The Goji Berry Is Either One Of Nature's Super Foods.

By Thornie Swathi


Found growing in naturally warm, subtropical regions within both China and Mongolia as well as in Tibet's Himalayas, Goji berries look like small, red raisins but contain perhaps the most nutrients of any single fruit on Earth.

They are usually found dried, have a slight tangy taste, and belong to the nightshade (Solonaceae) family. They are very fragile and must be harvested by hand.

So what makes Goji berries so special? Goji berries contain more beta carotene than carrots, more vitamin C than oranges, more iron and antioxidants than spinach and more protein than whole wheat.

Offering numerous health benefits, Goji berries are touted as a tonic for helping keep the internal organs functioning properly as well as for keeping the body's energy in tune. Highly regarded as China's national treasure, the Goji berry is finally getting much needed attention in the West. Containing an impressive concentration of iron, they are also important to the circulatory system as well.

Even pets respond well to these berries! In fact, this is just a small sampling of the benefits of these incredible berries. Regardless of what you suffer from, Goji berry benefits are significant.

For me personally, living with anxiety and depression, I found just the mental clarity and having more energy made them worth their weight in gold. I do admit, I was skeptical at first, but after a week or so I was sold!

In vitro studies have shown that extracts of the goji fruit have been able to destroy cancer cells. Other than the antioxidants found in the goji, another goji berry benefit is its rich source of Germanium, which is known to have anti-cancer properties.

Since the benefits of Goji berry are so plentiful, many regard it to be the healthiest single food you could ever consume, with some even saying the fruit has magical, mystical properties.

And because Goji berries are such small, fragile fruits, they must be slowly and carefully harvested by hand, and what's even more time consuming is that all of the berries must be processed into juice form within the first 24 to 48 hours following harvest in order to retain their many nutrients.
