Wolfberry, Goji berry, Matrimony Vine, and Gou-gi-zi are all common names for
Lycium barbarum. Wolfberry or Wolf Berry is probably the most well know common name. Wolfberry has been grown and used in China for centuries. The berries can be eaten fresh, dried, or juiced and are high in protein and anti-oxidants. Wolf berries contain all the essential amino acids.
You can find products made with Wolfberries such as juice, skin care, and energy bars. Also, dried Wolfberries or Goji berries are available from the same site or from your local health food store.
