For years, our company Favella has been dedicated to the cultivation of goji berries , a superfood of Asian origin, known for its bright colors and numerous benefits . These small red gems, grown mainly in the Himalayan areas, have come to revolutionize the concept of well-being and nutrition in the Western world.
But what makes goji berries so special? And what are the real benefits they offer to our body? Let's delve into these aspects together.
Goji: An Introduction to the "Fruit of Longevity"
Our goji berries , known scientifically as Lycium Barbarum , belong to the Solanaceae family, the same family as common foods such as tomatoes, potatoes and eggplants. This affinity may seem surprising but it highlights the versatility and nutritional importance of the berries . Traditionally, in Asia, goji is celebrated as the "longevity fruit" or "long life fruit", thanks to its countless health benefits, also supported by traditional Chinese medicine.
Let's explore together the benefits of Goji Berries if included in your everyday diet.
A treasure trove of antioxidants
Goji berries are exceptionally rich in antioxidants , substances that play a crucial role in the fight against free radicals. These are unstable molecules that can accelerate the aging process and contribute to the development of multiple diseases. Supplementing your diet with goji therefore means protecting the body from the harmful action of free radicals , while promoting young and luminous skin.
Essential nutrients at your fingertips
In addition to their antioxidant power, goji berries offer an abundance of vitamins, including those of groups A, B and C , essential for strengthening the immune system. But it does not end there: these berries also contain a rich variety of mineral salts and fiber, essential for the general well-being of the body and to maintain proper digestive function .
Carotenoids and Zeaxanthin: Allies of Vision and Beyond
Particularly noteworthy is the presence of carotenoids and zeaxanthin dipalmitate . These components not only help protect eyesight, but also have anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties , demonstrated by in vitro studies. The absence of side effects and the wealth of benefits make goji berries a real panacea for health.
