Goji berries

Goji berries are the fruits of a plant called Derek Common or Derek Berberova (Lycium barbarum). The tree belongs to the family Nightshade and grows mainly in China, as well as Mongolia. In addition, the tree is cultivated in Tibet, in the northern part of China, in the Russian Federation, as well as the Himalayas. The tree is grown for the purpose of producing fruits that are eaten and also used in folk medicine as a medicine.

Often goji berries are popularly called "wolf. " Somehow it turned out by itself that the fruits of some plants, including common dereza, began to be called "wolf" berries. For example, in addition to goja berries, the "wolf" includes the fruits of such plants as Handsome Common, better known as Beladonna, Raven's Eye, Snowberry, Wavy Berry, Krushina Brittle, as well as Honeysuckle.

It is also worth emphasizing that not all of the above so-called "wolf" berries are really poisonous and contain toxins dangerous to human life in their chemical composition. Goji berries, as well as Honeysuckle fruits and Snowberry are absolutely safe for life and even good for human health. The useful properties of goji berries have been used in Chinese folk medicine for many millennia.

It is worth noting that over time, the use of the unique properties of goji berries as a medicine has become characteristic of all Asian medicine as a whole. The most valuable and expensive in China and around the world are considered goji Ningxia berries or 寧夏枸杞, which literally means "goji berries from the Ningxia region. "

The fertile lands of Ningxia Autonomous District, which is located in northern China, are believed to contribute to the cultivation of first-class goji berries, which differ in their vitamin and mineral composition. In appearance, goji berries represent bright red fruits. It is noteworthy that the common derek tree bears fruit up to 13 times in a row in a season.

However, the most valuable (in terms of the chemical composition of the product) goji berries are harvested exclusively in the month of August. Goji berries have been eaten in Kiat since ancient times. Moreover, in ancient Chinese annals and medical treatises, goji berries are called nothing more than "paradise berry" or "berry of longevity, " as well as "red diamond. "

All of the above names speak most eloquently of the unique benefits of goji berries for the human body. Goji berries are considered an excellent general strengthening agent that increases immunity, and also heals the human body. In addition, the chemical composition of goji berries is enriched with vitamin C, as well as B and carotene.
