Why it's different
Three things worth knowing
- 01
Very small harvest
Each shrub yields a handful. We measure the annual intake in kilograms, not tonnes, and sell in 50 g packs for that reason.
- 02
Dried in shade, always
Sunlight destroys the anthocyanins that make this berry worth having. Shade-drying takes longer and preserves them.

The colour test
Real black goji turns water violet in under a minute. Add a drop of lemon and it goes pink. Dyed imitations do not do this.
About this one
Black goji is not the familiar red goji berry. It grows on low thorned shrubs at the edge of high cold desert, produces very little fruit, and is picked entirely from the wild.
Its party trick is real: drop a few berries into water and the water turns violet within a minute, then shifts toward blue or pink depending on how acidic it is. That colour comes from anthocyanins, the same pigment family found in blueberries and black rice — here at unusually high concentration.
The flavour is mild and faintly sweet, closer to a raisin than the red goji's sharpness. It is bought for what it is rather than how it tastes.
How to use it
- Steep 8–10 berries in warm (not boiling) water and watch the colour bloom.
- Add a squeeze of lemon to shift the infusion from violet to pink.
- Scatter over yoghurt, chia pudding or a fruit salad.
- Use warm rather than boiling water — heat dulls both colour and benefit.
Keeping it
Airtight, cool, completely dark. 12 months. Light is the enemy here more than air.
