Organic Goji Berries

Goji Berries: A Tasty Way to Improve Your Diet!

In valleys of Tibet and Mongolia there is a special berry that the locals use and cherish so much that they honor it in special celebrations that last two weeks each year. It is well documented that many people in those areas live free of common diseases and for well over a hundred years.

Of the many varieties of Lycium, the Tibetan Goji berry has earned the respect of the great Physicians of Tibet for many centuries. The Tibetan variety of Lycium called Goji is considered to be the Mother of all Lyciums! It grows in very remote unpolluted hills and valleys of Tibet and Mongolia, in soil so rich in nutrients that the berries are exploding with this special nurturing vitality.

Goji is the ancient colloquial name given only to this Tibetan variety of Lycium berry by the indigenous Tibetan and Mongolian people of the region. Local wildcrafters are careful to distinguish the Goji berry from its distantly related offspring, the Chinese Wolfberry (Lycium barbarum), pointing out that whilst the later evolved (over centuries) from the Goji berry, its genetic makeup differs considerably, as do the regions within which these two different berries are growing.

Tibetan Goji berries are not Chinese wolfberries and it is not correct to call the Chinese wolfberry 'Goji'. The great Tibetan Goji berry is a different plant then the Chinese wolfberry and grown in a different country. The nutrient dense energy of the Tibetan Goji berry has been recognized as having the highest in nutrient energy of all the 80 plus varieties of Lycium berries on Earth. Many marketers often call there wolfberries 'Goji' to give them special importance.

The Tibetan Goji Berry grows in profusion in remote wild areas with vines reaching over twenty feet. The round red berries are harvested in the late summer and early autumn by being shaken onto mats, then shade-dried before packaging on location. Every year they are tested for purity and that they are free of any chemical pesticides.

Of course they are very pure because no chemicals or ever used. We feel these wildcrafted berries exceed any organic standards set by any country in the world and because they are wildcrafted they have more nutrient energy then cultivated varieties such as the Lycium barbarum abundantly available from China.

It is said in Tibet that eating Goji berries in the morning will make you happy the entire day — with such a practice, eventually you can't stop smiling.

The taste is not too difficult to describe .... some say between a cranberry and a cherry .... others say they taste of raspberry and plum .... you will have to decide for yourself!

Savior 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!

Goji berries need to be stored in a cool dry place. Shelf life is 2 years.
