Plant history & use:
Goji berries are one of the most popular "superfoods" (a term for food with particularly high nutritional value) and are often used in muesli, smoothies, salads and breads or simply eaten as is. The reason for their popularity is probably because the goji berry is one of the most nutrient-dense berries there is. It is rich in vitamins and minerals as well as omega-3 and antioxidants. The goji berry also has a particularly high protein content of 10g per/100g, which is very unusual among fruits and berries. The taste is sweet with hints of cranberry and cherry. The berries are usually dried before use.
The red goji berry is richer in carotenoids than the black goji berries , while the black ones are richer in antioxidants.
The root is used in herbal medicine for, among other things, its liver-cleansing properties.
The leaves are used in Asia in stews and soups or made into tea.
Culture:
Goji grows wild in Asia and has since been introduced to Sweden and has also begun to spread naturally here. The plant is a deciduous shrub that usually grows 80-200 cm tall.
The plant is very easy to care for and hardy to both salt and wind. It thrives in both sun and partial shade - goji is an adaptable plant.
