Lately I’ve been seeing “goji berries” popping up in the stores in the natural food sections.

Ho-Hum

Of course these are all the rage right now.

Goji berries might be good for what ails you

Also known as the “wolfberry and the “matrimony vine,” goji berries are the fruit of a woody perennial from China. They’ve been a mainstay of traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years.

As they say, go read the rest. You shouldn’t be surprised to see China being mentioned prominently.  According to those who are into all this stuff, China is the place of miracles.  If we just did everything they did in old Chinese medicine, we’d all live to be 1001 at least.

Makes me tired.

However, the Whole Foods store where I shop sells Dark chocolate covered Goji Berries.  They are very very good.  They taste like dark chocolate covered raisins. Of course if they didn’t have the chocolate, I would never have bothered to buy them.  Now I’ll have to wonder if I am getting the health benefits from the berries or the chocolate… what a dilemma!
