Goji berries · Names, material and mix-ups
Gou qi zi is the dried ripe fruit in the PolyU entry. UTEP discusses fruit, root bark and leaves separately. A packet of berries must not be treated as equivalent to root bark, a tablet or a mixed juice product.
Goji berries · Traditional explanation, with attribution
PolyU lists the fruit as sweet and neutral in its traditional classification, with liver and kidney meridian associations. These are terms of the traditional system, not claims that a food serving repairs those anatomical organs.
