The best and most authentic Goji berry around. This is not a Chinese Wolfberry called Goji. This is the Goji berry found beneficial in the Tibetan Medicinal Research. A perfect anytime travel snack.
These are authentic, very pure Grade A goji berries that are shade dried, organically cultivated wild plants. Tibetan Lycium Eleagnus (Tibetan Goji Berry) is the original source of this great energetic ancient Tibetica Lycium berry and these Tibetan Goji berries are the purest form of the Lycium berry and come from a compassionate culture that honors all life. They're grown in protected valleys in wild and cultivated areas of Inner Mongolia in million year-old soil where pesticides have never been used.
You will know when you are eating true Authentic Tibetan Goji Berries because they are very sweet and taste delicious. If you get a cardboard sensation you may not be eating the true Goji (also written gogi).
These tibetan goji berries are a very rich source of vitamin C, having 500 times more vitamin C per ounce than oranges. They are also a superb source of vitamin A, containing more beta carotene than carrots. They have vitamins B1, B2, B6, and E and are becoming well-known for their antioxidant properties. A rich source of both selenium and germanium. The goji berry has 18 amino acids (higher than bee pollen) and 21 trace minerals, linoleic acid and other beneficial food co-factors. Tibetan Goji Berries are truly a raw "super" food. It takes approximately 3 kilos (6.6 lbs) of fresh berries to make 1/2 kilo (18 oz) of dried. That's a lot of berries.

Some claim that the Goji is a spiritually significant food.
