What is Organic Dried Goji Berries?
Organic Dried Goji Berries are hand-harvested at peak ripeness and sun-dried using traditional bamboo trays, preserving their vibrant red color, chewy texture, and 3,290 µmol TE/g ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) value—a scientific measure of antioxidant potency surpassing blueberries and pomegranates. Each berry retains naturally high levels of zeaxanthin (2.5 mg/100g), a carotenoid critical for eye health, alongside 18 amino acids and 21 trace minerals like iron (9 mg/100g) and zinc.
Organic Goji Juice is cold-pressed from freshly harvested berries within six hours of picking, using a Not-From-Concentrate (NFC) process to retain heat-sensitive nutrients like ≥20% polysaccharides, clinically proven immune-modulating compounds. Unlike conventional juices, this liquid gold contains no added sugars, preservatives, or water dilution, delivering the pure essence of goji with 12,500 µmol TE/L antioxidant activity—ideal for functional beverages or nutraceutical formulations.
Derived from the ancient superfruit Lycium barbarum, commonly known as Goji berry or wolfberry, our Organic Dried Goji Berries and Organic Goji Juice are cultivated in the fertile, mineral-rich soils of Ningxia, China—a region globally celebrated for producing the world’s highest-quality goji berries. For over 2,000 years, goji berries have been a cornerstone of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), revered as the “Longevity Fruit” for their ability to nourish the liver, kidneys, and eyes.
Both products are USDA Organic and EU Organic certified, grown on family-owned farms practicing regenerative agriculture. Irrigation from the Yellow River ensures optimal mineral absorption (calcium: 112 mg/100g in dried berries), while Fair-Trade partnerships guarantee ethical wages for local farmers.
