Description

Within an uncertain origin, it is mainly cultivated in China, Japan, and the Himalayan and Mongolian valleys where its use in Traditional Chinese Medicine has been documented over 5000 years, and thanks to their extremely rich nutritional profile they have become one of the most famous tonic herbs of all time. With thorny branches and oblong, somewhat thick leaves that are distributed alternatively or in clusters of three, Lycium barbarum has bell-shaped pink or purple flowers and produces an ovoid fleshy orange to red berry in the fall.
