Goji berries (Lycium barbarum) have been eaten for over 2,000 years in Chinese and Tibetan tradition. Grown at high altitude (over 3,000 m), with intense sunshine, wide day-night temperature swings, and mineral-rich volcanic soil, Tibetan berries accumulate higher concentrations of polyphenols, carotenoids and polysaccharides than berries grown at lower altitude — a natural defence response to environmental stress that benefits the consumer directly through superior nutritional quality. The 1 kg format offers the best price per kilogram while remaining suited to family-sized regular consumption.

LBP polysaccharides are the most distinctive compounds in goji berries, studied for their role in supporting the body’s natural defences. Zeaxanthin and lutein support healthy eyes by protecting the retina from oxidative stress. Beta-carotene is a vitamin A precursor, essential for vision, skin and immune function. Iron contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to normal red blood cell formation. Zinc supports the immune system and protects cells from oxidative stress. The 18 amino acids provide high-quality plant protein.

Recommended dose: 20–30 g a day. Enjoy dried as a snack, added to morning cereal, mixed into yoghurt, blended into a smoothie, scattered over a salad, or used in cooking (tagines, rice, soups). Rehydrated for a few minutes in warm water, they regain a plump texture and release more flavour — a great substitute for raisins in baking. Open only one bag at a time to keep the second fresh; store in a cool, dry place away from light and moisture in an airtight container. Well stored, they keep their properties for 12–18 months; unopened bags can be refrigerated for extended storage.

Do not exceed 30 g per day. People on anticoagulant treatment should consult a healthcare professional before regular consumption. People allergic to nightshades (tomatoes, peppers, aubergines) should exercise caution. Pregnant women should seek medical advice first. This product is not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet.

How long does a 1 kg bag last?

At 25 g a day, a 1 kg bag lasts about 40 days — a little over a month.

Is the 1 kg format more economical than 500 g?

Yes, it offers a better price per kilogram than buying individual 500 g bags — ideal for regular consumers wanting to optimise their budget.

Are these Tibetan goji berries organic certified?

This particular 1 kg batch is not organic certified, although the berries are harvested naturally at altitude. We also stock organic-certified goji references in-store and online.
