Dried Goji Berries

Dried goji berries are one of the most well-known superfoods in Asian gastronomy and medicine. They have been used in Chinese medicine for over 2,000 years. The small, elliptical fruits with their impressive bright reddish-orange color and bittersweet taste are particularly recognizable and can be immediately distinguished from other dried fruits.

Goji berries come from the bushy plant Lycium barbarum or Lycium chinense (fam. Solanaceae), also known as Chinese boxthorn or gou qi zi. It is mainly cultivated in China, Mongolia, and Central Asia. In Chinese medicine, they are referred to as a tonic plant, strengthening for the eyes, liver, and for general bodily toning.
