1. Can black goji berry be grown in the south

Black goji berry cannot be grown in the south. Black goji berry is mostly produced in the arid regions of the northwest. The climate, sunshine and soil alkalinity of the south differ greatly from the plant's place of origin, so most planted plants struggle to bear fruit, and the few fruits they do produce are of poor quality.

2. The value of black goji berry

1. Black goji berry is a shrub with many thorns. It is drought-tolerant and often grows on saline-alkali wasteland, sandy land or roadsides, and can serve as a shrub for soil and water conservation.

2. Black goji berry is sweet in taste and neutral in nature, and is rich in protein, goji polysaccharides, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, trace elements and many other nutrients. It also contains abundant black fruit pigments, at levels exceeding those of blueberries. It helps clear dead cells from the human body and pigments deposited on the skin surface, provides antioxidant effects, alleviates pigment formation, and reduces the formation of skin spots.

3. Black goji berry is rich in carotene, calcium, iron and other nutrients, and is beneficial to the eyes. Drinking it steeped in water can improve eye conditions such as blurred vision and night blindness caused by insufficient liver blood and kidney yin deficiency.

4. Black goji berry contains sitosterol, betaine, linolenic acid and other components. These components help lower blood lipids and cholesterol, and help maintain stable blood pressure.

When making tea with black goji berry, do not use boiling water. Use warm water at 40-60°C and steep about a dozen berries.
