| These most potent Goji berries grow in protected valleys in million year old soil in wild and cultivated areas of Inner Mongolia and Tibet. The plants grow like bushes with vines that reach over 15 feet. The berries are never touched by hand when harvested as the fresh, ripe berries will oxidise and turn black. They are shaken onto mats and freshly pulped to retain goodness. |
