Goji berries, also known as wolfberries, have been cultivated in China for over 2,000 years. Traditionally, they were prized in ancient Chinese medicine for their ability to support vitality, immunity, and overall wellness. They’ve been called the “berries of longevity” and were often consumed as teas, soups, or dried snacks by emperors and herbalists alike.
Today, goji berries are recognized globally as a superfruit, valued for their vibrant color, nutrient density, and versatility in snacks, smoothies, and desserts.
