Do these need to be rinsed before consumed?

Hello, Our goji are very clean. You can use them as snack and they do not need to be rinsed. If you use them to cook soup or congee, you could put them in water and soak for a while. But please do not use boiling water. Because soaking with boiling water might lead to the loss of goji nutrition. You might see flocculent substance when you soak the goji. It is normal phenomenon, please do not be worried. Because the substance is goji nutrient. Thanks!

No, in fact they clean up very well. I usually rinse mine as soon as I finish cooking, but even when don't they usually come clean after soaking for just a few minutes. I use a cleaning product called "Bar Keepers Friend" that was recommended for stainless steel anytime they start looking dull or anything, and they still look almost new.

I always soak them in warm soap water before I scrub. I do not have any issues with smell

They seem to be clean. Honestly, it did not occur to me to wash them because of their appearance but I did use them primarily for baking. I'll try them in water for a change of pace so thank you for that tip!

Yes. I throw them in a tub of soapy water and scrub them. Or, you can just throw them in the dish washer.

Although there is no smell or anything, I would say rinse first....especially if using for water. If using for packaged food ammo, etc. than no.

yes, I have put them in my dishwasher at times. Mostly I just wash them by hand though.

I wash them by hand. They would probably be fine on the dishwasher, but I rather not risk it.

No, they are reusable. However, they will need to be thoroughly cleansed after each use (salt build up and grime).

No, not before opening. After they are opened (if not finished) they need to be refrigerated.

One more thing...do not put them in the dishwasher. Wash them by hand in mild liquid soap.

They recommend washing before first use. Some I washed first, some I didn't. I didn't see a noticeable difference.

Nope. You should do 1 wash altogether to rinse them. If they were a natural fiber a lot of people would suggest the 6 washes but that's not fully necessary either. Natural fibers get more absorbent as you wash them so just doing the 1 wash and then using them is OK.

absolutely. i wash them by hand. I have used them numerous times since I purchased them last August.

Yes, I wash them on the top rack of the dishwasher (have done it for about 1-1/2 years). No problems!

It's not advised. I was worried about that when I purchased them however, due to the non-stick coating, cleaning them by hand is quick and simple. No scrubbing. I typically use warm water, a little soap and a paper towel.

i do not know. I usually just rinse them with warm water but I only keep coolaid or tea in them (cold). If there is a residue then I use a washcloth with a wee bit of soap. there is nothing on them to specify rather you can put them in the dish washer. sorry if that isn't helpful.
