More than just a berry
© Siboney Saavedra-Duff 2005

It is rare to find something new, to be awed and amazed, to discover
a beauty in whose presence we are humbled. And yet itís a sign of our
arrogance that we in the West often feel at liberty to pronounce as
new that, which for other cultures, is tradition. One such
ëdiscoveryí is the Goji Berry.

Imagine a small red berry, about the size of a grape, growing on a
vine in the hills of Tibet and Inner Mongolia. A small red berry that
harvesters are careful to avoid touching with their bare hands so as
not to oxidise the flesh of the fruit. A small red berry containing
more amino acids than bee pollen, more protein than whole wheat and
more beta-carotene than carrots. A little red berry that will dry to
the size of a currant in the shade of the mountains within which it
has grown before being exported across the globe to those who have
only recently, despite its 2000year plus traditional history,
discovered it.

   Goji is the colloquial name given only to this Tibetan berry by
the indigenous Tibetan and Mongolian people of the region. Local
growers are careful to distinguish the Goji berry from its distantly
related offspring, the Chinese Wolfberry (Lycium barbarum), pointing
out that whilst the later evolved (over centuries) from the Goji
berry, its genetic makeup differs considerably, as do the regions
within which these two different berries are growing.

   A traditional food used widely in Mongolia and Tibet, the Goji
berry is considered fundamental to a long and happy life, so much so
that locals hold celebrations in honor of the fruit and its gifts.
Such faith, whilst possibly appearing naive to those of us
indoctrinated to Western notions of health and disease, is difficult
to dismiss in a population generally free of arthritis, diabetes,
obesity and cancer.

   The fruit is eaten either fresh or dried and can be added to
cooking, cereals, trail mixes or smoothies as well as being eaten
alone. The flavour of the Goji berry is difficult to describe ñ sweet
with a slight tartness (similar to a cranberry but sweeter).
Incredibly high in iron, Goji berries are exceptionally nutrient
rich, containing up to 21 trace minerals and 18 amino acid. They are
especially high in Vitamins A, C, E, B1, B2 and B6, and contain
considerably more Vitamin C than an orange. The Goji berry has also
been found to contain other complex compounds, such as Betaine
(useful for improving liver function and reputed to enhance memory),
Solavetivone (a compound containing anti-fungal and anti-bacterial
properties), and Beta-Sitoserol (an anti-inflammatory agent that may
also help in the treatment of hypertension). An average daily serving
of a º cup of dried Goji berries would also contain 4grams each of
dietary fibre and protein.

The Goji berry has traditionally been utilized to nurture the heart,
strengthen the immune system, facilitate optimal liver function and
treat insomnia. It also increases visual perspicacity and, as a
traditional blood tonic, it has a proud heritage in the treatment of
forgetfulness, lethargy and anxiety related to blood and chi
deficiencies. Recently the subject of various scientific studies
throughout the world, Goji berries have been found to be effective in
increasing white blood cells and depressing the activity of cancer
cells. In studies conducted in countries such as Mongolia, Japan,
China and Switzerland, researchers have determined that the Goji
berry fruit (as well as an extract from the leaves of the plant) is
capable of killing some kinds of cancer cells under laboratory
conditions. This is thought to be primarily due to the presence of
124ppm of organic Germanium contained within the berries. According
to Japanese studies, organic Germanium may be useful in the treatment
of liver, lung, uterine, cervical and testicular cancer in
combination with other drugs. It would appear that Goji berries, as a
consequence of the Germanium as well as other constituents of the
plant, are capable of inhibiting the hydrogen ion in the cancer
cells, thereby depressing the synthesis of cancerous DNA. Many more
studies are yet to be conducted and scrutinized by the medical and
scientific communities, but it would appear that in essence the Goji
berries might be helping to lower the reproductive capacity of
cancerous cells.

Goji berries grow naturally wild and in profusion in the remote
hills and valleys of the Himalayas of Tibet and Inner Mongolia and
can be harvested with ease.
