Our Goji Berries are purchased from small farmers in China's Ningxia Province who use only Organic friendly methods to deter pest's. We pay close attention to the Berries we purchase. First requesting laboratory results from the growers and second, having them tested yet again here in the USA to insure their quality and absence of harmful chemicals or pestcides. All of our berries also go through FDA and USDA testing every time we import. ~Shigatse's Integrity~  We have never made the claim of selling the so-called "Tibetan Goji Berry". Rather than purchasing from large commercial manufaturers, brokers and co-op's, our Berries are selected from the smallest farmers we can find who grow the product to sustain their familes. We have never fabricated false claims such as their origin, people living to a million years old or being cured from a volotile disease over night in order to justify a less than attractive price. Over the past 4 years, we have spent many exhausting hours/days/weeks trying to educate people on things such as >Wolfberry? >Goji Berry? >Tibet? >China? >Is one better than the other?, and to dispell the myths surrounding the various methods of marketing. Our honesty, integrity, quality, service and pricing has earned us coast to coast recognition. We look forward to offering this kind of honesty and service to the end consumer for many years to come.   GOJI BERRY PROFILE Goji Berries are a rich source of vitamin C, containing 500 times more vitamin C per ounce than oranges. They are also an  excellent source of vitamin A, containing more carotenoids than any other food tested by man. They contain vitamins B1, B2, B6, E and are also a good source of both selenium and germanium. These Berries are a renowned natural source of potent antioxidants, ranking higher on the orac scale than any other berry and standing side by side with raw cacao. Goji Berries contain 21 amino acids, 21 trace minerals, 29 different fatty acids and a high level of active polysaccharides not found in any other plant on earth. Goji Berries are also a great source of complete protein (15% by weight).   HEALTH BENEFITS In Asia, Goji Berries are commonly used to strengthen the immune system, improve white blood cell count, and may stimulate release of rejuvenative human growth hormones by the pituitary gland. These amazing Berries have been traditionally used for strength building, adding longevity, regulating blood sugar and have been linked to sexual potency, improved sleep and better vision. They have also been used in Chinese medicine for their anti-cancer  properties. The Goji Berry is without a doubt one of the most nutritionally dense, medicinal foods on earth and a true “SUPER FOOD”. A therapeutic dose of Goji Berries would be 1 small handful or about 15 grams per day.   DISCLAIMER Goji Berries should not take the place of current medications prescribed by a Physician. All of the above claims have been supported by extensive scientific research, but have not been approved for labeling by the United States FDA.   For some very good (honest) additional information, please see Wolfberry or Goji Berry at Wikipedia!!   We are now offering our Yogurt Covered Goji Berries for a limited time at more than 50% off our retail price to eBay customers only. SEE OUR OTHER eBay SALE FOR THIS OFFER!!!!!   For more information on our company please visit us at www.shigatsevalleyorganics.com   We would like to extend our appreciation to all of our customers for your continued support, for all the efforts you made in bringing our products into your local stores and for making Shigatse Valley Organics one of the most recognized brands of Goji Berries in the USA.

FREE SHIPPING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   WARNING!!!!! PLEASE UNDERSTAND WHAT INTEGRITY AND HONESTY IS IN THE GOJI BERRY BUSINESS. SHIGATSE HAS BEEN IN THE GOJI BERRY (ONLY) BUSINESS FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS. WE SELL NO OTHER PRODUCTS! WE HAVE REPRESENTITIVES/AFFILIATES IN ASIA 3 TIMES PER YEAR. WE ARE ALSO IN CONSTANT COMMUNICATION WITH THE NOP (NATIONAL ORGANIC PROGRAM) HERE IN THE USA. THEY CLAIM THAT THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A "USDA" ORGANIC CERTIFICATE ISSUED FOR GOJI BERRIES IN THIS COUNTRY......EVER!! BEWARE OF THE ORGANIC CLAIMS!! THIS ONLY DEMONSTRATES DISHONESTY, LEAVING THE CONSUMER WITH NO HONEST INFORMATION ON WHAT THEY ARE ACTUALLY GETTING. ALSO, PLEASE BE CAUTIOUS WHEN PURCHASING GOJI BERRIES THAT ARE PACKAGED IN CHINESE BAGS. THESE BERRIES ARE PURCHASED IN ASIAN MARKETS (CHINA TOWNS) AND USUALLY HAVE A WARNING ON THE BAG THAT SAY'S "THIS PRODUCT MUST BE BOILED BEFORE CONSUMING". THESE BERRIES ARE THE EQUVILENT OF CHUNK LIGHT TUNA IN COMPARISON TO SOLID WHITE ALBACORE. THEY ARE OFTEN COLLECTED FROM MANY COOPERATIVES AND PACKAGED FOR VERY LOW PRICING TO THE ASIAN COMMUNITIES WITHIN THE USA. I LIVE IN SAN FRANCISCO WITH THE LARGEST CHINA TOWN IN THE USA AND I CAN BUY THESE ALL DAY LONG. WITHIN THESE MARKETS, THE PRIME BERRIES ARE ALWAYS KEPT IN LARGE JARS AND SOLD FOR EXTREMELY HIGH PRICES. THE CHINESE PEOPLE THAT PURCHASE THEM ALMOST ALWAYS PURCHASE VERY SMALL AMOUNTS OF THESE PRIME BERRIES AS THEY USE THEM FOR MEDICINAL PURPOSES LIKE MANY OTHER HERBS. LAST BUT NOT LEAST, STAY AWAY FROM VERY LARGE BERRIES. LIKE ANY OVERSIZED FRUIT, THESE BERRIES HAVE BEEN GROWN WITH MANY FERTILIZERS TO GET THEM TO THIS SIZE. THIS ALSO INCREASES THE PRODUCTION OF THE PLANT/HARVEST AND MEANS MORE MONEY RATHER THAN A CHEMICAL FREE PRODUCT. GOJI BERRIES ARE TRADITIONALY NO BIGGER THAN A RAISIN WHEN GROWN WITHOUT THESE FERTILIZERS. What's good for me, should also be good for you and I eat the berries I sell......daily!  Sincerely, Douglas M. President/CEO, Shigatse Valley Inc.                Place a Bid!
