Renowned in Asia as a highly nutritious food, Goji Berries have been used in traditional Chinese medicine for about 1,900 years. Their undocumented legend, however, is considerably older, as wolfberries are often linked in Chinese lore to Shen Nung, China’s legendary First Emperor, mythical father of agriculture, and herbalist who lived circa 2,800 BC. Since the early 21st century in the United States and other such developed countries, there has been rapidly growing recognition of wolfberries for their nutrient richness and antioxidant qualities, leading to a profusion of consumer products. Such rapid commercial development extends from wolfberry having a high ranking among “super fruits” expected to be part of a multi-billion dollar market by 2011.

The goji berry has been making waves these days in the health food and news circles. People are talking about the possible health benefits of the little red fruit and are marveling at how well kept a secret goji berries have been for the past… Oh, few centuries? That’s right. The goji berry isn’t new by any means. In fact, mention of this little fruit packed with nutrition has been found as far back as the 7th century. Those most familiar with the goji berry are people who live in Asia and the berry was used for years in Chinese medicine. The benefits the fruit is said to have include improved vision and liver functioning, as well as being able to boost the immune system. Some speak of the goji berry as having aphrodisiac powers and others mention cancer-fighting properties.

Nutritionally, goji berries are a great choice, packing plenty of carbohydrates and protein which make it a fantastic snack food. As a juice, more of the vitamins remain intact and the goji berry is certainly a healthy choice as a drink. Dried, the fruit can be added to meals or sprinkled on dishes for a splash of colored. Goji berries can also be enjoyed raw. The taste is nice, somewhere between a cross of cranberry and raisin. Not too tart; not too sweet. The goji berry certainly expands the choice of healthy snacks and drinks our body needs for nutrition and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Replacing soda pop with goji berry juice is a smart choice, and chips can take a backseat with dried goji berries on hand.

In recent years, goji juice has become popular as a health beverage. Companies marketing goji juice often mention the unsupported claim that a man named Li Qing Yuen consumed goji berries daily and lived to be 252 years old. Marketers also list extensive health benefits of goji juice, even though there are few published clinical trials in humans. In traditional Chinese medicine, goji berries are eaten raw, brewed into a tea, added to Chinese soups, or made into liquid extracts. Goji berries have appeared in snack foods in North America. For example, the health food store Trader Joe’s sells a goji berry trail mix. Whole goji berries are available at Chinese herbal shops. Goji juice can be found in some health food stores, online stores, and through network marketers.
