Goji berries are one of the most incredible ultimate superfoods I know. I have been creatively experimenting on how to incorporate them into my life on a daily basis. Here is a recipe I have been working on for a few weeks:
Chipotle, Hemp, Goji Dressing and Dip
1/2 cup goji berries (soaked in just enough water to cover 20 minutes-2 hours)
2t chopped garlic
1/3 cup hemp seeds
1/2 chipolte pepper (soaked for 2-3 hours)
1T lemon juice
pinch of sea salt
chopped, fresh cilantro or basil for garnish
Empty the soaking water and goji berries in the blender with the hemp seeds, salt, lemon juice, chipolte pepper (careful here, all chipolte peppers are not created equal in spiciness. Be sure to remove seeds if you want to curb the bite of the spice.) Blend until a thick, creamy sauce emerges and enjoy with vegetable crudite, over shaved fennel or Swiss Chard or your favorite salad greens.
Goji berries are one food that has been directly linked to improving liver function, eyesight and is known to boost sperm production among men.
Goji berry detoxifies the body in an entirely natural way. Did you know that Gojis contain essential acids, dietary minerals, vitamins, monosaccharides, polyscharrides, fatty acids, linoleic acids, alpha-linoleic acids, phytosterols, beta-sitoterol, carotenoids, zeaxanthin, beta-carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin, xanthopyll, lycopene, cryptoxanthin along with calcium, potassium, zinc, iron, riboflavin, Vitamin C as well as a multitude of other natural ingredients?
After centuries of use in China, Goji berries have proven to strengthen the immune system and stimulate the release of rejuvenating human growth hormone by the pituitary gland. Goji berries have been related as overall strength building. They increase longevity and are linked to sexual potency
