Goji Berries

My Goji berries ( Lycium barbarum ) One of the main reasons I love gardening is for the health benefits ;)

Goji berries have purple flowers and pointy leaves

The Goji berry plant also called the Wolfberry, is a bright orange-red berry that comes from a shrub that is native to China. In Asia, goji berries have been eaten for generations in the hope of living longer. Goji berry has established itself as a very powerful potent tonic herb. Similar to the benefits you get from eating other berries, goji berries are loaded with beta-carotene (a pigment found in plants and fruits) which helps promote healthy skin. Goji berries have also been known to help boost the immune system and protect the eyes. Like other berries, goji berries are also an excellent source of vitamin C and can reduce tough cold symptoms.
