Excitement About Himalayan Goji JuiceTraditionally a juice that the Chinese and the natives of Tibet used for promoting general wellness, Himalayan goji juice is becoming more popular in the west due to very recent commercialization efforts. However, as the name implies, the best berries that are purported to make the best Himalayan goji juice, are grown in some areas close to the Himalayan mountains and Tibet, particularly in China and Inner Mongolia. The Origin Of The Name Actually, the goji berry has traditionally been known as the wolfberry, a member of the nightshade family. Potatoes are also members of this same family. The berry was introduced into the United Kingdom in the seventeen hundreds as a hedging shrub and continues to be used there to this day. In the United Kingdom the plant is known as the Duke of Argyll's Tea Tree and has recently been allowed to be sold commercially. The term Himalayan goji juice appears to be somewhat of a marketing ploy. The berries are not obtained from the Himalayas at all as the mountainous terrain and climate of these mountains does not permit berries to thrive. The berries are more than likely from China or Inner Mongolia where the growing conditions are more appropriate. Finally, the name Goji is a western pronunciation of the actual Mandarin name for the plant. Given these facts the Himalayan goji juice could be more properly named the Chinese Wolfberry Juice. Habitats Himalayan goji juice is reportedly produced from the very best berries that can be found. These red berries may well have been grown in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region of north-central China or the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of western China. The berries are cultivated on plantations that can range from one hundred to one thousand acres in size. The Ningxia berries are grown on the most fertile floodplains of the Yellow River. The quality of these Ningxia wolfberries is so well known that they are sometimes known as "red diamonds". Although most producers and sellers of himalayan goji juice do not disclose the actual source of the berries, however some do openly admit that they have not been grown in the Himalayan Mountains themselves. |
