Goji Fruit
Goji berries are very nutrient dense berries rich in antioxidants and listed by some specialists as one of the top 10 "Superfoods."In the health-food industry, this berry is also known as the Chinese wolfberry. The berries grow on an evergreen shrub found in temperate and subtropical regions in China, Mongolia and in the Himalayas in Tibet. The berries are usually found dried and look like red raisins. The goji wolfberry has had quite a buzz lately - claiming all kinds of health benefits. While all of the claims may not be well researched, this berry is very nutrient rich and has some powerful antioxidants that benefits our vision. Especially rich in carotenoids such as beta-carotene and zeaxanthin, these Chinese berries are commonly found in juices and teas or can be bought as a dried fruit. My husband and I have started including organic goji berries into our diet. Although many people do enjoy eating them plain or mixed with their granola, we like to put them in our healthy smoothies. These antioxidant berries and juice can be found on-line, at Chinese herbal shops or health food stores. Find out why you should include goji fruit into your diet:
