WHY WE STOCK IT
A naturally sweet and slightly tart dried fruit that can be eaten directly from the package or added to breakfast foods, salads, baking and trail mixes. Goji berries contain fibre and naturally occurring carotenoid antioxidants, including zeaxanthin.
 
These berries are certified organic and provide a convenient alternative to sweetened dried fruit.
 
BEST FOR
Anyone looking for a chewy, plant-based snack or colourful addition to oatmeal, yogurt, smoothies, granola and savoury dishes.
 
Goji berries are nutritious whole fruit, but claims that they detoxify the body, prevent disease, improve eyesight or strengthen immunity have not been established for this specific product. They should not replace medical treatment for an eye, immune or metabolic condition.
 
HOW TO ENJOY THEM
Enjoy a small handful directly from the package or add them to:
Oatmeal, cereal or yogurt
Smoothies and smoothie bowls
Salads, grain bowls and cooked rice
Trail mix, granola and baked goods
Hot water for a simple goji-berry infusion
 
The berries can be soaked in water for several minutes to soften them before blending or adding them to recipes.
 
Dried fruit is concentrated in naturally occurring sugar and calories compared with fresh fruit. Use the serving size shown on the physical package, particularly when managing blood glucose.
 
MEDICATION AND SAFETY CAUTIONS
Do not consume goji berries without speaking to your prescriber or pharmacist if you take warfarin. Published case reports have linked goji products with increased INR and serious bleeding in people whose warfarin therapy was previously stable.
 
Ask a healthcare professional before regular use if you:
Take another anticoagulant or antiplatelet medication
Take medication for diabetes or low blood pressure
Are pregnant or breastfeeding
Have a known allergy to goji berries or other plants in the nightshade family
 
Stop eating the product and seek medical advice if hives, itching, swelling, wheezing or another allergic reaction develops. Seek urgent care for difficulty breathing or swelling of the lips, tongue or throat.
 
Whole dried berries can be a choking hazard for young children. Cut or soften them as appropriate and supervise children while eating.
