MORE ON THE GOJI BERRIES

I've had a few questions on the Goji Berries so here are the answers...... Yes, I've seen them in the Bulk bins at local Health Food stores and realized after purchasing my regular bag that I should have gone with the Bulk Bins instead.

Hubby is still on the Goji kick.. Munching through out the day.  Now calling them "GO GO BERRIES"  I however am not Hugely fond of the taste but it is growing on me.  I do like them mixed with things which was my intention when purchasing them. 

As for how they taste or what I could compare them to?  ...  At first they don't have much flavor.  And then there is an after taste that is sort of bitter and sort of sweet at the same time.  The texture is like any other dried fruit....  Nothing fancy....but they are packed with lots of good stuff.

I would definitely start with a few from the bulk bin before spending a lot of money in case you don't like them...

Today, my Vegman took a liking to the berries....Soon he had his own little container that he carried with him.... But in true Vegman fashion, he only ate until he was full and saved the rest for later (I wish I had that trait)

 

So we'll continue to eat and buy them, I'm sure of that... Whether or not they keep me "Young" and all the bad ailments away, that is still yet to be learned.

This is the first article I've seen about them that shows any side effects... Worth reading if you take other medicines.

Hi vegmom!
You asked about my bulk goji berries on my blog, and I answered you in the comments section, in case you're interested. I buy mine in 10 pound bags :) We are goji fans!
My baby is a goji lover too, she'll eat them by the pudgy fistfuls!
Happy long weekend!

I think I might have had these in a raw mixed nut and fruit mix...not sure if it's the same thing though.

I've never had them plain. They were mixed in a shake I got at a Juice bar I went to a while back but now I think I'll try them.
