what they say about goji
I always think that only the Chinese uses this cooking, desserts and boiling soups but it surprises me that Goji Berries are also popular in the west in the form of dried Goji Berries and Goji Berry Juice. When I was young, mom will put a handful in the herbal soups and reminded me that those were great for my eyes. I knew little about what she said but as a young girl, you just listened what mom said.
I did a little research and was amazed by the nutritional and medicinal properties of this humble berry. They are high in antioxidants and are known for enhancing and boosting the immune system. Research has shown that 19 amino acids, 6 essential fatty acids, Vitamins B1, B2, B6, C and E, 500 times more Vitamin C than oranges, more beta carotene than carrots!
The organic food I patronized had once told me he ate dried goji berries as a snack and at that time, I would stare at him and doubt his claims. But I guessed I was wrong. Well, looks like mom knows these things even when she hasn’t gone to school. No wonder they say always listen to what mom says. And those who don’t fancy the berries, you can try Goji Juice too.
