Dried Goji Medicine or Fruit

Goji is familiar with Chinese, and its English name is Lycium chinense. Goji’s original place is in Ningxia, China and it has been regarded as precious medicine for more than 600 years. As early as in Ming Dynasty, dried Goji was listed in cherish tributes. In present, almost in every corner in China you can find the Goji, but the Goji in Ningxia is still the best.

The dried Goji plays a vital role in traditional Chinese medicine, and it contains carotene, betaine, vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, and vitamin C as well as calcium, phosphorus and ferrum. Many traditional Chinese medicines contain Goji as an indispensible ingredient. Most Chinese would like drinking water with it for body conditioning in summer that is easy for people to catch cold. Moreover, it is a great idea to put Goji into porridge you making, needless to say it is good for our healthy, and it is a rare delicacies. 

However, it is true that not everyone likes Goji, and I am also  part of them. I do not like its favor, so I turned down the recommendation of my friend. I noticed the Goji my friend gave me was not the same as l knew. It is one kind of dehydrated fruits. So when my friend suggested me to have another try, I forgot my prejudice temporarily, beyond my expectation this dried Goji berries is sweet and good taste. I immediately fell in love with it and recommended it to my relatives, friends and classmates, and all of them responded they liked it. 

I never thought that medicine could also be fruits, in my opinion, medicine is always bitter and has a strange smell, and always be the last thing that children like. I was not surprise that my aunt went for me asking where can buy this product. Actually, it is not hard to buy the dried Goji berries in China, almost in every seven-eleven stories, supermarkets and department stores can purchase it.

Foreigners may have no clear idea about Goji, but one of my foreign teachers like it very much, when back to the USA, he always take the dried Goji berries as gift. So you can see from the examples I mentioned above, this product is well-received in domestic and foreign.
