Goji Berries
Hi All,
This may be old news but thought I should pass on the info. Have spoken to two goji berry companies who say that all tibetan goji berry supplies at the moment are NOT ORGANIC...even if they state they are! :o
Turns out the goji berries have been found to be covered in 2 pesticides due to spraying happening nearby in a local wood! These findings were found by EU testing so companies are now waiting on the new harvest which is happening in around 2 months.
The first company I spoke to had actually been waiting to confirm their goji's were organic a couple of months ago and then told us this today. Nice of them to be so honest!
Dunno if any of this applies to Chinese wolfberries???

Hi Gail
That's interesting. I get my gojis from raw living and I can't remember whether they are organic or not? I think DYW does organic ones?

I think I'll email both RL & DYW to see if they know anything about the pesticide residue thing that's going on and see what they say about their products ;)

Good plan, let me know how you get on. My goji-intake has seriously sky-rocketed of late so it'd be good to know the best source. Will check out my online ebay woman to see if hers are organic.

Ani Phyo would be good, given your ingredients. I like Ani Phyo's Raw Kitchen. Her stuff is very sweet and heavy, though, IMHO.
