Origin and Producer
Goji belongs to the nightshade family, which also includes tomato, potato, aubergine, belladonna, chilli pepper, and tobacco.
tropextrakt obtains the superfruit directly from its native country, the faraway China. Nowhere else in the world the berries develop such fine aromas. We included goji in our catalogue, more than 10 years ago. Since then, we keep a close relationship with our supplier, checking if the European quality standards and regulations are up-to-date. For example:
Regulation (EC) No 396/2005: maximum residue levels of pesticides in or on food and feed of plant and animal origin
Regulation (EC) No 178/2002: laying down the general principles and requirements of food law
Regulation (EC) No 2018/848 on organic production and labelling of organic products
