What to know about goji berry
Goji berries are marketed as a clean superfood, but they are one of the more trigger-dense foods in this database. Goji is a nightshade, a Lycium species in the Solanaceae family alongside tomato, pepper and eggplant, and it grades at the top of the nightshade scale here, which makes it a frequent blind spot for people otherwise avoiding nightshades. It also grades high FODMAP with excess fructose, high in salicylates, high in lectins and high for sulfites in the dried form, with moderate ratings for histamine, histamine liberation and nickel. Separately from any of that, goji has a documented interaction with the blood thinner warfarin.
Watch for
- Goji is a nightshade (Lycium barbarum, Solanaceae) and grades at the high end for it, yet it is almost never labelled as one, so it slips into smoothies and trail mixes during nightshade eliminations
- Published case reports describe a probable interaction with warfarin, with raised INR and bleeding after goji juice, tea or wine.If you take warfarin, raise goji with your prescriber before adding it, and do not treat it as an ordinary berry
- Dried goji grades high for sulfites, which are commonly used to hold the red colour in dried fruit.That is a separate trigger from the berry itself and it hits sulfite-sensitive people and asthmatics first
- High FODMAP with excess fructose and moderate polyols, because drying concentrates the sugars: a small handful carries the load of a much larger amount of fresh fruit
- High in salicylates and high in lectins, with histamine, histamine liberation and nickel all in the moderate band, so it stacks with other foods rather than acting alone
