Have these been sweetened or soaked in sugar water before drying? I'm looking for straight dried goji berries.

These berries are sun dried and are very moist. I had called the company and the gentleman I spoke to was very cordial and helpful. He mentioned that people in China make tea using the berries and then they eat the berries. I also make tea and find it delicious. Tou can contact the manufacturer, RonTeeguarden's Dragon Herbs 1-888-55-TONIC. Hope this helps.

Mine are gone at the moment I have to get more, but I do not believe they are sweetened, they are moist sort of like a raisin in consistency, I have had other brands and they were dried up like goji jerky, I hated them! These are very tasty and good for you!

I don't think they have been. They're not very sweet. They are, however, quite sticky and have tiny seeds in them which stick to your gums and and teeth. Hope this helps!

They haven't been soaked in sugar- they are just strait dried ( but moist) goji berries.

Ah, so they are not whole but in pieces? I use the whole ones wherein there are also some bits and pieces in all our breads, muffins and stuffings (now that Thanksgiving is upon us). I'm also using them in fruit cakes. Last year, I reconstituted them a little in water. Then when they had received good moisture, I dried them off and added them to syrup (which was just boiled sugar). They made a pretty and sweet topping to pumpkin pie and mashed sweet potatoes. I do hope this was some help and if not, don't hesitate to ask me. A pleasure to try to answer. All best and Happy Thanksgiving.

No these are not already moistened, I just dip them in a cup of water and use, it's a sponge so they absorb liquid.

No. They are pure fruit pure with no added sugar (I can only speak for the passion fruit and guava).

I don't know but these berries are hard and dry and kind of tart or sour, not very sweet; there is no way they are going to go bad, I think they would keep for a really long time. I haven't even tried eating them the way they are, by the way; I re-hydrate them first in water, then put them in the blender with some other fruit.

You can soak some of them in the boiled water, and wait for about ten minutes, then drink the water, (do not eat the berry). It has been pre-washed.

I still have a few from over a year ago. Although I haven't tasted them, they still look the same, and my guess is, that due to the hard nature of the sugar, and the fact that they are decorations, you don't have to worry about them disintegrating any time soon! :)

NO. I have found them @ Amazon in a syrup that is wonderful in drinks and on cheese cake but these are dried for making a wonderful tea especially when sweetened with honey or a flavored syrup.

I'm pretty sure the answer is no, they are not sweetened, but I do remember Bob's Red Mill Raisins are preservative free and they were a very good price.

What do you mean rehydrated? They are standard dried plums. I would say it's a good balance between moist and dry. I hope it helps!

I've ordered these several times and never got any dried ones. They are delicious. They do dry out slowly after being opened.

Yes. You probably need to soak them for awhile to plump them up. I haven't tried it but read good comments about cooking the berries in sugar and cornstarch (a base of maybe water?) To thicken the filling up.

these are just dried strawberries. it doesn't have sugar, it's not carmalized, fermented, or oiled, etc. jut plain good ol fashioned dried berries of the straw. the fruit juices would be the natural remaining juices of the dried product. i have tried drying strawberries, but the ants consumed my box.

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!

I ate them right out of the bag. They are dried. This was the cheapest I had found them and I am still kicking!
