Pomegranate seeds are so yesterday.
Goji berries are the new "it" food to add to your healthy eating arsenal. They can be used much like blueberries, either dried or fresh, to add super high anti-oxidant benefits to all the dishes you are already familiar with so they have been nicknamed "vitamin berries." You can see loads of details in this link!

Lycium barbarum has been on the herbal radar in China for centuries and this tough sprawler does well in commercial landscape use in other countries but is an unknown here in the United States. Why the attention now? There are two new cultivars that really showcase it's best features. 'Sweet Lifeberry' dries nicely and reminds me of dried cranberries so I'll be using it in the same way. 'Big Lifeberry' are two or three time larger and look amazing on the plant. What a show they will make in the garden, well, until I've cleaned it off throwing a handful into my juicer everyday to pump up my vitamin shakes.
After a few years of pruning, maybe I'll be able to train it as a nice bonsai with a cascade style. It will be beautiful in a pot loaded with fruit.
