Goji Berries from China are different from those found in Himalayas. The difference lies in the way
they are cultivated as well as the place they are grown. In China, they are cultivated commercially on farms
using modern techniques where as in the Himalayan slopes a method called “wild crafting” is used. This method
encourages the growth of Goji Berries under natural conditions. Here they are grown in the rich fertile soil
without any chemical fertilizers or pesticides. The Goji Berries from the Himalayan slopes of Tibet and
Mongolia are larger and sweeter. The Chinese Goji Berries on the other hand are smaller and taste a bit
bitter.

supplements.
