If you have not yet
heard of goji, you are not alone.
While it has occupied an important
place in traditional Asian medicine
for countless generations, the secrets
of its nutritional benefits have
remained a mystery to most of the
world.
Through the ages, legends abound about this miraculous
fruit. There are festivals held
to celebrate its goodness, and a
poem was written in its honor. |
During the Tang Dynasty (around 800
AD), a well had been dug beside a
wall near a famous Buddhist temple
that was covered with goji vines.
Over the years, countless berries
had fallen into the well. Those who
prayed there had the ruddy complexion
of good health, and even at the age
of eighty they had no white hair and
had lost no teeth, simply because
they drank the water from the well.
From this legend, a poem was crafted.
