Tibetan Names
Background of the Famed Tibetan Goji Berry by Tom Garcin
In the fertile, unpolluted hills and valleys of Tibet and Mongolia there is a special berry the locals cherish so much they honor it in celebrations that last two weeks each year. Containing more protein than whole wheat, more beta carotene than carrots and 500 times more vitamin C by weight than oranges Tibetan Goji berries have been considered by many for thousands of years to be a very powerful food. It has been well documented that many people in these regions where Goji Berries grow live free of common diseases for well over a hundred years.
Tibetan Goji Berries are a dried fruit and thus have a long shelf-life. They taste a bit like a combination of raisins, carrots, and grapefruit, and many who try them say the taste imparts a feeling of energy and well-being.
Goji is the ancient colloquial name given only to the Tibetan variety of Lycium berry by the indigenous Tibetan and Mongolian people of the region. Local farmers are careful to distinguish the Tibetan Goji berry from its distantly related offspring, the Chinese Wolfberry (Lycium barbarum), pointing out that although the Wolfberry evolved over centuries from the Goji berry, its genetic makeup differs considerably, as do the regions within which these two berries are growing. Therefore, Tibetan Goji Berries are not Chinese Wolfberries and it is not correct to call the Chinese Wolfberry ‘Goji’.
The nutrient dense energy of the Tibetan Goji Berry has been recognized as having the highest in nutrient energy of all the 80 plus varieties of Lycium berries on Earth. Therefore, many marketers often call there wolfberries ‘Goji’ to give them special importance.
Tibetan Goji Berries are wonderful and delicious tonic fruits used as a blood tonic, to relieve heart palpitation, insomnia, forgetfulness and anxiety associated with blood and chi deficiency. The berries have a high content of iron, about 20 times that of grapes and 15 times that of spinach. Many Tibetan formulas include these berries with other ingredients and offered in a well built formula with tonic herbs, astringent herbs, herbs to strengthen essence, nourish internal organs and build blood.
