Goji (Wolf) Berries for Vitamin A

[Mingus]

These things are extremely high in Vitamin A - producing carotenoids and other antioxidant phytonutrients. Parrots seem to like their sweetness, and thier tiny little seeds. The resulting parrot droppings are so orange that you know they are benefitting from them. These berries are small, sweet, and sold dried. They come from Asia. I started offering them to my birds years ago when Costco carried a sweetened, flavored variety. I now buy them online from a dried fruit/nut dealer, and it is worth getting organic to minimize the possibility of pesticides. To be extra-careful I boil the berries in water, drain, cool, then freeze. I serve them thawed & cooled with other cooked vegetables (obviously taking them out after an hour or two, so they doing spoil).

I am feeding this berry to Koko too.
