We’ve all heard it a million times – Goji Berries are a SUPER Food!

We see Goji berries popping up in more and more places, and we know they’re great for us, right?

But what about them is good for us?

They contain a lot of vitamin C, among other health benefits.

How have they been used throughout history?

They are native to Tibet and Inner Mongolia, these orange-red tangy berries have been used by Chinese herbalists for centuries to treat visual ailments and poor circulation and to help boost the immune system.

Scientific research has yet to support such claims, but we do know Goji berries are rich in plant-based antioxidants and compounds.

If you want a easy and delicious way to try Goji berries at a reasonable price, try these Brookside Dark Chocolate Goji berries. Dark chocolate is good for you, we hear it all the time. Here you get the best of both worlds!

MM TIP: As a mother who has a “picky eater” in the house I have to say this is a great way to get kids to try something new, that’s good for them. The size isn’t intimidating, they’re a little smaller than grapes. Most kids like chocolate, AND there’s a reasonable amount of chocolate on each Goji berry.

That means your kids are getting a little chocolate on their berry, instead of a little berry on their chocolate. 🙂
