They’re easy to add to meals to boost energy levels and performance. They’ve been used in traditional Chinese medicine for more 2000 years Whoa!!! They provide 11 essential amino acids!! They pack 500 times more vitamin C than an orange!!! Rich in iron, copper, zinc, selenium, vitamins A and C! Goji berry benefits include the ability to naturally treat diabetes , hypertension, infectious diseases, and common illnesses like the cold or a fever. Traditionally, they’ve also been used to fight depression and anxiety or other mood disorders.

Thanks to their ability to reduce blood glucose, regulate cholesterol levels and keep triglycerides at an ideal balance, they’re also shown to prevent heart disease.

I like to freeze them so they’re crunchy and not so chewy but I like them all the ways! I mix them with pumpkin seeds and coconut or almonds or pistachios whatever nuts I happen to have on hand. So yummy!!
