Goji Berry

In China they like to eat their Goji Berries raw….plucked straight off the goji berry bush and straight down the hatch is the preferred method of the East.

So what are Goji Berries?

The Wilderness Family Naturals website summed it up best “Goji Berries are gathered from plants growing in the mountains of Tibet. They are wild-grown, and wild-harvested.
