Harvesting

Goji Berries are typically grown in the remote valleys of the Himalayan region, where the soil and climate provide the perfect conditions for their cultivation. These nutrient-rich berries are harvested in the late summer months, usually from July to September, when they are at their peak ripeness and bursting with flavour. The berries are carefully handpicked to ensure only the finest quality fruits are selected. They are then naturally air-dried to preserve their vibrant red colour and nutrient content. This gentle drying process helps to concentrate the natural sweetness of the berries, resulting in a chewy texture and a rich, fruity flavour. Goji berries are renowned for their high levels of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. They are a rich source of vitamin C, vitamin A, iron, and fibre, making them a popular choice.

The organic nature of Organic Dried Goji Berries means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

Packaging & Storage

You’ll receive your Organic Dried Goji Berries in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.
