trail mix, soups, whole fruit and nut bars, baked goods, tea, etc. Goji Berries are tasty, fun and energizing.

Be aware of Goji Berries sold as “Tibetan Gojis”. As far as we know, there is no such thing. People are promoting and hyping something that doesn’t exist. Why? Please see this article on the subject of Tibetan Goji.
