Some Delicious Recipes For High Quality Goji Berries
Some say they look like grapes or even grape-tomatoes, and with a slightly bitter taste that most people report is somewhere between cherries and raisins, high quality goji berries have become a versatile food that is being touted as a great nutritional supplement and a botanical medicine that can be served in a variety of different ways.
There are several ways to enjoy these berries in your home. Although they are often used in traditional Chinese tonic soups, there are other ways they can be prepared. Since these berries have been popular in Asian countries for many years, some of the best uses for the Goji berry come from that part of the world including rice conjee, which is a type of rice porridge. Meat and fish are often added for flavoring to this dish and the Goji berries can also be used as a condiment. In addition, there are blended Asian wines that contain these Goji berries and there are even breweries that use these berries as a primary ingredient in their beer.
The Goji berry is just catching on in North American and already there are many healthily recipes popping up in cookbooks and magazines.
For example, a delicious Goji berry smoothie is just the thing on a hot summer day and taking either the powder form of this fruit or even 2 cups of frozen Goji berries is a great health conscious starting point. To really ensure that you get all the benefits from this drink you can also add 1-cup of cranberry juice and 1-cup vanilla hemp milk to your morning smoothie.
How about using these high quality goji berries to make a health orientated candy bar everyone will love? With 1 cup of raw almonds, 2/3 cup of coconut flakes, 2/3 cup of dried cherries, and of course 2/3 cup of Goji berries, you’re on the way to making one of these tasty treats. Put the entire mixture into a food processor or blender and then place them on a baking sheet in the oven for about half an hour.
