 "...the main value of this book is the objective way the authors have presented information. Unlike other descriptions of goji berry found on the internet -- where there is so much hype that seems to come from the legendary Chinese myths about the health benefits of wolfberry -- this book zeroes in on the facts."

Product Description
This book objectively considers nutritional evidence that the Chinese wolfberry ("goji", Lycium barbarum L.) is the world's most nutrient-rich food. Data comparisons are made to more common 'superfoods', such as flax seeds, spinach and blueberries.
Factors influencing nutrient density and quality, such as taxonomy, geography, Yellow River loess (silt from flooding), cultivation practices and processing, are given separate chapters. Using available research literature, the book fulfills the scientific credibility needed to benchmark goji as a nutrient-rich superfruit valuable for western diets and health. |

Origin of the Names, Wolfberry and Goji
This plant is botanically related to the tomato which was named "wolf-peach" (Solanum lycopersicum L., where lyco = wolf and persicum = peach) in 1753 by the Swedish taxonomist, Carl Linnaeus. In his monograph, Species Plantarum, which remains the basis for current plant nomenclature,"wolf-berry" (Lycium barbarum L.) was discussed a few pages later as the smaller cousin of tomato. It remains unknown why Linnaeus linked tomato to wolves.
Wolfberry is the name used in all medical and food science literature as of 2009 when a few publications began including "goji". As pronounced in Mandarin, wolfberry becomes "gouqi", sounding like "goji" among many of the 60+ dialects of Mandarin used across China and southeast Asia - the native region of the plant. Around 2004, American marketers gave the name "goji" as a more consumer-friendly term for the expanding market interest for this fruit.
