Has anyone tried these. I picked them up in Tesco but at £8.99 for 250g, I put them back. I've read about them having loads of vitc and being really good for you.

Are they painted with gold?

They taste pretty grim to be honest and originated in the Amazon I believe.They have the highest ORAC (anti-oxidant test)of any food....followed closely byt Acai berry and purple grape.

oki doki well for a while blueberries were the "super berry" these ones are even better antioxidents ...still damn expensive at the mo ..maybe get them in drink form ...cheaper

WishICouldGiveUpWork · 27/09/2006 17:15

I'd stick with bluberries myself-at least they are a pleasure to eat...

I've a half eaten packet in my cupboard ... and they've been there for about 4 months. Think that says it all!

They taste slightly like unsulphured dried apricots but somehow a little darker. Our local health food shops had samples on the counter. At that price, I wouldn't buy them for tastealone, but they are okay.

I bought some, meaning to put them into muesli, but haven't yet. Are they v chewy?

FrannyandZooey · 30/09/2006 08:04

Ooh something odd and healthy I have not heard of. Can we try them at your house NQC?

NotQuiteCockney · 30/09/2006 08:18

Sure, they're sitting in a cupboard.

They were kinda gross. Not inedible exactly, but not tasty, and overly chewy. And they tasted like tea.

FrannyandZooey · 02/10/2006 09:07

They were odd and a bit worthy. But it was good to try them

NotQuiteCockney · 02/10/2006 09:47

Are you sitting in a web cafe? Or does the hotel have wireless?

How am I supposed to come on and spread scurrilous rumours about you and Greensleeves, if you're actually online?

FrannyandZooey · 03/10/2006 08:50

Heh, there are 2 pcs in the place where you have breakfast. There are all these business men waiting to send important emails, and me and Greeny fighting them off in order to post on MN
