Kate Middleton's diet is often picked apart by fans of the Royal family, who are keen to make similar healthy choices. The Princess of Wales has often been quite open about her love of nutritious superfoods. HELLO Magazine previously examined the future Queen's diet choices and pointed out one staple snack that the mum-of-three loves. According to reports, she tends to avoid processed sweets, opting instead for healthy alternatives like raw fruit and vegetables, such as goji berries.
The fruit, native to China, can be eaten in multiple ways - including raw, dried or cooked. Some people choose to blend the powerful superfood up into smoothies and combine them with other tasty fruits and vegetables. You can pick up a packet of dried goji berries in Asda for just £1.50. The 100g pack contains three servings, which roughly works out to 53p per 33g portion.
These tasty berries are worth considering if you're deep into your January health kick and are tired of the same basic fruits available in the supermarket. Goji berries, which have a distinct sweet and sour flavour, are rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids.
Some say they’re believed to slow signs of ageing and maintain good eye health. A 2021 study suggested eating goji berries regularly during middle age may reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration. Goji berries are also brimming with antioxidant compounds that combat oxidative stress. These compounds essentially help to protect skin cells from damage and signs of ageing, improving the skin's appearance.
