Goji Berries
Why eat them: Like acai berries, these fruit have been raved about so much by health experts, they feel like a health food classic that has been around for decades.
Goji berries are mostly found in their dried form and look similar to red raisins. ‘In Traditional Chinese medicine, they are used to enhance immune-system function, improve eyesight, protect the liver, improve circulation, and promote longevity. Goji berries are a rich source of zeaxanthin, a carotenoid beneficial for retinal health, and vitamin C,’ says nutritionist Esther Blum.
How: To add a punch to your morning oatmeal or yogurt, rehydrate the goji berries by soaking them in water for one minute before adding them to your breakfast. You can also buy them as juice.
Goji berries are available from all leading health food stores.
