Goji berries have been traditionally regarded as a longevity, strength-building, and sexual potency food of the highest order. <br /><br />This is what experts are saying... Goji berries are perhaps the most nutritionally-rich fruit on the planet. <br /><br />Goji berries contain amino acids (six times higher than bee pollen) and contain all 8 essential amino acids, up to 21 trace minerals (the main ones being zinc, iron, copper, calcium, germanium, selenium, and phosphorus), being the richest source of carotenoids, including beta-carotene (more beta carotene than carrots), of all known <br />foods or plants on earth! <br /><br />They contain 500 times the amount of vitamin C, by weight, than oranges making them second only to camu camu berries as the richest vitamin C source on earth.<br />Goji berries also contain vitamins B1, B2, B6, and vitamin E and the list goes on and on...<br /><br />Experts suggest a good daily intake of Goji berries is a small handful. <br /><br />Goji berries may be used as snacks or mixed with recipes or smoothies like other dried fruits.<br /><br />The Goji berry tastes more or less like a cross between a cranberry and a cherry.<br /><br />I like them with fresh squeezed orange juice or soya milk....<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">With Orange Juice:</span><br /><br />Squeeze 2-3 oranges and pour it in a blender, take a small handful of (raw dried goji berries) toss them in the blender with the orange juice and blend it for a few minutes until the berries are totally mixed into the juice.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">I also shake it with soya milk:</span><br /><br />Pour 8 oz of soya milk into a blender, add a riped banana and of course a small handful of goji berries.... again blend it till the berries are totally mixed into drink... and there you have it...<br /><br />Of course I try to use organic ingredients as much as i can... Hope you enjoy it...<br /><br />If you have any recipes with goji berries i would be delighted to learn them from you...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35393867-116118612051563940?l=commonchallenges.blogspot.com'/></div>Reinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13196987546086708737noreply@blogger.com1
