The delicate red berries, which are shaken from the vine, rather than picked, grow on bushes one to three meters high. The taste is mildly tangy, both slightly sweet and sour. Typically, the berries are found dried; the shape and texture are similar to raisins. Today, the berries can be found in many health food stores, sold in snack mixes or in juice form. From a health analysis point of view, goji berries have been found to be rich in antioxidants, particularly carotenoids such as beta-carotene and zeaxanthin. Their primary benefit is the protection of the retina of the eye and they may decrease the risk of developing age-related macular degeneration. An irony considering the goji berry’s place is in the nightshade family.
