WHY CHOOSE OUR GOLDENBERRIES?
Wildcrafted Raw Goldenberries are organically-grown in Ecuador. They are not farm-raised and cultivated, like some other varieties available on the market today. These Goldenberries are picked at the peak of freshness, whereas other varieties may be picked when less ripe and therefore appear much lighter in color.
With the sweetness of a raisin and the zing of a tart citrus zest, our Goldenberries are an incredible Superfood addition to your diet!
