I so wanted to like these berries but I cannot stand the taste. I still want to be able to eat them since they are so healthy. Any tips?

Goji extract in capsule form is sold right here on Amazon. You can probably get them at any health food store as well. I'm not sure if it reduces the health benefits though.

I'm not crazy about them plain either. I bought some chocolate covered Goji berries once and discovered that was a wonderful combination. I tried stirring in a few chocolate chips in a bag that had been sitting around with no interest. It disappeared quickly.

I put them in oatmeal health bars or use them like you would raisins. Put them with seeds and nuts in granola. I like them plain but they soften when you use them in a recipe that has mashed banana or applesauce.

I throw a handful into my oatmeal before I microwave it w/ diced walnuts as well with skim milk (maple/cinn flavor oatmeal).

Well, Corey I did some research and it appears that you may be on to something. Already purchased a gigantic package of Stevia In The raw, so I will likely ride it out. However, I am now on the lookout for a natural sugar substitute, any suggestions? Someone suggested Sweet Leaf brand but not sure about that either.

I've been taking them regularly for several years. I pop them just before lunch (other supplements before breakfast), I've never had an issue with after taste.My wife took them for a bit at random times and did complain about the after taste; I think the key is to have other "stuff" in the mix ! Take them just before a meal.

Actually they taste even more bitter than the ones you would find in a regular apricot....it needs some time getting used to, but if you mix it in with some other foods you won't taste the bitterness at all...!!!

I'm going to disagree with the above responses. It tastes EXACTLY like Crunch Berries in Cap'n Crunch cereal. Seriously, pop a couple of those in your mouth and you'll have a perfect representation of this flavor. That's not a bad thing (it's quite good in its own right), but it doesn't even remotely resemble Nestle/Hershey strawberry milk.

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.

I didn't have a bag of Goji Berries to see where they come from, so I went on line and looked them up. Looks like most come from China. Check Youtube, you can also grow your own. Sorry, I wasn't much help, but I do love them in my smoothies. You have to soak them in water to soften them if you want to eat them plain.

I have not ordered this in awhile. I just remember they were a bit moist and chewy. The others I have ordered are so dry and hard. You could also taste the berry.

I personally prefer the Apple berry as it tastes like Apple Jacks cereal. But, try each flavor. As with me, I found my favorite flavor to be the one I didn't think I'd try.

They have a terrible shelf life. Recommended to consume soon after opening to retain texture, and they are not kidding. Tried to open a few and slowly eat out of them over a few weeks for variety and they made a big lump in the can, like fused and smelling funny. So, bonus, they aren't lying about how natural this is!

Haha sorry you had to go through the experience of tasting this awful product! I have long since given up on this stuff- the only thing I've ever heard someone use it in and find it tolerable was in a chocolate protein smoothie (they wanted a hint of pb flavor) and even with all that flavor/sugar covering it up/helping it the person still could barely stand it. I threw mine out, it just wasn't worth trying to save for me. =p maybe slathering Nutella or something over it would help? (But uh...that sorta cancels out the whole point of this zero-calorie spread, doesn't it? Lol)

I think it will be fine. I mixed mine with some strawberries and yogurt and a little water and it was good. You might have to play with the proportions a bit to get the taste and consistency right. Hope it's good!

They are not completely dry and taste better than alternatives. I do not work for the grower nor distributor, so I cannot directly answer your question. What I do know is they are considered "wild" blueberries, which - after a 20 sec Google - gives this definition: http://www.wildblueberries.com/news/faqs.php

They are rich with so many vitamins and minerals and I have to say that although these are really delicious, my face gets beet red after I eat one or two and it makes me a little disoriented. It has become such a problem that I have decided to not eat them for now. This may be my personal issue - not sure if its the iron content in them or just what, but it is now a matter of concern. Sadly, because they really are delicious.

That's what I do. I mix it in with a bunch of fruit since I can't stand the taste on it's own. A teaspoon of each is more than enough for me.

It's an acquired taste sort of like wheatgrass. Try adding honey or raw Stevie it'll sweeten it somewhat but I've learned that the pros outweighs the taste. Because of the numerous bodily benefits after a while I just got use to the taste. Or try mixing non concentrated raw Apple juice...not so bad. Your body will thank you for it &#128515;&#128515;&#128515;&#128515;
