Where is black goji berry produced? Introduction to the distribution of its main producing areas
Black goji berries are produced in Jiuquan in Gansu, western Qinghai, Ningxia, Xinjiang, western Inner Mongolia and Tibet, China. They are mainly distributed in the gobi areas of China, growing in barren mountains and wild ridges and on riverbed sand beaches where humans cannot survive, and they possess extremely strong vitality. The first to be highly sought after were the black goji berries from Nuomuhong in Qinghai; because of their plump appearance and the relatively large amount of anthocyanins released after steeping in water, they have always been highly sought after by everyone.
Distribution of black goji berry producing areas:
1. Qaidam Basin in Qinghai
The Nuomuhong area in the Qaidam Basin of Qinghai has a plateau continental climate, with an average sunlight duration of up to 10 hours. This place has high altitude, high salinity and alkalinity, large temperature differences and little rainfall. The unique environment can promote the formation and accumulation of anthocyanins in black goji berries, so the black goji berries grown in this place have large berries, high anthocyanin content and richer nutrition. The efficacy of black goji berries from other areas of Qinghai is slightly inferior to those from the Qaidam Basin. The slight inferiority mentioned here mainly refers to the size of the black goji berries and the amount of anthocyanins they contain.
2. Xinjiang black goji berries
Black goji berries are distributed in the vast desert areas of Xinjiang, and their tenacious vitality forms a beautiful scenic line across the vast desert.
Xinjiang wild black goji berries come from the no-man's land of Lop Nur in Korla, Xinjiang. The temperature difference between day and night is large, and the surface temperature in summer can reach 60 degrees. The growing environment determines the quality!
Xinjiang black goji berries have high nutritional value. Wild black goji berries grow in basin desert areas at an altitude of 2700 m-3000 m, with high altitude, arid climate, a clean ecological environment and no pollution. The efficacy of Xinjiang black goji berries is slightly inferior to those from Qaidam in Qinghai, but their quality is also quite good. They likewise contain various nutritional components such as protein, fat, carbohydrates, free amino acids, organic acids, minerals, trace elements, alkaloids, vitamin C, B1, B2 and so on.
3. Gansu black goji berries
Gansu black goji berries are distributed in high-mountain sandy forests, and their growing conditions are harsh. Because their altitude and temperature differences are slightly inferior to those of Qinghai and Xinjiang, their efficacy is also slightly inferior to that of black goji berries from producing areas such as Qinghai and Xinjiang. But what we want to emphasize here is that Gansu black goji berries likewise contain all the various nutritional components found in black goji berries; it is only that their anthocyanin content may be slightly lower, and if you steep them in water, you will find that the color comes out more slowly. In addition, in terms of taste they are not as sweet as Qinghai black goji berries. However, their price is much lower than that of Qinghai, so we think their cost-effectiveness is still quite good.
The above is the relevant introduction to where black goji berries are produced. We hope it is helpful to everyone.
