Goji Berries

Goji berries, also known as wolfberries, are natives of China, and are only available in this country in their dried form. They are considered one of the richest foods in antioxidants available, boasting several times more antioxidants than a blueberry. They are also high in fiber and fatty acids.  They taste like a mix between a cranberry and a cherry; the ones we use in the kitchen are sweetened with pomegranate juice. Legend has it that Chinese master Li Qing Yuen lived to 252 years of age thanks to a daily dose of Goji berries! We're not sure that we believe it, but we do think they make a great addition to salads.
