Himalayan Wild Berry (Wolfberries - Goji Berry )

GOJI berry is also known as Chinese wolfberry, mede-berry, barbary matrimony vine, bocksdorn, Duke of Argyll's tea tree, Murali (in India), red medlar, or matrimony vine. Unrelated to the plant's geographic origin, the names Tibetan goji and Himalayan goji are in common use in the health food market for products from this plant.           

As seen on Oprah with Dr Oz: - Goji has been found to be the most nutritionally dense source on the planet! The goji berry is a sweet burnt-red fruit native to Asia. Goji has been used in traditional Tibetan medicine for centuries, serving as a botanical medicine, a supplement and a food. Dried Goji berries have a very pleasant taste, vaguely sweet, but also a bit tart, somewhere between cherries, cranberries and raisins.
