I can't speak to health benefits, but I eat these when I have strong sugar cravings and feel filled and no longer crave sweets. They are tart with small seeds, not for everyone but worth trying!

They're almost like a sour candy. I really like them, the wife not so much.

I had been eating Goji berries for some time when I decided to try a few other super-fruits. after reading about the anti-viral and anti-inflamatory properties of Golden berries (or the Cape Gooseberry) I decided to order some from amazon. I figured they would be a nice compliment to the nutritional aspects of the goji berry.

Well, after having been eating 1-2 bag a month for a year I can say this is one of the most flavorful fruits I have ever had. I find them to have a great texture and they are very sweet and surprisingly sour. I like to think of them as "Nature's sweet tarts".You really just can't find a better tasting dried fruit if you like sour candies!

They seem to have helped with migraines and headaches in that they occur dramaticaqlly less. I also have not had many colds, with only 2 for the past year. When I think of eating them I get that sour-sense feeling behind jaw and below the ears.

Now, I do alot more to ensure great health than eat just these berries, as I do not inted to give the idea these are alone will ease your ailments. These are just so delicious though, you will really like the thought they are good for you too! They do offer nice health benefits and are quite satisfying to my hunger. Don't hesitate to get a bag!

Amazingly addictive healthy snack food! Also good with chocolate, so how can you go wrong?

I like gooseberries but was curious how that would translate to a dried product. Guess what? Dried gooseberries taste like regular gooseberries. It's mostly just a texture difference, but these dried Navitas "Goldenberries" are nice and moist and otherwise exactly like the fresh version. If you've never had gooseberries, they're a bit sour with a hint of sweet and have tiny seeds inside that are fun to chew on if you're at all interested in that sort of thing.

If you get over the price, this is a great healthy snack. I don't eat them straight as they are too tart, but the make a great trail mix when mixed with granola, nuts, etc.

The first one I tried I wasn't sure what to think of it. I got a lot of different flavors and textures all at once. I first thought it was soft and chewy, then tasted sweet, then sour, leaving you then with a little bit of a crunch due to there being small seeds inside the goldenberry. the seeds are easy to chew so those aren't a problem. the combination of flavors and textures makes this berry addicting! Goldenberries are about the size of a large raisin. Because of the seeds I don't think small kids would like this, the sour taste with the texture of being left with the seeds would be too weird for the little ones. but great for adults or any health minded individual, this is a good alternative to candy. I've eaten some everyday since I got them in the mail!

I like having 'healthy' snacks in my desk at work and recently discovered Goldenberries. Dried fruit often has sugar or sulfites adde but these are labeled as vine-ripened and the only ingredient is goldenberries (also known as gooseberries). I love the tart taste. If you like Sour Patch Kids, this snack will be right up your alley, and healthy! I hate raisins, they are too sweet. So, if you like sour and tangy snacks, try these. Also a great value in the 16 oz size resealable bag. Have been buying smaller bags at Whole Foods and Rainbow Grocery and this is considerably cheaper, especially if you opt for the auto delivery. I was afraid to order online in case they were not soft (because of how long they may be in the warehouse) but these are even fresher than the ones I bought at the local store. I have noticed that these berries do have a very long shelf life in any case.

Whenever I eat a handful of Goldenberries at work, my spirit is instantly lifted! The perfect combination of sweet and sour taste is just so stimulating!

I ordered this item after trying Kopali brand of Goldenberries bought from Whole Foods. To my dismay the quality and freshness of Navitas Goldenberries were not as good as Koplai. These berries tasted a bit bitter, and not as juicy.
