The dried berries are sold by Holland and Barrett,also Juliam Graves, that I know.When you buy them the berries are dry but quite chewy, with a sweet taste. You could also add them to muesli if you like. If you soak them they soon soften, but I chew straight from the pack. In fact, that's what I'm doing now. I've also taken them with porridge. I've never grown the bush, preferring blueberries. Sam. |

Tried them dried from Holland and Barratt and didn't see anything in them but the T and M picture looks very tempting as always. The article in the wikipedia on chinese wolfberries, goji, gouqi, lycium barbarense and/or chinense and the Duke of Argyll'e tea tree is most informative. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfberry In addition to the four or five UK sites mentioned, it also grows up the Yorkshire coast from Spurn, at Staithes and Redcar and doubtless other places too. If you want the dried berries, you'll get them cheaper in a chinese supermarket than at a "health food" shop. I tried cultivating seed from them and got good germination but lost the pot in some drought episode or other. I'm going to try again. |
