dried goji berries - do they taste nice ?

[MaryAnnSingleton]

before I buy a bag for ds who has asked for them ? thanks !

I think they taste like some sort of animal droppings but apparently they are very good for you.

they look like orange droppings,I must say, but taste ?

I think it was here that I read that they taste like poisoned raisins.

With that in mind i've never bought any!

not that I've tasted droppings of course, but I think I spat out my muesli and said something along the lines of 'that tastes like goat's shit' which was the best thing I could think of to describe something revolting.

someone must've tasted them though !

rough as old boots

no

oh dear, ds is very keen to have them - don't want to spend nearly £3 if they are foul

They are foul. I have a bag minus 3 in the kitchen. I should just give them to the birds.

you have to get them I reckon. Better to let him try and decide himself what he thinks.

Someone bought me some on a date actually, which was an interesting present. I did eat them and the children tried them too. I didn't feel they were anything particularly special. Don't taste as nice as blueberries which are one of my favourite foods.

oh I know I'll have to get them ( or he will with his pocket money) just so we can get it out of the way ! he might like them as he is fond of odd things- green tea, whole lemons etc

they are foul, sorry, and quite a strong, bitter? taste, I heard that you can soak them to plump them up a bit, which might be better.... or mix them in yogurt or something...

Oh well I think they're quite nice; and considering how good they are for you...my kids hate them though, they're dry.

I think they're disgusting, they taste as I would imagine the bottom of a hamster's cage to taste.

They are too bitter for me

i have them quite a bit, and you get used to the taste. They have a bitterness but are quite nice. They were on offer at tescos so you could try them for just over a quid.

Just re-read your post. DS won't like them I dont think.

the first one is fine, and then you get an unpleasant aftertaste, and really dont want any more.

Then the bag sits in your fridge for 3 months.
Then you throw it out.

they are gross. i found a bag that was gone-off in my cupboard a few weeks ago. couldn't eat them. waste of ten, yes TEN, euro.

Lots of tannin in them, I think? Not very nice.

aDAD I agree
I got some and the 1st one is ok but then afterwards they are horrible

but i mixed up some with nuts and raiins and bolueberries and ineapple stuff and seeds etc and then ok

thanks all, it's his money I suppose,so if he really wants them ! he will suck bits of lime so he likes bitter tart stuff

They are horrible, very bitter and nasty. Even dh who eats all sorts of odd asian dried and preserved fruit stuff didn't like them.

Revolting!
