Qinghai Goji Berries

Qinghai Goji Berries

　　Goji berries belong to the Solanaceae family and are primarily produced in Delingha, Golmud, Dulan, and Ulan of Haixi Prefecture, where those grown on farms are of the highest quality. Wild and cultivated goji berries can also be found in other prefectures and eastern agricultural areas, with an annual output of nearly one hundred tons. The fruits are harvested when ripe between August and September, then dried. During the drying process, they should not be turned to avoid darkening.

　　Famous both at home and abroad, Qinghai’s signature goji berries are nourished by the cold dew of the northern steppes and infused with the essence of nature. The fresh berries are delicate, glistening, and ruby-red like precious gemstones, while the dried ones boast a rich red hue, thin skin, thick flesh, few seeds, and a sweet taste—offering exceptional nutritional value. Goji berries are neutral in property and sweet in flavor. As early as the Han Dynasty, they were celebrated for their remarkable benefits, including nourishing yin and kidney, boosting brain and blood health, improving vision and vitality, and delaying aging.

　　Expert analysis has shown that the germanium and lithium elements uniquely contained in goji berries enhance the body’s immune function and help develop children’s intelligence. Rich in various amino acids, vitamins, iron, phosphorus, calcium, and other essential nutrients and minerals, goji berries offer remarkable effects in fighting cancer, protecting the liver, and enhancing skin health. They are among the best natural health products, used to treat symptoms such as blurred vision, dizziness, tinnitus, soreness and weakness in the lower back and knees, and diabetes.
