A New Nutritional Snack Food
Before you reach for a bag of berries, though, keep in mind that goji berries may not be great snacks for everyone. As much as ancient mention has the fruit as being able to boost vision and the immune system, as well as protect the liver and provide some aphrodisiac effects, none of these claims have been supported by Western medicine researchers. Also, people taking medicine containing Warfarin shouldn’t eat goji berries, as the fruit can have an anti-coagulant effect on its own.
That’s not to say the goji berry isn’t a great thing. Goji berries are nutritional and contain 68% of the daily recommended dose of carbohydrates a person needs in a 100 gram serving. Goji berries also pack in 12% of protein. There have been a number of studies involving elderly people in which they were given goji berries for at least three weeks. Ninety five percent of them experienced higher energy levels, improved sleep and appetite. It was also found that their T cell transformation functions tripled.
It’ll be tough to find goji berries in their raw form outside their growing regions. Most goji berries sold today are the dried versions of the fruit. The berries can be eaten as-is and there isn’t a need for rehydration. Mixed in a trail blend or even eaten on their own, goji berries are a new, nutritional choice as a snack. When crushed into a juice blend, goji berries add a lot of flavor to a drink and help hydrate your body. The color of the red fruit makes any drink blend a pretty one, too. And even if they aren’t a miracle cure, the tiny berries are tasty enough that they won’t be going out of style soon.
