We are often told that it is important to include foods that are high in antioxidants into our daily diets. However, this is often difficult as these foods are often hard to find and sometimes taste pretty bad. One source that is very high in these antioxidants are goji berries. But unlike a lot of other foods, goji berries are actually very nice as well as being so nutritious.

Goji berries are also pretty versatile. In Asia, goji berries are often consumed in teas or soups. This is less common in Europe and USA where goji berries are more often eaten either by themselves or in a multitude of recipes (even including things like Goji berry mince pies!)

This is clearly one of the reasons why goji berries are becoming so popular in the west… they are not only super nutritious, but they can also be consumed in a multitude of different ways.

Goji Berries are grown far up in the Himalayan Mountains and are grown on the border of China and Tibet.

The quality varies greatly depending upon where you get your goji berries from, so it is important to do your research. Make sure you get berries that are grown in areas of Tibet or in the mountain regions of China (not from low land areas). Organic certified Goji berries are also recommended.

I get my Tibetan Goji Berries from one of the best online goji websites (just do a Google search for “buy goji berries online” and you will find several) - you can be assured of the quality and the fact that they are tested and proven radiation free. Why not try out goji berries and get yourself into living longer now?

Goji Berry berries also come in 2 types of mediums one being a hard and dried Goji berry and then there is the soft Goji berry. There is no known difference between the effects on the potency of the Goji berry in which ever form, its all down to personal preference and intended use.

Another form of Goji Berries is Goji Juice and Goji drinks. These are particularly popular in USA and Canada (mainly due to a company called Freelife). This could well be worth trying if you feel you might prefer the juice to the actual berries themselves.

Other “superfoods” that are often mentioned in the same breath as Goji berries are that such as acai, spirulina and mangosteen. But companies promoting these sort of products often do so in a very aggressive and misleading way, so act with caution and don’t pay attention to too many medical claims.
