Goji berries have been known as the Asian herbal medicine in China, Tibet and India for thousand years. Goji plants are found in the subtropical regions of China, Mongolia and Himalayas in Tibet. Goji berries are usually sold dried with the shape and texture like raisins, but the colour is bright red. They have a very little yellow seed inside.

In valleys of Tibet and Mongolia there is a special berry that the locals use and cherish so much that they honor it in special celebrations that last two weeks each year. The Tibetan variety of Lycium now known as ‘Goji’ is considered to be the Mother of all Lyciums! It grows in very remote unpolluted hills and valleys of Tibet and Mongolia, in soil so rich in nutrients that the berries are exploding with this special nurturing vitality.

Goji berry is the commercial name that refers to this Tibetan variety of Lycium berry that is indigenous to the Tibetan and Mongolian regions. Local harvesters are cautious 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 Tibetan Lycium berry variety, its nutrient makeup differs considerably, as do the regions and conditions within which these two different berries are growing.

Most people who are on diet tend to avoid milk. On the contrary, this strategy might be inaccurate since cutting of milk may increase your amount of fats. How does it possible?
