THE FIRST GOJI BERRY PLANTATION IN CROATIA

Goji berries

Goji berry fruits, the Himalayan miracle of the Lycium barbarum species, commercially known as "red diamond," are orange-red, measuring 1–2 centimeters, containing 10–60 seeds, and when dried, they resemble raisins in taste and texture.

This berry plant, originating from the Chinese province of Ningxia Hui, is rapidly climbing the world’s "superfruit" rankings.

Their energy value is 370 kcal/100 g, and the approximate "raw" nutritional composition would be about 68% carbohydrates, 12% protein, 10% fiber, and 10% fat.

They have an exceptionally high level of vitamin C and iron (100 grams of berries contain 11 mg of iron, the highest iron source in any plant), and they contain numerous nutrients and phytochemicals, i.e., phytonutrients (which give food its color, taste, aroma, and other sensory characteristics and do not have nutritional value but have a positive functional value for the human body in terms of disease protection and prevention), such as: 18 amino acids (of which 8 are essential for life), 6 essential vitamins (such as riboflavin/vitamin B2, vitamin B1, vitamin C), 21 minerals (such as iron, zinc, selenium, calcium, potassium), 8 polysaccharides and 6 monosaccharides, 5 unsaturated fatty acids, including linoleic and alpha-linolenic acid, which are essential for proper brain and nervous system function, beta-sitosterol (which reduces cholesterol levels), and other phytosterols, 5 carotenoids (beta-carotene, zeaxanthin, lutein, lycopene, cryptoxanthin, xanthophyll), and numerous phenolic pigments with antioxidant properties.

Germanium stimulates the production of pro-inflammatory factors such as interferon-γ and interleukin-2, and kills cervical, testicular, lung, and liver cancer cells.

Beta-sitosterol lowers blood cholesterol levels, has an anti-inflammatory effect, and is even useful in treating impotence.

Cyperone has a protective effect on the cardiovascular system, lowers blood pressure, alleviates menstrual pain, and helps prevent cervical cancer.

Solavetivone has bactericidal and antifungal effects on a wide range of microorganisms (killing bacteria and fungi).

Physalin is known as the main ally in the fight against leukemia by increasing the activity of killer cells, is a powerful anticarcinogen, and is also effective in treating hepatitis B.

Betaine acts as an anxiolytic, improves memory, stimulates muscle growth, and helps prevent fatty liver.

Lutein has exceptional antioxidant properties. It slows the degeneration of the macula, the most common cause of blindness in people over 65.

Beta-carotene is converted in the body into vitamin A, important for healthy vision.

Zeaxanthin protects the eyes from macular degeneration caused by free radicals. It helps protect against various forms of cancer by binding free radical cells, thereby reducing the number of tumor cells.

One of the most important active ingredients in Goji berries are polysaccharides, which improve the body's immune functions and help fight disease.

When all the "magical" ingredients are combined, the result is – scientifically proven – beneficial effects of Goji berry fruits: lowering cholesterol levels, increasing HDL ("good" blood fats), lowering blood pressure, normalizing blood glucose levels, anti-inflammatory effects, improving calcium absorption, enhancing vision and preventing macular degeneration, neutralizing the side effects of radiation and chemotherapy, improving the response to chemotherapy, anticarcinogenic effects, slowing the aging process, stimulating growth hormone (ensuring optimal energy levels, preserving muscle mass, preventing fat tissue accumulation).

The most astonishing effect, which generates the most buzz, is the antioxidant one. Oxidative processes underlie aging, tissue degeneration, compromised immune systems, and cancer development. During oxidation, free radicals are produced as metabolic by-products, systematically damaging DNA over time. The accumulation of such damage leads to its destruction, i.e., changes that cause aging and promote cancer. To slow or avoid these processes, it is important to continuously provide the body with sufficient amounts of antioxidants. Goji berry fruits are an ideal "booster" for this purpose – only 10–30 grams need to be consumed daily to achieve the desired effect!
