lycium barbarum
   
  some synonyms

  Lycium europaeum - non L.
Lycium halimifolium - Mill.
Lycium lanceolatum - Veillard.
Lycium megistocarpum - Dun.
   
  I have heard it called "happy berry" by importers - supposed to give a 
feeling of wellbeing.
  Hype?
   
  growing conditions are VERY important for sure.
  The pigs are giving us good mulching straw with urine on it.
  My daughter penned them in the garden for 3 months last fall. They ate lots 
of weed roots.
  This years garden should be good.

Which particular wolfberry is that? Nutrient contents of different 
foods vary wildly depending on how it's grown and the soil it's grown 
in.

When I tested it last month (still winter) we were growing cabbages 
with a brix level of 10%, by comparison a store-bought cabbage of the 
same type measured 3%. Our turnips measured 8% tops and 7% roots, 
from local gardens 4% and 3%. And so on. The nutrient contents will 
vary with the brix levels. We're only about nine months into this 
system, it will get better than that.

Brix levels:

Why organic?
