In The Past Decade, The Wolf Berry Has Become One Of The Star Children Of The Berry Family.

By Thornie Swathi


Found growing in naturally warm, subtropical regions within both China and Mongolia as well as in Tibet's Himalayas, Goji berries look like small, red raisins but contain perhaps the most nutrients of any single fruit on Earth.

Before becoming popular in Europe and North America, the wolf berry saw traditional use in both East Asian cuisine and medicine. It is a fruit native to southeastern Europe and Asia. They are used to give soups flavor and are added to numerous meat and vegetable dishes. As a medicine, it was commonly used to treat Yin deficiency in ancient China. Goji berry benefits were also known about in Vietnam, Korea, and Japan.

So what makes Goji berries so special? Goji berries contain more beta carotene than carrots, more vitamin C than oranges, more iron and antioxidants than spinach and more protein than whole wheat.

Goji is also a good source of essential fatty acids and boasts high levels of polysaccharides that are thought to stimulate the immune system. There are even investigations into its ability to reduce the incidence of cancer. As well as some impressive nutritional qualities, the most commonly reported benefits are increased energy, better sleep, clearer thinking, weight loss, reduced anxiety and enhanced moods to name but a few.

The Goji berry is also the richest source of carotenoids of all known foods or plants on the planet. This includes beta carotene, which carrots are most commonly known for having. Carotenoids give the berry its bright red pigment, act as an antioxidant, and are a source of Vitamin A.

Truly a food to marvel at, they are relatively small, growing only as long as one to two centimeters, and having a taste that's been described as both sweet and sour. Often used in teas, soups, and rice meals, Goji berries are also sold fresh throughout the temperate regions of China where they grow wild.

Goji berries are well entrenched in traditional Chinese medicine, and rightfully so. They are relatively low in calories and fat, yet rich in vitamins A (beta-carotene) and C. These berries are becoming extremely prized for their high antioxidant content.

Don't keep putting it off, wondering if they really would make a difference for you. The best way to find out is to try it yourself, risk free.
