Commonly known as "red diamonds" or "wolfberries," goji berries are the small, red berries produced by the Lycium barbarum plant, a member of the nightshade (Solanaceae) family. These nutrient-dense berries get their signature bright-red hue from their high levels of potent antioxidants. They are also among the healthiest and most delicious superfoods on the planet.
The Health Ranger Store wants you to experience the incredible health-supporting properties of one of the world's most nutritious superfoods. That's why we're bringing you an ultra-clean new lot of Health Ranger Select Organic Goji Berries. Carefully grown and harvested by trusted suppliers in the pristine regions of the Tibetan plateau, our ultra-clean goji berries undergo a natural drying process to preserve their original taste and nutrient content. This means that they contain no preservatives or artificial flavoring and are just as nutritious as fresh organic goji berries.
Health Ranger Select Organic Goji Berries contain no gluten or GMOs and are extensively lab tested for glyphosate, heavy metals and microbiology. Our premium goji berries are also vegan, non-irradiated and certified organic.
NOTE: Almost all goji berries sold on the market are grown in China, so they have to be very carefully sourced. Because many cities and lowland areas in China are extremely polluted, the purity and cleanliness of goji berries varies widely from one production area to another. That's why we've gone to great lengths to secure only goji berries grown at high altitudes like the Tibetan plateau, which is far away from the pollution in cities. This ensures the cleanliness and high quality of our organic goji berries.
