Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: How do red goji berries differ from black goji berries in nutritional applications?
Red Goji Berries (Lycium Barbarum) are particularly rich in Lycium Barbarum Polysaccharides (LBP), carotenoids, and natural fruit sugars, making them suitable for direct snacking, cooking, and general wellness formulas. Black Goji Berries (Lycium Ruthenicum), on the other hand, contain extremely high levels of water-soluble anthocyanins and OPCs, making them specialized for anti-aging, antioxidant teas, and natural color transformation drinks.
Q2: Are your red goji berries treated with sulfur dioxide or artificial preservatives?
No. We enforce a strict non-sulfur policy. Our red goji berries undergo controlled low-temperature air-drying and clean dehydration processes without any sulfur dioxide treatment. The vibrant color comes naturally from high-quality Ningxia raw fruit harvested at peak maturity.
Q3: Do you provide pesticide residue test reports compliant with EU and US FDA regulations?
Yes. Every batch is tested by accredited independent laboratories (such as SGS or Eurofins). We issue batch-specific Certificates of Analysis (COA) confirming pesticide residue levels comply with EU MRL standards and US FDA import guidelines, along with heavy metal and microbiological safety parameters.
Q4: What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ) and lead time for bulk orders?
Our standard wholesale MOQ for bulk 20kg cartons is 100 kg. For OEM private label pouches, the MOQ starts at 1,000 units per artwork design. Standard stock items ship within 7–10 working days, while customized OEM packaging typically requires 15–20 working days. Free sample packages (100g–250g) are available for qualified corporate buyers upon request.
