Organic Wild Crafted Goji Berries Dried
Of the many varieties of the botanical Lycium, the Tibetan Goji berry (Lycium Eleganus) is considered to be the most health-enhancing. It grows in the remote, unpolluted hills and valleys of Tibet and Mongolia in extremely nutrient-rich soil without chemicals or pesticides, and is recognized as having the highest nutrient content of all the 80 varieties of Lycium. It is not to be confused with the Chinese Wolfberry (Lycium barbarum) which, though distantly related to the Goji, has a different genetic make-up and grows in a different environment.
All berries are dried to a moisture content of 10-14% for a soft and chewy texture, and can easily be re-hydrated if desired. These pure goji berries are raw, kosher, gluten-free, vegan, and 100% certified organic.
