Goji Berries

[runnerbean]

Has anyone heard of Goji Berries, they are native to the Far East. Listen to this LJ, it is the world's most powerful nutritional and anti-aging food, as each fruit contains 500 times more Vitamin C than an orange. Although this nutrient rich fruit has been treasured by the Himalayan people for over 2000 years and praised for its unrivalled health-promoting properties, it has remained widely unknown to the Western world until now. In its native land, the Goji berry is known as 'the happy berry', and Legend has it that there was a man in China who lived to be 256 years old, thanks to his regular diet of Goji berries. Fact or fiction - you decide!
