Goji berries, also known as wolfberries or red diamonds, are the fruit of the closely related Lycium barbarum and Lycium chinense bushes. The berries are a bright red-orange color when ripe and turn a darker red once dried. Goji berries, as well as the leaves and bark of the plants, have been used in traditional Chinese medicine for over 2,300 years. They have been used extensively in Chinese culture to quench thirst, increase stamina and slow down the natural process of aging.
