Goji
The tasty berries originate from China and are now cultivated in Asia, Europe and America. Dried, the reddish berries look like elongated rosehips. In Asian countries, the goji berry has been used for centuries to support the immune system. It is also believed that the berry is beneficial to the eyes and acts as an “anti-ageing” agent.
What is certain is that goji berries contain a polysaccharide complex that supports the immune system and serves as food for beneficial gut bacteria. A high level of antioxidants can help defend against free radicals.
