About Goji

Goji usually refers to the small red-orange berries sold fresh or dried as a food. Dried berries are wrinkled and chewy, with a sweet-tart flavour; fresh berries are softer and more delicate. The common name can refer to more than one closely related berry source, so the record does not establish a precise botanical identity.

The berries are eaten dried as a snack or added to cereals, baked foods, and cooked preparations; fresh fruit is less commonly encountered in many markets. Products may be whole, dried, or processed, and their texture and flavour depend on form and handling.
