the little wolf berry

[YuLong]

Does anyone know anything about wolf berries also known as èÛè½

(gou-qi)

I have been all over miami this weekend looking for the little small berry and only to turn up with no one knowing anything about them.

 

Even the local chinese market does not carry them.

I made an order from my brother in law from canada but I really dont want to bother him everytime I need a fresh bag for my fix.

What is it and what does it (supposedly) do?

My wolf berries are from Ning Xia. You should only eat 5 a day. They are good for the eyes and male fertility among other things. Do not eat them with green tea!

I asked my girls about them. They are not sure where to find them in the US. There's a lot of info here.

 

Sorry ... not too helpful.

http://www.medicalpoint.com.au/wolfberries.asp This looks like a trustworthy site. It is consistent with what my wife tells me about the Ningxia wolfberry.

Yes I am aware of all the wonderful things they are capable of

I was wondering if anyone knew where to get them online or in South Florida.

Ive been eating them for about 6 weeks now since my brother in law spoke about them and sent me 2 bags of the little brown raisin looking dried berries.

I was told they were good for my kidneys,

and much more.

I buy them at chinese grocery stores. I call them little red berry and they can normally find them. I soak them in my scotch with ginseng root for my tonic. I drink a cap full on most days.

Good for your kidneys, great for your eyes...The dried ones are easily to be found in most Chinese grocery stores. Put them in the tea, soup..... or like what Don does. Check this place if you can not find it locally.

Best wishes,

We found them very easy in Miami when we were there. Did you check the few stores on NE163rd or the one on SW40th?

I see Lei eating this once in a while in a jar with water, definitely not dried and probably grown somewhere near by her home. I need to try these when I make my second trip in February!

You can soak the dried ones in hot water to rehydrate them. Plus, very popular to put in Alchol to make a healthy drink.
