Goji Berries and its Wealth of Benefits
Goji Berries have been used by the Chinese people for more than 2,000 years as a medicinal and culinary ingredient.
Some legends report that goji berries were eaten by monks in the Himalayan Mountains and steeped in hot water to help aid meditation and obtain greater health, vitality, longevity, energy and stamina.
Low in calories, fat-free, a good source of fiber, and a high-antioxidant food, goji berry benefits include the ability to help fight free radicals that lead to disease, effectively manage your weight, and experience better digestion. Usually eaten raw, dried, or in liquid or powder form, versatile goji berries contain a wide range of phytonutrients, vitamins and trace minerals, giving them the name “superfood berries” by many health experts.
