There is also the goji berry, also known as Lycium barbarum, containing up
to 500 times more vitamin C than an orange, and is native to the Tibetan
Himalayas. It has been used for medicinal purposes in China for centuries.
When I was in China this past April, they served these berries for our
breakfast.

There is a big problem in the U.K. right now with people bringing the plants
back.  They are afraid that because this plant belongs to the Solanaceae
family that the bugs that are on them can travel on the goji plants and
infect potatoes and tomato crops.

Dear garden writers,

Do you know which cultivated fruit has the highest vitamin C content?

If not, see this week's interesting fruit fact in Fruitipedia.
