Goji Berry - Lycium barbatum
The Tibetan Goji Berry, from the Himalyas, is a small red berry that has been grown and eaten in the Himalaya region for thousands of years. The goji berry is known as the 'MIRACLE BERRY'  for its claimed medicinal properties that are widely published on the internet, but no claim is made for them here! However, what we can say about them is that they contain 11 essential and 22 trace minerals, 6 essential vitamins(!), 18 amino acids, and proven antioxidents (used to keep the skin young). Goji berries are reported to have the highest vitamin C content of any fruit when eaten fresh. They are VERY HARDY - our own have been down to -8C this winter. We have some 2litre plants ready now. These are UK grown, disease free, and ministry tested plants.
