Goji berries, also known as a wolfberry, are a bright red berry native to China. Like other super-fruits, goji berries are full of antioxidants, which are believed to slow the aging process and prevent life threatening diseases such as cancer and heart disease. Other research has shown goji berries may lower cholesteral levels, improve eye-sight and circulation, and increase metabolic activity.
You can eat goji berries raw, in juice, or dried (pictured). If you buy the dried variety, a small amount is all you need. Raw or dried goji berries can be added to salads, cereal, yogart, or blended with your morning shake.
