8 Ways To Use Goji Berries

The benefits of goji berries are countless, giving us every reason to eat incorporate them more into our daily lives. They’re chock full of every vital nutrient your body wants and they’re known as the “happy berry”. Isn’t that enough of a reason to eat them?

Seriously though, if you’re a Conscious Diva that wants to take her health to the next level (I’ll assume you are), you’ve got to know about at least 8 of the creative ways to use goji berries. Sure, you can just eat them straight out of the bag as I suggest below, but there’s more fun we can have with this youth-enhancing, raisin-like chewy dried fruit! Let’s have some fun…

High quality, soft, dried organic goji berries on the left (sourced from pristine regions in Asia) & packaged, hard & crunchy organic goji’s from the bulk bin on the right. Go soft!

Straight out of the bag as a snack
Keep in mind while reading this post that high quality goji berries are of a softer variety and not the hard crunchy ones (like what’s found in bulk bins) as that’s a sign of poor quality goji’s. Dragon Herbs and Bija (on Amazon) are the only 2 brands I know of that offer the best goji’s ever. When you shake the bag or box, they should NOT shake – they should stick together. Warning: they are addictive! See picture to the right for a comparison…

Super Goji Berry Trail Mix
Soak and dehydrate (if you can) your favorite organic nuts and seeds. Leave them whole and/or chop some of them up into smaller pieces, and add a heaping handful of organic or wildcrafted dried goji berries to the mix. Hit the trails, go for a bike ride, or jet set across the world with your super berry high protein trail mix. Goji berries are a complete protein, so they’re ideal for athletes and peeps that want those amino acids for the nervous system, brain, heart, and… well, everything else!

Goji berry tea
Drop several goji berries into your glass of spring water and allow to soak/steep for 15 minutes or longer. They act as a natural sweetener, releasing some of the sugar into the water (though it’s not overly sugary in taste). This is bliss-inducing goji berry tea! Add a slice of lemon for a tart twist.

As a topping / decoration for smoothies, puddings, cakes & cupcakes
Sprinkle several goji berries on your healthy kitchen creations. Kids will love this, as will adults. It brightens up everything you do, and lifts your mood to boot! I often add goji berries on top of the Creamy Cacao Pudding recipe and the chewy texture is great on top of this smooth silky pudding – try it yourself!

Soaked / hydrated and blended into smoothies
Add 1 tablespoon of soaked (for 5+ minutes) goji berries to green smoothies (with 60% sweet organic fruit and 40% green leafys), or to superfood smoothies with nut/seed mylk as the base and layers of superfoods mixed in.

Fresh goji berries from the farmer’s market

Add to your tonic herbal tea
Add just a few goji berries to your brew either during your tea brewing time on the stove, or once poured into your mug, for added sweetness and age-defying antioxidants.

“Superfood bliss balls”
In a food processor, process:

- your favorite organic nuts & seeds, ideally soaked & dehyrated (start with 2 cups)
- a big handful of goji berries
- medjool dates (start with 2 and add more as needed for the mixture to bind together)
- 1 tbsp raw cacao powder (add more if desired)
- 1 tsp – 1 tbsp superfood powder of choice (green powder, maca, goji extract powder, bee pollen, spirulina, etc)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean powder
- 1 teaspoon lucuma powder
- a pinch of sea salt

Chill for an hour or longer. Keep a container in the fridge for easy snacking! Experiment with the recipe, you’ll find what you like!

“Ants on a log” (remember this snack as a kid, but with raisins?)
- spread raw almond butter (instead of peanut butter) on sliced organic celery sticks and top with goji berries!

Goji Berries - The Longevity Fruit

Goji (pronounced go-gee) berry food products are quite the rage these days. They seem to be popping up everywhere, as either an ingredient in trail mix or crunch bars or alone as a juice, tea or dried fruit. Goji berries, or wolfberries as they are sometimes called, are far from a new food, though, having been used for centuries in Chinese medicine to cure a variety of ailments.

 

The nickname “Longevity Fruit” comes from the fact that in Northern China -Ningxia where the availability and consumption of the fruit is high, there are over 16 times the number of people over 100 years old as compared to the rest of the country. These centenarians tend to be much healthier and more active than their counterparts in Western culture.

 

Ancient folklore has it that a Chinese man who ate Goji berries lived to the ripe old age of 252 years! No wonder its known as the “Longevity Fruit”! One source has also coined the nickname “Hallelujah Berry.”

 

Is there any truth to these claims?

As is the case with many herbal and dietary supplements, sufficient scientific evidence to prove therapeutic benefits is not available yet.

 

Here’s what is known: Goji berries are nutritious foods that are considered pretty safe for everyone except for pregnant or lactating women. They should avoid consuming Goji berries until more is known about how this food actually works in the body. [ed’s note – from research I have conducted elsewhere, it seems that Goji berries are not only safe for pregnant and lactating women, but also recommended at a dose of 10g per day.]

 

It is recommended that individuals limit their consumption of Goji fruit to 10g to 30g per day, due to the selenium content which can be toxic at high intake levels.

Goji Extract Powder processing

Generally dried goji berries are used to make a concentrated Goji berry extract powder with the desired polysaccharide content.

 

The intended Lycium Barbarum Polysaccharides (LBP) are water soluble, a sterile process environment is necessary the extract this component from the berries.

 

After extraction the liquid extract is dried into powder. This extraction process can result in various extract powders. The most common one is a water soluble Wolfberry extract powder with 10% Polysaccharides (LBP).

 

In order to reach considerable higher LBP-contents then this 10%, prior to drying, molecular separation techniques are used to separate the smaller molecules (mainly mono- and disaccharides) from the liquid extract.

Depending on the degree in which these smaller molecules are removed, the higher the actual content of LBP in the extract powder will be.
In this way, practically the highest content of LBP that can be reached is approximately 50% polysaccharides.
