gaga for goji berries

Have you ever tried a Goji berry? They have been used in Asian herbal medicine for over 5,000 years (according to the back of the above package). Apparently, they are one of the most nutrient-rich foods on earth. Goji berries are a vegetarian form of protein, packed with essential amino acids, Vitamin A and Vitamin C. They also have over 20 trace metals including zinc, iron, phosphorus and riboflavin as well as carotenoids, including beta-carotene.

Go Goji berries!

All I can add is that they are really fun to eat atop a smoothie. They’re pinkish-red bits of crunch and they make me feel like Pebbles Flintstone. I can’t eat them without thinking that they are something she would like.

So, if you want to get in touch with your inner cave girl, head over to Whole Foods and pick up a bag.

Let me know how you like them, ok?
