Description

Goji berries come from a vine plant that bears bright red fruit and grows naturally in the higher elevations of the Himalaya Mountains as well as other parts of Asia. Goji berries have been used for therapeutic and nutritional purposes in traditional Chinese medicine for nearly 2,000 years. When dried, the berries take on a concentrated bittersweet and tart flavor reminiscent of cranberries or cherries. Add dried goji berries to hot cereals like oatmeal, muesli, or porridge to lend tartness and chewy texture. Goji berries make tasty, nutrient-dense additions to grain bowls and green salads.
