Dried Goji Berries
Goji berries are a nutrient-dense dried fruit, providing carotenoids (especially zeaxanthin), vitamin C, and fiber. They may interact with warfarin and other anticoagulants, and concentrated extracts have caused isolated allergic reactions.
What it is

Whole-food snack and ingredient in trail mixes, teas, and granolas.
Why it's flagged
