Goji Berries: Nature's Vine-Grown Vitamins
Summary
For centuries, the vibrant red goji berries have been cherished by the people of Tibet and Mongolia for their healing properties. Known as the "happy berry," there's even a two-week festival dedicated to them, with local folklore suggesting that eating goji berries in the morning brings smiles all day.
However, the admiration for goji berries extends beyond these regions. Used as a tonic in Chinese medicine for hundreds of years, they were celebrated as far back as the Tang dynasty. Despite their recent introduction to the Western world, goji berries have already made an impact. But what makes them so special?
What Are Goji Berries?
Goji berries, or Lycium Barbarum, are part of the Solanaceae family, which includes plants like potatoes and tomatoes. Although there are around eighty types of lycium berries, the Tibetan goji berry is unique. It's important not to confuse it with the Chinese Wolfberry, a distant relative often used for different medicinal purposes.
These berries grow on green-leafed vines, producing a bright red fruit resembling a raisin. Due to their delicate nature, the berries are harvested by gently shaking them from the vines and then sun-dried. Their taste is a delightful mix of raisin and cranberry, and they are known by several names, including gouqi and gou qi zi.
Why Are Goji Berries So Potent?
Goji berries are packed with nutrients, containing 18 amino acids and vitamins B1, B2, B6, C, and E. They have more beta carotene than carrots and are among the richest sources of vitamin C, surpassed only by the Australian billygoat plum and South American camu camu. Additionally, they provide essential minerals like zinc, iron, calcium, phosphorus, selenium, and germanium, making them a powerhouse of antioxidants.
These remarkable properties make the Tibetan goji berry one of the world's most intriguing fruits. As their popularity grows globally, our understanding of goji berries continues to expand. Until then, treat yourself to some delicious goji berries and enjoy their benefits!
