Default Goji Berry
Goji berry is a fruit found in Himalayas, parts of Tibet, Mongolia and china. Under careful scrutiny, scientists have found the Goji Berry to be one of the most nutritionally dense fruits on earth.

The nutrients of goji berries can be broadly divided into macronutrients and micronutrients. Macronutrients include carbohydrates (68%), proteins (12%), fats (10%) and dietary fibers (10%). This berry also contains 19 amino acids including some essential amino acids. Selenium and Germanium are possibly helpful in the treatment of cancer. Vitamins such as Vitamin B1, B2, B6, C and E are also found in appreciable amounts. The carotene content of Goji Berry is higher than carrot which provides it good antioxidant property. Apart from this goji berry contains polysaccharides, monosaccharide and unsaturated fatty acids including essential fatty acids such as Linoleum acid which promotes fat loss.

Organic goji fruit juices are full of nutrients such as the minerals: germanium, zinc, calcium, selenium, iron, copper and phosphorus, and amino acids like isoleucine and methione.

This is great! No wonder it is very expensive and rich in antioxidants. I want to get myself some Goji berries too but it's too expensive. I better look for around to see if I can get one that is cheaper. Thanks this very informative post mikaela

I was actually surprised when I read about this info about goji berries. I think that it is also expensive because it is grown in China. I'm not sure if there are locally grown berries around here.

Just reading through the health benefits that we can get off goji berries makes me want to try it. It's not only good for the health but it also helps in weight loss.

I agree, this is an amazing fruit. If we can find a locally grown goji berry I think that will be cheaper. I could not believe how rich this fruit is in health benefits. As an alternative to fight free radicals, I'll just go with dark chocolates, black raspberries, and blueberries. These are also very effective and healthy but they are affordable and practical too
