GOJI BERRY – EVERYTHING IS GORGEOUS, THE FLOWERS, THE FRUIT AND THE LEAF SHOOTS CAN BE EATEN, WHAT IS NOT TO LOVE! ALSO SAID TO FIGHT AGING, HELP CONTROL BLOOD SUGAR!

Goji berries, also known as wolfberries in China, are from the Lycium chinense plant. While they’re widely appreciated for their health benefits in traditional Chinese cooking, they’re also a beautiful addition to the garden with their vibrant flowers and fruit.

As a food, dried goji berries are typically cooked before eating. They’re commonly added to rice congee, almond jelly, and tonic soups with chicken or pork, vegetables, and herbs like wild yam. The berries can also be steeped for herbal tea, often combined with chrysanthemum flowers, red jujubes, or regular tea, and pre-packaged goji teas are widely available. Many recipes using goji berries can be found online.

Goji berries are also used to make various wines, known as g?uq? ji?, some of which blend goji with grape wine. Young wolfberry shoots and leaves are harvested commercially as a leafy vegetable.

Rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, goji berries are linked to numerous health benefits, including better blood sugar control, support for weight management, anti-aging properties, and cancer prevention.
