All i have to say is... OMG. This is the best natural dried fruit I have ever had. Not too sweet and taste very natural, as it is.

I ordered this for the first time, and LOVED it!  First off, persimmons are kind of a weird fruit, so don't buy a large bag unless you know you like the fruit.  If you do, this dried version is so delicious. Its the perfect chewy snack.

I am, as I type, eating my very first goji berries from any company. I am ONLY eating them because they are suppose to be so healthful. While certainly not vile tasting, they are not a snack I would call very appealing to the average American palate.

They are a bit dry but tender and sweet enough to eat a little bit on an ongoing basis so as to derive their health benefits.

My first impression was they taste like a "feral" cranberry. I can see adding them to trail mix, salads, stir fries, hot oatmeal, smoothies, stews etc. They do leave an aftertaste but you can eat them plain if keep it to small amounts.

I've recently taken having organic unfiltered honey in my tea in lieu of sugar or Splenda and I can see eating a few goji berries before having my tea so as to minimize the aftertaste.

They are nicely packaged in a zip lock type bag that is half silvery and half clear plastic.  For a package received 5/31/08, it is marked with a sell by date of 10/8/09. Package says to store in cool, dark, dry place.  The product is very clean with no added bits from the rest of the plant.

I can't see any reason not to recommend this particular brand if you want to start incorporating goji berries into your diet.

ADDENDUM: after opening the pouch several more times,the first-time aftertaste is all but gone. The berries are actually now quite tame in flavor. They remain chewy. I eat them now plain as a snack - about a tablespoon at a time.

I originally bought this thinking that it was dried fruit snacks. I don't have any children but I figured I might as well try it since I had it in the house anyways. It is absolutely delicious. I really really loved this snack.

I was very pleased with my shipment of Gogi berries.  They are dried berries and rather hard but I find that soaking them overnight in cold water in the fridge makes very dark juice which I drain off and drink, then I put the berries, that are very tender after soaking, into my smoothie.  The berries could be put in hot cakes, muffins or cakes.  They do not change the taste to any extent but are full of nutritive value and so is the soaking water... I am very happy with them and will buy them again.

I'm glad I bought the dried cranberries. I received a lot. I put a cup + 1/4 cup of water and some Stevia for sweetener in the fridge. They take the water and triple size. I know I have real cranberries in my yogurt in the morning, and they taste so real! I bake with it, like I add it to banana bread. I stir them on the stove to boil 1 min. so they can blow and get tender. I add a little brown sugar and let them sit for an half hour. It's great because I can store them in the pantry and take the quantity that I want. Very good in smoothies too! Remember to add water and to let them in the fridge for a day before to eat them. I recommend it!

I have tried so many hand creams because my hands are very dry and this is a fantastic one. It really heals your skin of dryness... and it feels and smells like a natural product.

I tried Coconut water for the very first time ever this past May while my mother and I were on vacation in Hawaii. We had been shopping all day and were exhausted and thirsty for a nice refreshing beverage. We approached a Smoothe and Fresh Squeezed Juice Hut and my mother happen to notice that they had fresh Coconut Juice.
It at the time did not sound very tasty to me but my mother insisted on trying it. The gentleman behind the counter explained to us that he would take a fresh Coconut that had been chilled and cut the top off and insert a straw and serve it to you. Talking about fresh Coconut water from the one and only original source. WOW! It tasted so good. The gentleman then proceeded to educate us all about the Coconut and it's many uses it has to not only treat dehydration,but all sorts of eliments in the human body.
He went on to tell us that his people used Coconuts hundreds of years ago,before of course there was what we today call conventional Medicine. He continued to explain the Coconuts many uses and as we so eagerly and were very much interested in what he had to say read right along with him. He said Coconut Water is a all natural sterile and antibacterial water as well. It is also has no calories or fat. I suffer from a rare bone disease that keeps me so dehydrated and I have never until on this day actual found a all natural God given fruit juice that has been in front of my very eyes all this time and never would I have thought it would make a significant difference in my overall well being and how I felt after drinking one. I was magically hydrated again,just that fast. I could actually feel myself,feeling better and having more energy and I don't have to take naps anymore either. Whenever I feel like I am starting to get dehydrated,I go to the refrigirator and open me O.N.E. of these amazingly awesome flavored Coconut waters and I have also tried them all. Before you knew it I was feeling much better. So I have to say THANK YOU!! to the person or persons who came up with the idea to package this Amazing water and make it avaible to all of us who not only love the taste of this Magical water,but can also feel the positive affects it has on our body! So I say to all of you out there drink up and feel great!

