Perhaps the most super thing about goji berries is that eating them covered in chocolate is encouraged. Besides that, they have a high concentration of protein (about one gram of protein per tablespoon), contain essential amino acids, are crazy-high in vitamin A (36 percent of the daily recommended value per tablespoon), and a tablespoon has only 18 calories, making them a great snack option.

One study found that after consuming the berries in juice form for 14 days, subjects reported increased energy levels and improved athletic performance, quality of sleep, focus, digestive regularity, and mental sharpness — not to mention reduced stress and fatigue.  

Some studies have also pointed to goji berries’ potential for cancer prevention. In two different studies, goji berries’ polysaccharides (a type of carbohydrate) were shown to inhibit the growth of both prostate cancer and colon cancer cells  .

To round out the list of superpowers, gojis also contain melatonin, which has been shown to help control weight gain, reduce triglycerides, increase “good” (HDL) cholesterol and decrease “bad” (LDL) cholesterol . Since melatonin is also the hormone in charge of regulating the body’s time cues, goji berries and other foods rich in melatonin could also help improve sleep.

Backyard Garden.

I had plans of growing acres of cantaloupe, goji berries, and cherry tomatoes this summer but I wasn't able to make it happen.  I have over 200 plants in my backyard though so I am practicing or learning in case I can grow acres of these plants later.  So far I have plenty of goji berries, but not many charentais or petit gris melons.  I will get cherry tomatoes but likely not as many as I had hoped.  Out of about 30 melon plants I only have about six melons.  There may be some hiding still though.
timely transplanting and tilling compost into the soil seem to be keys to a good crop.  I just have to settle for backyard gardening rather than acres of plants.   

My goji berry plant growing experiences.

I got a late start last year growing goji berries.  I bought a few plants some of which already had berries on them.  So I knew it may be relatively easy to grow them.  This year I got an early start.  I even brought a plant in the house to try to get berries early.  That was a fail.  It still does not have berries on it.  It grew a lot of branches but not berries as yet.  I'm still early in my experiences with goji berries as they have not had time to mature.  But I am getting berries and there is still a month or two left in the season.  In a year or two they will be mature enough that I should be getting pounds of berries off of them.  I don't know if I will get enough to sell, which is my intent, but I should get enough to keep me busy eating fresh, drying and freezing for my own personal use. 

In my travels I did try to find a goji bush in Springville that a had a reported location of.  I did find the one in Castle Gate and I am pleased with that one.  I have tried to take cuttings off of it but I have not had much luck.  I think I need to take the planters with me and plant them promptly.  The first time I was there it was raining and I got a lot of cuttings and they kept well but they did not seem to take.  I also got some cuttings from a place in Lehi that I did promptly plant in top soil but they did not as well as I had hoped.  I did have some success.  The bag of top soil or potting soil is not one I would recommend.  I do believe in compost though.  Till in the compost before you plant.
