Frequently asked questions

Which intolerances does goji affect?

Goji is notable for oxalates, salicylate, sucrose, histamine, tyramine, FODMAPs and oligosaccharides. Clear on lactose, sorbitol, fructose, nickel and gluten.

Does goji contain oxalates?

Yes — goji is high in oxalates. Goji berries are high in oxalate and eaten dried, which means concentrated - and they are marketed as a daily addition to porridge and smoothies rather than as an occasional fruit. Daily and dried is the combination that matters on an axis that accumulates.

Does goji contain salicylate?

Goji contains moderate levels of salicylate. Goji berries are sold dried, which is why their salicylate lands here rather than with fresh berries. They are eaten by the spoonful as a topping, so the portion stays small if it stays deliberate.

Does goji contain sucrose?

Goji contains moderate levels of sucrose. Goji berries are sold dried, which concentrates their sugars several times over. A small handful is the usual portion and already a real dose.

Does goji contain histamine?

Goji contains only low levels of histamine. A goji berry starts from a low-histamine fresh fruit, and drying concentrates rather than creates: the water leaves and everything else stays. Sun-dried fruit has had more warm hours than kiln-dried, which is the variable no label records. Amounts vary by brand and recipe, so always check the label of the exact product.
