Goji berry is also called Chinese wolfberry, possibly because the Chinese observed the wolves eating goji berries. It is known as a \u2018super fruit\u2019 because of its wide range of medicinal properties. The scientific name of the goji berry is <em>Lycium barbarum<\/em>, belonging to the family Solanaceae. Goji berries are widely grown in China, Japan, Taiwan, Korea and Mongolia. China is the leading producer of goji berries and is often grown in Gansu, Shaanxi, Xinjiang and Hebei regions<a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC8868247\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><sup>1<\/sup><\/a>.
