Goji Berries, or Lycium Barbarum, have long-been nutritional supplements for middle-aged and elderly people in China.

But now, the dried berries are starting to catch on in other places, including the United States, the UK, Canada and Australia for their ability to increase people's energy, enhance immune systems and help prevent health problems.

But unlike the tradition in China of adding the Goji berries to teas and soups, the Goji berry is now being added to a variety of dishes in other countries.

A #Gojiberries hashtag is also inspiring new attempts at consuming the fruit, with health food enthusiasts adding them to hempseed salads, avocado sandwiches and broccoli smoothies.
