They are part of the nightshade family and are related to tomatillos, tomatoes, and eggplants. They have a paper husk on the outside called a calyx.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Golden berries are a bit smaller than cherry tomatoes. Their taste is sweet, tart, and tropical. They taste similar to pineapples and mangos. You can eat golden berries as fresh fruit, snacks, salads, fruit juice, sauces, dried fruits, or jams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/general-health\/golden-berries-benefits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Golden b<\/a>erries grow all around the world in warm climates. They are originally from South America. They grow in high altitudes and thrive in the Andes and cloud forests of Chile, Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil, and Peru. However, they have been exported around the world in a range of altitudes and climates. You can find them in California and Hawaii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Golden berries are excellent sources of the following nutrients:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/general-health\/vitamin-a-for-eyes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vitamin A<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/general-health\/vitamin-c-benefits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vitamin C<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dietary fiber (an important carbohydrate for health)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Potassium<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Manganese<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Carotenoids<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Polyphenols<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Flavonoids<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Phenolic compounds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Other phytonutrients<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-ways-golden-berries-can-help-manage-type-2-diabetes\">5 ways golden berries can help manage type 2 diabetes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-they-are-low-in-sugar\">1. They are low in sugar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Golden berries are low in added sugar and glycemic load. They are also low in calories. On the glycemic index (a rating of foods\u2019 effects on sugar absorption and blood glucose levels), they are rated at 35. This is considered to be a low glycemic index.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that they do not quickly boost your blood sugar levels and can lower insulin resistance by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/diabetes-health\/how-to-keep-blood-sugar-stable\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">preventing blood sugar spikes<\/a>. This helps to maintain proper <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/diabetes-health\/insulin-sensitivity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">insulin sensitivity<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although you may want to limit your fruit sugar consumption, golden berries may be a good fruit choice for glucose regulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These qualities make golden berries great fruits to eat for weight loss and to prevent obesity. They are also a great choice for patients with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/diabetes-health\/type-2-diabetes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">type 2 diabetes<\/a>. The antioxidant properties of golden berries also help them to do the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Improve heart health and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/general-health\/how-to-prevent-heart-disease\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">prevent heart disease<\/a> and cardiovascular disease (such as high blood pressure)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Improve liver health<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/general-health\/how-to-boost-immune-system\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Boost the immune system<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Improve kidney health<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Prevent obesity<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Help with weight loss<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Manage diabetes risk<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Diabetes prevention (reducing chances of developing diabetes)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-they-may-boost-immunity\">2. They may boost immunity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This quality is particularly important for people with diabetes, since they have lowered immune function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are no human studies on golden berries\u2019 effects on the immune system. However, there are <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/27920947\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">test-tube studies<\/a> that show several benefits.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These studies show that golden berries can help regulate your immune system through your cells. Golden berries have polyphenols. These block the release of inflammatory immune markers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Golden berries are also a good source of vitamin C. Although we often think of citrus fruits containing vitamin C, golden berries have it, too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, one cup of golden berries contains 15.4 milligrams of vitamin C. This is 21 percent of the recommended daily intake for women and 17 percent for men. This is important because of vitamin C\u2019s key role in having a healthy immune response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-they-re-anti-inflammatory\">3. They\u2019re anti-inflammatory<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are compounds called withanolides in golden berries, and these may have anti-inflammatory effects on your body.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/26221001\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">study<\/a> looked at the husk of golden berries and found that it lowered inflammation in mice. These mice also had lower levels of inflammatory markers in their tissues after having golden berry husk extract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, there are no studies like this in humans yet. But there are <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/27920947\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">test-tube studies<\/a> using human cells.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These show that golden berries may have promising effects against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/general-health\/chronic-inflammation-symptoms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">chronic inflammation<\/a>. This is important for diabetics because diabetes does involve the inflammatory process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-they-contain-antioxidants\">4. They contain antioxidants<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Free radicals are compounds that can contribute to aging and chronic disease. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/general-health\/antioxidants-important-for-aging\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Antioxidants<\/a> such as anthocyanins protect against and fix the damage that free radicals have caused. Golden berries contain 34 unique compounds that can boost your health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/30175092\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">study<\/a> found that golden berry extracts can increase the life of cells. They can also prevent the formation of free radicals, which cause oxidative stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t underestimate their skin! The skin of golden berries has almost <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/29287402\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">three times<\/a> as many antioxidants as the insides. Ripe golden berries will be at their peak concentration of antioxidants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-enhances-eye-health\">5. Enhances eye health<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Golden berries contain several carotenoids, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/general-health\/lutein-for-eyes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lutein<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/beta-carotene-foods\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">beta carotene<\/a>. Lutein has <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/30231532\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">preventative effects<\/a> on eye health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carotenoids such as lutein, zeaxanthin, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/lycopene-benefits-for-men\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lycopene<\/a> can protect against vision loss from diabetes. This is important because eye health is vulnerable to the effects of diabetes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s possible that before you read this diabetes article, you had never even heard of golden berries before! But I\u2019m sure you\u2019re now interested in at least trying them out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When looking for natural ways to manage type 2 diabetes, golden berries can help you boost your antioxidant intake, enhance your visual health, fight inflammation, or boost your immune system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In general, berries are known for their antioxidant and disease-fighting effects.&nbsp; We often talk about blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries.
