Goji Berries

What are Goji Berries?

Goji Berries are an exotic superfood that originate from parts of Asia such as China and Tibet. The goji berry is also sometimes referred to as the Wolfberry or Lycium Barbarum.

In many parts of Asia, goji berries have been popular for many years and have been used for their medical and healing properties. However, it is only recently that they have started to become more popular and well known in the Western world.

Himalayan Goji Berries are grown in the pristine unpolluted valleys of the Himalayan Mountains and are one of the most nutrient rich foods ever discovered. The goji berry has more antioxidants than any other known food and contains more vitamin C than fruits such as oranges.

There has also recently been a surge of interest regarding Goji Drink and Goji Juice in the US.

This is probably largely due to a company called FreeLife which aggressively promotes its Goji Drink using network marketing. Personally I would stay away from this company as it seems as though their products are way overpriced and they have been seen to make misleading health claims that are unsupported by actual Goji Scientific Research.

As of yet it is not clear as to whether goji juice loses nutrients in the process of juicing, and also it is often diluted with other ingredients when put into drink form. Therefore I would suggest it's better to get dried Goji Berries rather than overpriced diluted goji drinks.

One other thing to make sure is that you are getting actual Himalayan Goji Berries and not the cheap wolfberries from the low lands of China where there is more pollution and the air is not so clean.

Many people are now including goji berries in their daily food intake because of the amazing nutritional and health benefits that they can bring.
