LYcium Barbarum Gojiberry
Originating in the Himilayan hylands it is thought to be one of the most powerful nutritional and anti-ageing foods with a mild, sweet liquorice flavour. Also containing more vitamin C than an orange and rich in anti-oxidents and trace elements this attractive little red berry can be eaten dried or fresh.
Hardy and drought tolerant, Gojiberries are extremely easy to grow and highly prolific. The berries are best harvested by gently shaking the branches to avoid damaging the fruit by hand picking.
