SUN DRIED GOJI BERRIES – ORGANIC

Goji Berry Benefits

For thousands of years, organic goji berry (Lycium Barbarum) has been revered for its staggering array of possible health supporting qualities and has been traditionally used as a wholesome food that may aid in the overall strengthening of the human body. Science has shown that this bright red berry not only contains extremely high levels of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals but also has many unique phytonutrients, polysaccharides, and complex compounds that scientists are just beginning to understand.

Goji Berries absorb free radicals and have one of the highest Antioxidant levels of all foods!

The dried non-GMO goji berry is a relative of the tomato and a natural source of lycopene. It has been called the world’s most powerful anti-aging food. Goji berry juice is one of the highest rated foods on the ORAC scale (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity). The ORAC scale is a test developed by USDA researchers out of Tufts University in Boston, that measures the antioxidant level in foods. Goji berries possess an unmatched ability to absorb free radicals that attack the body, contributing to the aging process. Today, our bodies are constantly bombarded with external sources of food and environmental toxins. Eating foods high in antioxidants is one way we can help our bodies to combat the damage toxins cause.

Raw goji berries, dried goji berries and goji juice contain 18 amino acids. They are also a rich source of vitamins A and C, and have 21 trace minerals. All of the above attributes makes this super berry a nutritionally dense food.
