The wolfberry is a small red berry of the Lycium genus — marketed in the West as the goji berry — prized in traditional Chinese food and medicine and sold as a superfood. It is genuinely nutritious: rich in vitamin A (as zeaxanthin and other carotenoids), vitamin C, iron, and polysaccharides studied for immune and eye-health effects. The dried berries are chewy and sweet-tart, eaten as snacks, brewed as tea, or added to soups and porridges. The superfood marketing around them — extreme antioxidant claims, exotic-origin mystique — outruns the evidence, but as a nutrient-dense dried fruit they are a sound choice. Like all superfoods, they work best as part of a varied diet, not as a miracle.
