Delicious Ways to Serve Goji Berries

Posted by Easy Weight Loss | March 3, 2009 .

One of the most nutrient dense fruits in existence is the goji berry, also known as the wolfberry. This orange-red berry can be found in mass quantities in China but grows in many different regions. It can be considered a ’superfruit’ because of its nutritional content, and has even been mentioned on the Oprah Winfrey show along with acai berry, another superfruit. Goji berries look like orange raisins as they are usually always dried before being marketed for consumption.

If you prefer to eat whole berries instead of getting your goji from a powder or capsule supplement, you can purchase the dried berries at some supermarkets, farmers’ markets and health food stores. You can also order dried goji berries online. Consider dipping the berries in dark chocolate, which is a healthy choice itself because of the high level of antioxidants. The slight sweetness of the chocolate sets off the mild tangy flavor of the berry. You can buy chocolate covered goji berries or make your own by melting dark chocolate to use as a dipping sauce.

Of course you can eat dried goji berries plain if you enjoy their flavor. Try making a trail mix with dried goji berries, raisins, seeds, nuts and granola. This makes a delicious energy-boosting snack for between meals that can easily be taken on the go.You can also buy goji juice and drink it plain or mix it with other juices like blueberry, grape, pomegranate and acai. If you enjoy smoothies by all means add goji berry juice to your usual recipe. There are a variety of recipes available online that feature this nutritious berry.

There are many advantages to consuming goji berry in any form. This berry is packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. It has been an important part of traditional Chinese medicine for many years as it has anti-inflammatory properties, may help relieve nausea and prevent vision loss associated with aging. Goji berries are a delicious way to improve the nutritional content of your diet. Whether you eat them plain, with decadent dark chocolate or drink goji berry juice you can be assured you’re making a wise dietary decision.
