An Easy Alternative to Goji Berry Green Tea

October 23, 2008 by Kimberly 

Goji Berries

The newest craze in healthy food is the Goji Berry…

Goji berries are more scientifically known as Wolfberries or Western Snowberries. (It’s a long story that I won’t cover here as to why they are referred to as Goji now…LOL…Check it out on Wikipedia.)

Being that Dried Goji Berries are full of nutrients, powerful antioxidants, and 4 Polysaccharides (complex carbohydrates), they are very healthy…

However, since green tea is so very healthy and a present health food craze too, tea companies have combined the two into Goji Berry Green Tea, which is often very expensive.

Green Tea Goji Berry

It’s frustrating when you want to take part in something healthy, and it’s just too expensive to do…

I have found a fabulous alternative…

Green tea, itself, is relatively inexpensive to purchase, so get your favorite green tea.

Brew a pot of it with dried goji berries that you can purchase at your local grocery store.

Here in Niagara Falls, I got organic dried goji berries in a 120 g container for $8.99 at the A&P.

They plump up nicely in the hot tea, and you can eat them as you have your tea too!

They are delicious and give the tea a nice flavor and color.

Try it, it’s inexpensive, tastes fabulous and is super healthy! A great alternative!

Goji berries, sometimes called Wolfberries, are perhaps the most nutritionally-rich fruit on the planet. Goji berries contain 18 kinds of amino acids (six times higher than bee pollen) and contain all 8 essential amino acids (such as isoleucine and tryptophan). Goji berries contain up to 21 trace minerals (the main ones being zinc, iron, copper, calcium, germanium, selenium, and phosphorus). Goji berries are the richest source of carotenoids, including beta-carotene (more beta carotene than carrots), of all known foods or plants on earth! They contain 500 times the amount of vitamin C, by weight, than oranges making them second only to camu camu berries as the richest vitamin C source on earth. Goji berries also contain vitamins B1, B2, B6, and vitamin E. Goji berries have been traditionally regarded as a longevity, strength-building, and sexual potency food of the highest order. In several study groups with elderly people the berry was given once a day for 3 weeks, many beneficial results were experienced and 67% of the patients T cell transformation functions tripled and the activity of the patients white cell interleukin-2 doubled. In addition, the results showed that all the patients spirit and optimism increased significantly, appetite improved in 95% of the patients, 95% of the patients slept better, and 35% of the patients partially recovered their sexual function.
