In valleys of Tibet and Mongolia there is a special berry that the locals use and cherish so much that they honor it in special celebrations that last two weeks each year. It is well documented that many people in those areas live free of common diseases and for well over a hundred years.
Of the many varieties of Lycium, the Tibetan Lycium berry has earned the respect of the great Physicians of Tibet over these many centuries. The Tibetan variety of Lycium now known as 'Goji' is considered to be the Mother of all Lyciums! It grows in very remote unpolluted hills and valleys of Tibet and Mongolia, in soil so rich in nutrients that the berries are exploding with this special nurturing vitality.
Goji is the name that refers only to this Tibetan variety of Lycium berry, that is indigenous to the traditional Tibetan and Mongolian botanical collection regions and used for centuries by the nomadic people of those areas. Local harvesters are careful to distinguish the 'Goji' berry from its distantly related offspring, the Chinese Wolfberry (Lycium barbarum), pointing out that whilst the later evolved over centuries from the Tibetan Lycium variety, its nutrient makeup and energetic qualities differ, as do the regions and conditions within which these two different Lycium berries are growing. See the 'Goji' research pages for more information.
Tibetan Goji berries are not Chinese wolfberries and it is not correct to call the Chinese wolfberry 'Goji'. The ancient Tibetan Lycium berry has different energetic qualities than the Chinese wolfberry and is grown in a different country and soil conditions. The nutrient dense energy of the Goji berry has been recognized as having the highest in nutrient content of all the 80 plus varieties of Lycium berries on Earth. Many marketers, both Chinese and Western, now often call their wolfberries 'Goji' to give them special market importance. That is incorrect however and is causing confusion.
Because there are now so many companies selling juices, bars, powders, capsules and extracts using the name 'Goji' to sell their products we feel obligated to offer this service of authenticating the use of the actual Tibetan variety of 'Goji' berry in whole and in product form. This information is in our order records and data, as all orders world wide are processed through the office of The Tibetan Goji Berry Company and it is known who is using the real Goji berry and who is not. So please use this service to feel secure about using an authentic Goji berry product!
To authenticate Goji berries and products using the authentic Goji Berry please email your request of authenticity to info@gojiberry.com.
More information about authentic Goji products is on our vendor page.
The Goji berry grows in profusion in remote wild areas with vines reaching over twenty feet. The small, round, red berries are harvested in the late summer by being shaken onto collection trays, then washed, inspected and oven dried at controlled low temperature; they are inspected and tested again before packaging. Every year's harvest is tested for purity to assure they are free of any contaminants, chemicals, pesticides, sulfur and mold.
Of course they are very pure because no chemicals are ever used in these remote areas. We feel these wildcrafted berries exceed any organic standards set by any country in the world and because they are wildcrafted they naturally have more nutrient energy than cultivated varieties such as the Lycium barbarum abundantly available from China.
The taste is not too difficult to describe .... some say between a cranberry and a cherry .... others say they taste of raspberry and plum .... you will have to decide for yourself!
It is said in Tibet that eating these 'Goji' berries in the morning will make you happy the entire day — with such a practice, eventually you can't stop smiling.
Savor each berry individually or add to hot and cold cereals, blender fruit juice drinks, add a handful to your water bottle and eat them as you drink, use in trail mix, soups, whole fruit and nut bars, baked goods, tea and fruit juice blends. Check out our recipe page for more great ways to enjoy this special berry. Let your imagination SOAR with this creative culinary delight!
