Päikesekuivatatud Goji mari on saanud kiirelt suure tähelepanu osaliseks tänu võimsale toiteväärtusele ja antioksüdantsetele omadustele. Goji mari kui ravimtaim kuulub nn. „superviljade“ hulka. Neid imemarju on teadlaste poolt palju uuritud ja ligi 3000 uurimuse põhjal on peamised põhjused, miks peaks teadlaste arvates neid iga päev sööma:

 

 

Seda nimekirja võiks veel pikalt jätkata, kuid lühidalt kokku võttes on goji marjast leitud 18 aminohapet, 21 mineraali, B1, B2, B6, C ja E vitamiine ja palju teisi bioaktiivseid aineid, mis teeb sellest supertoitude tippu kuuluva imemarja.

 

Tähelepanu! Kui te tavaliselt ei tarbi mahetoodetud loodustooteid, siis goji on kindlasti üks toode, mida peaks tarbima mahetootena, sest üle 90% tavagojit tuleb Hiinast ja sealsed tooted võivad sisaldada mürke, kemikaale, raskemetalle ja GMO-d. Seetõttu meie tavalisi goji marju ei paku. Teadmiseks veel, et kõige rohkem väetiste ja kemikaalidega töödeldud loodustooted on viinamarjad (rosinad), kohvioad, kakaooad ja banaanid. Täna on neid tooteid võimalik osta ka mahetoodetena ja oleks mõistlik neid tooteid tarbida mahedalt kasvatatuna, eriti tähtis kui pakute neid ka lastele.

 

Meie mahekasvatatud goji ei ole töödeldud säilitusainetega, ei sisalda mingeid taimekaitsevahendeid ega mürke, tegemist on puhtaimate ja parima kvaliteediga mahekasvatatud supermarjadega. 

 

Goji marja kasutamine:

Goji marju võib lisada putrudele, müslile, jogurtile. Samuti saab neist teed teha, lastes marjadel kuni 5 minutit keema lastud vees tõmmata. Neist võib teha suppe või näksida lihtsalt nii. Soovitav tarbida ca. 20 grammi päevas.

Quality & Provenance

Our Goji berries are grown on a plantation on the banks of the Yellow River, where the rich soil provides all of the water and nutrients needed by the growing goji trees. Around 3000 trees are planted per hectare, and the evergreen shrubs are encouraged to grow lengthways (similarly to a vine) and stand around 1 metre high, which makes it easier to harvest the ripe berries.

Each tree can produce around 1kg of berries, which are harvested between June and November of each year. As the ripe berries are fragile and easily damaged they must be carefully picked by hand, avoiding the sharp thorns of the goji tree. Legend holds that if touched when unripe, the goji berry will oxidise and turn black, and the traditional hand picking method is still favoured over mechanical harvesting today.

The goji berry originates in Asia and has been cultivated by Chinese, Mongolian and Tibetan people for over 5000 years. The small densely branched tree thrives in alkaline soils and can be found today growing wild in mountainous areas throughout Asia and Europe.

The goji tree is a hardy plant and tolerates climatic extremes in its native Himalayan range, from winter lows of – 26°C to summer highs of up to 40°C. Trees begin to produce berries after 2 years of growth, and bloom with small, white trumpet shaped flowers before bearing fruit each autumn

Goji berries are also known as ‘wolf berries’ and the name goji is thought to originate from the Chinese character ‘gou’ meaning dog, or wolf. The main goji growing area in Asia today is Ningxia province, where over 180,000 acres of land are devoted to the cultivation of goji trees for their fruit. In rural parts of China, stands of goji plants can still be found growing wild where local villagers have returned to pick their fruit for hundreds of generations.
