Goji berries, also known as Wolfberries, Matrimony Vine, or Desert Thorns, have become widely popular nowadays. They are used in various snack bars, and juices or you can buy them dried. Originally grown in Asia for estimated 5,000 years, they were brought to North America by migrating tribes.

In one serving of about 1 oz., goji berries have more vitamin C than oranges, more beta carotene than carrots, and more iron than steak.
