Goji berry, also known as “wolfberry fruit”, is derived from the mature fruit of the Lycium barbarum plant in the Solanaceae family. It is highly nutritious and is known as the “red treasure” from Ningxia, China. It has been hailed as the “fruit of longevity” since ancient times.
So, how should goji berry powder be consumed?
As a processed form of goji berries, goji berry powder not only retains the nutritional components of goji berries but is also convenient to consume. So, should goji berry powder be brewed with boiling water or warm water? There’s quite a bit of knowledge involved here.
Firstly, why do we care about this issue?
The main reason is that different water temperatures can affect the release of nutrients and the taste of goji berry powder. If the water is too hot, it may damage some of the nutrients; whereas warm water can better retain the nutrients and also provide a milder taste.
So, how to do it? I suggest using warm water to prepare the goji berry powder.

Take an appropriate amount of goji berry powder, add it to a cup, then pour in warm water (approximately 60-70 degrees Celsius), stir well, and enjoy. This way, you can retain the nutrients of the goji berry powder while also savoring its unique taste.

In terms of taste, high-quality goji berry powder has a delicate texture, free of impurities, and carries a subtle aroma of goji berries. If it tastes bitter or has an unusual flavor, it may indicate poor quality.
In terms of appearance, good goji berry powder should have a uniform color, either dark red or purple red. If the color appears overly bright or black, it may indicate the addition of pigments or improper storage.
Taste: Goji berry powder should have a natural sweetness with a hint of acidity. If the taste is overly sweet or bitter, it may indicate the addition of sugar or other ingredients.
Storage method: Wolfberry powder should be stored in a sealed container, placed in a cool and dry place, and protected from moisture and direct sunlight. Once opened, it is recommended to consume it as soon as possible to ensure freshness.
