Most Goji berries are not Himalayan, but home grown. I doubt they have the same nutritional value when grown in rows in overused depleted soils pressed into maximum production and maximum profits. They are known also as wolfberry and can be found in that most productive pieces of land called hedgerows. Each bush would have a handful of them and I bet they would then equal the nutritional value of the Himalayan berry. I have eaten them dried out of curiosity, found them tasty, but I don't buy them anymore. I plan to find some wolfberry bushes and let them grow on the permaculture "farm" I am dreaming up, along with other wild foods.

There are cheap super foods. Grow your own wheatgrass for pennies. Organic sprouts of any kind, cost next to nothing to grow yourself and pack a wallop of nutrtion. But if you go to a store to buy them they will charge a premium. A tax on cluelessness I call it.

My rant: Celtic Salt. Popular. Expensive. Comes from evaporated pure sea water. Where did they find that "pure" water? Do they have a time machine and pump it from some oceans before we started dumping all the industrial crap in? Alternative: Redmond Real Salt (Ancient All Natural Sea Salt). MUCH CHEAPER!
Thanks for this!