These dried cherries are the plump and juicy kind, not the hard dry kind. I put them in my snack mix with nuts. They last a long time because I don't need many due to their large size and powerful burst of flavor in the mix.  I highly recommend Gerb's dried cherries.  The price is more than reasonable for the quality, speedy delivery, and flavor.

This is absolutely the best fruit spread I have ever purchased. All natural and a taste unlike any other. I purchased it in a store locally, and they don't have it anymore, and I wasn't even interested in purchasing any other brand! Once you taste this spread, especially for the holidays, all of your kids and family will give you Strawberry kisses!!!!

Both my husband and I enjoy dried fruit.  When I came across this item it looked so good, plus it had been awhile since I had bought any dried fruit, that I just had to try it.  Now I have bought enough edible gifts online that I am well aware that the end product does not always match the photo. That's why I hesitate to send food items as gifts unless I am familiar with the product myself.  End result of this purchase?
1) looks just like the photo
2) arrived quickly
3) ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS.
I was surprised by both the amount of fruit it contained in the tray and the excellent quality of the fruit. It has some of the best dried apple slices I have ever eaten.  I would not hesitate to send this as a gift to anyone, friends or relative, and would love to be on the receiving end also.  Given the quality of the product, its quick arrival, and its 'truth in advertising (photo)' the reasonable price is also a pleasant surprise.  I'll be ready for my next order before very long.

The best jerky I've found. It's very moist and tender and lots of flavor! I love the fact that it's all natural.

I have to say....I have tried many canned salmons before, but this one is notably fresher and more natural tasting than most. Im in love. Its not too fishy, not too salty, and I cant feel much guilt at all given its boastful nutritional value. I keep these at work so I can pop one open when I want a high protein snack. I cant find anything better. I find myself craving them throughout the day--its flaky, really moist, and very clean tasting.

Amazing stuff with a little pepper and crackers!

These are sweet dried mango fruit in largish slices.  They have a moderate amount of sugar coating.  They make a really sweet treat.  The thinnest ends of the slices are fibrous and tougher than the thicker centers, which are sweet and easy to chew.  They would be great added to bread recipes, chopped up in a steaming bowl of oatmeal, or packed on a hike for a trail treat.  The servings indicated per bag say about 9 servings of 8 pieces per serving.  This can't be accurate as the slices are fairly large and thick.  There aren't 72 pieces in each bag.  That said, they are very high quality dried fruit slices.  They are beyond delicious.

This stuff is amazing!!! It is the best all natural deodorant and even helps me feel dry. I work out and I do't smell bad afterwards . I am definitely repurchasing this over and over.

I got these dried pears because my usual brand was out of stock. I was very pleasantly surprised because these are more moist and sweet than the others.  I would definitely get them again.

I don't care if this is from Brazil, Indonesia, or the Philippines this stuff is great! I have had some of the best real coconut water (straight from the tree) from Fiji and Tonga. This coconut water is comparable, and tastes really nice.

I work out a lot and have one of these straight after due to the high amount of natural electrolytes. I find that I recover a lot better and quicker from this, compared to vitamin water. Plus this is natural!

The shelf life is pretty good, but its best to keep it in the fridge.

I will definitely buy this again.
