Goji berries provide 28.8 mg of zeaxanthin per 28 gram serving.

I have been getting a small handful a day for a couple years, now.

It helps your immune cells.

The “Take Charge Of Your Health” Ping List

This high volume ping list is for health articles and studies which describe something you or your doctor, when informed, may be able to immediately implement for your benefit.

Email me to get on either the “Common/Top Issues” (20 - 25% fewer pings) or “Everything” list.

CM, Thanks!

Goji berries. Be aware that Goji berries from China may have high levels of heavy metals and pestacides. I think that there are some U.S. Goji plantations and sources available.

Other food sorces of zeaxanthin:

Snip..."Zeaxanthin is found naturally in a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables. Dark, leafy green veggies are especially rich in zeaxanthin. Other sources include:

persimmons
tangerines
corn
egg yolks

Scientific sources typically list zeaxanthin- and lutein-containing foods in one category, not separately. This may be because of how they function together and that lutein can be converted into meso-zeaxanthin.

Other foods rich in zeaxanthin and lutein (per 100 grams) are:

spinach, raw: 12.2 milligrams (mg)
pistachios, raw: 2.9 mg v green peas, raw: 2.5 mg
romaine lettuce, raw: 2.3 mg
summer squash, boiled: 2.3 mg
Brussels sprouts, boiled: 1.3 mg
broccoli, raw: 1.4 mg
pumpkin, boiled: 1.0 mg
asparagus, boiled: 0.8 mgTrusted Source
carrots, raw: 0.3 mg

You may be able to consume 5 to 10 mg of zeaxanthin and lutein combined through your diet alone by eating a variety of whole foods, including:

orange bell pepper
corn
eggs
