Our goldenberries are sourced from the pristine Andes region of Peru. Each berry is carefully selected, washed, disinfected, air-dried, and rigorously tested for heavy metals to ensure the highest quality and purity. Only the best berries, with a bright orange hue, are selected, as darker berries may indicate lower quality.
