Navitas Naturals Organic Goji Berries, 8-Ounce Pouches, 8 Servings (Pack of 2)

I have been eating goji berries since a friend gave some to my brother when he was undergoing chemotherapy. They are less sweet and smaller than raisins and I find them quite tasty. At first, the taste was unfamiliar, so it took a little getting used to. They can also be a bit drier than other dried fruit. One of the best things about them is how they affect my energy level. I have a friend who uses a supplement made up mostly of ground up goji berries (also known as wolfberries) He lost a lot of weight, his skin got really healthy and started to glow and his energy was notably clearer. His improved health was so obvious, I noticed it before he even said that he was doing anything different and had to ask him what had changed.These goji berries are well packaged and this is a better price than I was able to find elsewhere.

This is my first time buying and using goji berries, so I don't have another brand to compare these to, but the price on these is fantastic and they are really tasty. When they arrived, I was worried that they would taste/feel dry and gritty in the mouth, but the taste is subtle and blends into whatever food they're mixed into.My favorite ways to use them so far are mixing them into oatmeal, adding them to protein smoothies, and mixing them into a granola and Greek yogurt combination.I had read online that eating about 1-2 tablespoons a day allows for maximum benefit. Since they are pretty expensive, I use about 1/2 to 1 tablespoon a day.Enjoy!

I *love* goji berries and planned to use these for smoothies. I've eaten goji berries frequently in oatmeal, muffins, etc, as I used to purchase them from a bulk bin at my local health food store in CA. I moved, though, and needed to find a new source. I thought these would be a good deal b/c of the awesome price, but they are TERRIBLE tasting--for one, they're so hard (they're sundried) that it hurt my teeth to try to chew them. Then, when I did eat a few, they had such a bizarre, chemical-ish taste (they tasted kind of like the way melting plastic smells), that I became concerned and decided to throw them away rather than eat them. Amazon does not allow returns for this item (grocery). They were nice enough to give me a refund (unexpected!). Sadly, these are in the trash, and I will not be purchasing them again.Added on Jan 30, 2011: If you read the reviews on this product carefully, you'll notice that many of the 4 and 5 star reviews sound like they were written by people responding to a Mechanical Turk assignment asking them to review the product. Most of the 4 and 5 star reviews don't say that the reviewer has actually purchased the product--they just contain general, positive info about goji berries.

They are crunchy and dissolve when you bite them. Of course, this also affects the taste.In the past, I've bought many varieties while living in Europe, where Goji berries are wide-spread. They should be slightly chewy.Will not be buying again.--As an update, the first bag I bought was crunchy. The second bag that came in the package was a bit more chewy, but still stale. But because the quality doesn't seem to be consistent, I will be trying other brands--So I tried the Sunfoods goji berries on Amazon. They are great and not stale at all. The downside is that the Sunfoods currently cost twice the amount as the Navitas, but the bag lasts me 3 months and the extra taste and freshness is well worth it. They even taste good out of the bag, which is not something I could claim with Navitas. I'll definitely not be going back to Navitas.

Yeah, I have to agree: I was pretty disappointed after seeing Dr. Oz munch them out of the bag and declare them "tasty" as did a couple other of his guests (I mean, come on--what were they going to say when you asked them what they thought, Dr. O? "Yuk!"??? Well, being a dried cranberry lover, I expected to like these and found I had to force myself to continue to eat them. Putting them in other food mostly masks the weird, indescribable taste going down but does nothing to rid you of the nasty after taste. Wish I'd read the reviews before buying. As for the positive reviews--I agree, most of the 4 and 5 star reviews just talk about the benefits of gogi berries in general. I gave it 3 stars b/c of the supposed health benefits but for taste, I'd only give it one. Buyer beware!Navitas Naturals Organic Goji Berries Himalayan Superfruit, 16-Ounce Pouch

If you are looking for those sugar laden dried fruit snacks at your local mega-mart, these aren't those. Were I to describe the flavor profile of these, it would be from savory to plain.These are however, a great addition and compliment to your breakfast or desert meals. I actually incorporated these into a dried fruit compote recipe not long ago (soaked the berries in merlot - had a bottle open) with some apricots with organic honey.... YUM!Vitamin content is good. Snacking fruit these are not - I like 'em for that though. Troubling that a review from 4 years ago is still on top.'Wolfberry' as these are known naturally are a good health food.

I've been eating Goji berries for 5 or so years, and trying different brands, if the price isn't too exorbitant. These are easily as good as the brand I settled on for the combination of freshness and price. Some goji berries can be like small pebbles in your moiuth. old and dry is what i'm thinking. Some brands think you'll pay twice as much as the others. NOT ME!!!! A very good value buying the 2-packs which are 1-LB. navitas goji berries has a returning customer. ME!!
