Chinese lycium lycii goji berry wolfberries
Goji berries come from the Lycium genus of over 50 different species. The primary one used in Chinese herbalism and sold as a dried superfruit is the Lycium barbarum variety. The two closely related species Lycium chinense and Lycium barbarum, both of which go by the Chinese name gou qi zi, are thought to be native to southeastern Europe and Asia.
Chinese lycium species have in the past often been referred to as lycium fruit, wolfberries or lycii (often pronounced lee-chee) berries, not as "goji" per say. Today, however, they are most commonly labeled and sold worldwide as "goji", mostly for marketing purposes.
L. barbarum, a slightly taller species, is the main variety cultivated in China for commercial export. They are primarily grown in regions of Ningxi, Xinjiang and Qinghai, but are also farmed in Shanxi and Gansu Provinces.
Other varieties also grow wild in many subtropical, temperate and arid desert-like climates around the world. These versions may produce different types of edible or inedible fruits or likewise may not bare any fruit at all.
Quite a few species from the genus Lycium, such as L. californicum, L. andersoniiand L. fremontii, are found growing in the desert regions of the Southwestern U.S. and Mexico.
Lycium fruit was, in fact, a staple food source of several indigenous tribes located in these areas. According to the the book "Temalpakh: Cahuilla Indian Knowledge and Usage of Plants", the dried berries were "boiled into a mush or ground dried into a flour and mixed with water" and "were considered a significant item in the Cahuilla diet."
Goji berries also occasionally go by the name boxthorn or matrimony vine. Like ashwagandha and golden berry. all lycium species are members of the nightshade family, Solanaceae.
The actual goji berry plant itself is a vine growing species and woody deciduous perennial that grows an average height of 3-10 feet (1-3 meters), producing a purple flower and an oblong red-orange berry approximately 1/2-1 in (1–2 cm) in diameter.
