Introductions:
Goji berries are native to Asia, particularly China where they're grown in both the northern and southern regions. Two primary types of goji berry plants are grown today: L. chinense is grown in the south of China and L. barbarum is grown in the north.
Gojis are known in pharmacological studies and referenced as "Lycii fructus," but around the world they go by many names, such as wolfberries or Tibetan goji. Since the early 21st century, interest about goji berries in the U.S. has taken off as their nutrient value has become more known, but in TCM, the whole fruit and its extracts have had numerous implied health effects and uses for centuries. Cultivated in China for more than 2000 years, goji berries have earned the nickname "red diamonds."
Goji berries have been used in traditional Chinese medicine for over 2,000 years. Some legends report that goji berries were eaten by monks in the Himalayan Mountains thousands of years ago and steeped in hot water to help aid meditation and obtain greater health, vitality, longevity, energy and stamina.
Low in calories, fat-free, a good source of fiber and a high-antioxidant food, goji berry benefits include the ability to help you fight disease, effectively manage your weight and experience better digestion. Usually eaten raw, dried, or in liquid or powder form, versatile goji berries contain a wide range of phytonutrients, vitamins and trace minerals, giving them the name "superfood berries" by many health experts.
