Product Description
Nature’s Superfoods’ Organic Goji Berries are supersized, and specially selected for its natural sweetness and chewy texture as a healthy snack. They are organically grown in the pristine, high-altitude of Tibetan Plateau in China. The isolation of the plateau, known to be free from pollution and gifted with lots of sun, crystal clear waters (from melted snow) and clean air quality, provide the perfect uncontaminated environmental conditions for growing these wonderful Goji berries. These Goji berries are sun-dried which lends a different quality of sweetness and texture to the berries, unlike the more commonly available dried goji berries which are machine-dried and are usually too dry to be eaten as a snack.

According to legend, the goji berry was first discovered in the 17th century by a Taoist monk named Li Qing Yuen who resided in the Tibetan mountains and is believed to have lived for over 250 years. Li Qing Yuen attributed his remarkable longevity to his daily consumption of goji berries, firmly believing that these berries provided him with strength, vitality, and a prolonged life.

Storage: Store the product in a dry, dark place. It is best to keep it refrigerated. Please note that organic, sulfite-free goji berries (as well as any organic dried fruit) may tend to clump together, particularly in hot and humid weather. To reduce stickiness, we recommend refrigerating the berries. For an extended shelf life, you can freeze the berries in a sealed pack.
