The plant itself is known for being robust and hardy and does not require much water; it does not however grow in balmy environments such as the tropical climates. The leaves are deep green in color and the fruit that is produced is a vibrant red, edible berry with a very sweet and pleasant taste.

 The history of Goji can be traced back thousands of years and is an intricate part of Chinese and Asian folk medicine. Historically, the ancient Himalayans were the ones to first encounter the miracle fruit. For thousands of years, the Goji berry gave Himalayans health and energy. Then, once the Chinese and Indians passed through their lands, the Himalayans decided to share their ‘secret.’ The foreigners welcomed the new knowledge as they began incorporating the Goji berry into their own herbal solutions.

As the Goji berry became popular in other parts of Asia, news of its powers began to spread. An early Buddhist text, tells us that during the Tang Dynasty (around 800AD), a well that had been dug near a famous Buddhist temple was covered with Goji vines .Over the years, countless berries had fallen into the well. Those who prayed there had the ruddy complexion of good health, and even at the age of eighty they had no white hair and lost no teeth, simply because they drank the water from the well.

There are many Chinese legends in connection with Goji, most of them about Goji’s ability to extend a person’s life well beyond 100 years. One of the most famous legends talks about a man named Li Qing Yuen, who was born in 1678.A master herbalist, Li Qing traveled extensively throughout Tibet and Southeast Asia, learning from the many natural healers living there. Among his healthy habits were three daily pillars: a “soup” of Goji berries, Taoist yoga, and a diet primarily of steamed above-ground vegetables and herbs. Li Qing Yuen was also known to eat very little meat. Master Li died in 1930; at 252 years of age .He had married 14 times and lived to see almost 11 generations of descendants, who numbered nearly 200.Often people in American culture seek to become healthy through a miracle drug, vitamin or supplement. But this is not what nature intended for human beings, a fact that is readily acknowledged in Eastern philosophies. That is why in many Asian countries, natural substances are often used to treat ailments. This is especially the case with the Goji berry, one of the most nutritious ‘super fruits’ on the plane.
