Goji (wolfberry)
Alternative Name:
Lycii fructus
Goji, also known as wolfberry, have been used as food and therapeutically for over 4,000 years.
These small, red-orange berries are believed to have originated in the arid and semi-arid regions of northwest China. Cultivated for their health benefits, goji berries have been prized in traditional Chinese medicine. They were used to promote liver and kidney health, enhance vision, and boost overall well-being.
The name “goji” is an approximation of the Chinese pronunciation “gǒuqǐ.” These berries have gained popularity worldwide, often marketed as a superfood with various health claims, including antioxidant benefits, as well as supporting immunity and capillary health.
