dried goji berries - do they taste nice ?

[MaryAnnSingleton]

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

They are really vile, yuk

I LOVE them - and so do DSs (4 and 2). So there!

hey swampster, you seem to be the only one who thinks they're nice - I will let ds get some anyway !

ok, I have bought them with his money - we will both try them at tea time...

Get the chocolate covered ones!
Me & DH like them. They aren't as bitter as cranberrys, but not as sweet as raisins. They are quite tough to chew though.
They are actually called Wolf berries in UK, but I guess Goji berries sound more exotic. Hope you and DS like them!

well he is eating a small bowl full - I've had 2 and they are quite bitter aren't they ? chocolate covered sounds good !
He says he might prefer them fresh as goji berry juice is nice. He has finished them !

The chocolate covered ones were on special offer at Julian Greaves. £1.99 for a bag. I haven't seen the juice, but they do sell the seeds so you could grow your own Goji plant. Glad you didn't waste "his" money buying them.

I'll keep putting them out in a bowl until they're gone - he didn't have to eat them but did,so they can't be that awful

the juice was mixed with some other fruit juice -possibly mango, so maybe that's why he liked it !!

Just read about them having lots of tannin in which makes sense with what I was going to say - taste likes a dried out old tea bag

they cost £3.99 - we're going to have to persevere
