Kurt üzümü- Goji berry - Wolf berry (Lycium barbarum)

[polatuz]

Aşağıda linkini verdiğim blog, goji berrynin batı ülkelerinde büyük bir pazarlama sahtekarlığının konusu olduğunu kanıtlarıyla birlikte açıklıyor. Tibet gojisinin Çin wolfberrysinden farklı olduğunu iddia eden, Tibet'te Dalai Lama himayesinde kurulan kooperatif yoluyla organik gojiberry üretildiğini iddia eden gojiberry.com ve tanaduk.com sitelerinin pazarlama sahtekarlığı olduğunu açıklıyor. Gerçekte Tibet köylüleri gojiberryi ya hiç tanımıyorlarmış, **** kuşlara yediriyorlarmış.

In December last year, Simon Parry, a journalist for the South China Morning Post, actually went to Tibet in search of the goji, to the very region advertised as the font of the berry by the Tibet Authentic company. The folk at Tibet Authentic (whose website describes getting a prescription from a certified medical doctor, rather than drinking goji juice, as a "quick fix") refused to take Parry to their goji or tell him where he might find it, so he asked around: Tibetan medicine stores in Lhasa had never heard of Tibetan goji berries; a traditional medicine expert in Nyingtri, while confirming that berries grew in the region, declared it "impossible" that they could be exported on such a scale; an elderly nomadic couple, who had spent 60 years wandering the mountain valleys, did not recognise the goji berries when shown a picture of them.

"A pig farmer who guided us there," wrote Parry, "was perplexed at our interest. 'Sometimes, if there are many berries, we pick them and sell them in the town,' said Penba Niyama, 42. 'But Tibetan people don't buy them ... we just leave them for the birds to eat.' When I told him people in the west paid the equivalent of 140 yuan for a small bag of the berries, he shook with laughter. 'People there must be very strange,' he said."
