Goji berries are among the most nutrient-dense and antioxidant-rich foods in the world. They have 500 times more vitamin C than oranges, more iron than spinach, and more beta-carotene than carrots. Unusually for fruit, they also contain vitamin E and more protein than whole wheat. Packed with 18 amino acids—including all eight essential ones—they’ve been used in Chinese medicine for centuries to promote longevity and well-being. Goji berries also contain beta-sitosterol, which may reduce LDL cholesterol and shrink abnormal cells. In the Himalayas, they’re known as “the happy berry” for their mood-boosting effects.
 
Taste: Goji berries have a sweet-tart flavor with subtle herbal, earthy notes and a slightly bitter aftertaste.
