Dr. Oz only recently became aware of the nutritional value of Goji Berries, but he is hoping to share his enthusiasm about this ancient Wolfberry with his audience.

The Goji Beries or Wolfberries have been used in the East for centuries and are an integral part of many herbal formulations.

It’s only in the West that it has become fashionable to eat them alone. People are adding them to granola and cereal and trail mix. People are nibbling on them and including them in dishes that have traditionally called for currents, raisins, or cranberries. It works, but it’s not traditional in the truest sense of the word.

Dr. Oz is one of the newcomers who are vocal about Goji Berries and their health benefits without the training and knowledge that comes with the ordinary education in the Eastern Healing Arts. These Western Medical doctors will catch up gradually and eventually come to appreciate more about this nutritional berry and it’s place in our pantries and medicine chests.
