goji berries

Goji berries have been used in Chinese herbal medicine for years to treat imbalances of the liver, kidneys & eyes. These days you can find them in any health food store, and they are definitely worth snacking on. I personally like to mix them with nuts to make a tasty trail mix. Nutritional info for goji: they contain 18 amino acids, more beta carotene than carrots, more iron than spinach, and 21 trace minerals. They contain vitamins B1, B2, B6 & E, and 500 times more vitamin C by weight than oranges(!). They are 13% protein and contain extremely high levels of antioxidants, even higher than blueberries. They taste & look a little like red raisins. Let me know how you like 'em.
