Goji Berries
Wolfberry -commercially called goji berry - is the common name for the fruit of two very closely related species: Lycium barbarum (pinyin: Ningxia gouqi) and L. chinense (pinyin: gouqi), two species of boxthorn in the family Solanaceae (which also includes the potato, tomato, aubergine, deadly nightshade, chili pepper, and tobacco). It is native to southeastern Europe and Asia. It is also known as Chinese wolfberry, goji berry, mede berry, barbary matrimony vine, bocksdorn, Duke of Argyll's tea tree, Murali (in India), red medlar or matrimony vine. Unrelated to the plant's geographic origin, the names Tibetan goji and Himalayan goji are in common use in the health food market for products from this plant. Goji Berries are reported to contain 18 Amino acids (six times higher than bee pollen), more Beta Carotene than carrots, more Iron than spinach, and 21 Trace Minerals. Goji Berries also contain Vitamin B1, B2, B6, and Vitamin E (rarely found in fruits). Goji berries are 13% protein! The Goji Berry also contains extremely high levels of antioxidants. It is possibly the highest antioxidant food on earth.
