Lycium barbarum - Goji Berry 100 mm

Goji Berry or Chinese Wolfberry (Lycium barbarum)

Goji's have  a sweet flavour similar to Cranberry or Sultana and can be used in sweet or savour dishes.
They partner with sweeter herbs like most mints, parsley, coriander and in salads, sauces and casseroles with tomatoes and onions. Excellent added to mixed fried rice or other similar  dishes.


They are easy to use dried or rehydrated and can be added at all stages of cooking. Great eaten raw as an in between snack or on top of the morning breakfast cereal. As with and Asian plant that has been used for 1000 plus years there are stories and rumours about what it can and cannot cure. Most are just stories and have been challenged in may courts. However like all similar fruits they are high in Vitamin C and A, phyto chemicals and are also good sources of plant based protein.

This quick growing vine likes fertile well drained soil in part to full sun. Will grow well in any garden and also in large pots.

Harvest fruit in late autumn and then prune to keep in shape. Don not prune prior to fruiting and it may take a year or two to set fruit. Give regular applications of Maxicrop and fruit n citrus food to keep the plant healthy and producing well.
