An expensive but healthy food,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Navitas Naturals Organic Goji Berries Himalayan Superfruit, 16-Ounce Pouch (Grocery)
These berries are thought to be one of the one of the healthiest natural foods. There are many "stories" about the amazing benefits of these berries, many of which may be true, but a few verifiable facts about them (in dried form) follow:
1) High protein (about 12%), and are a complete protein. This is good for anybody, but particularly noteworthy to vegans, who choose not to get their protein from meats. 2) Decent fiber content (about 10%) 3) 18 (!!) amino acids 4) Like most sweet fruits, high in carbs and calories. 100 grams give you about 350-380 calories; roughly 3/4 from carbs and 1/4 from fat. 5) 6 vitamins, 8 amino acids, 11+ minerals (more in trace amounts) 6) Carotenoids, unsaturated fatty acids (this is a good thing), phytosterols (help lower cholesterol), and other healthy (or theoretically healthy but not particularly well researched) phytochemicals. Enough with the technical jargon. These berries are great in cereal, smoothies (once hydrated), and tea. For tea, try this: Put water, a small number of berries (6-15ish) and a teabag in your cup, microwave for about a minute per teacup (time varies), drop a small amount in your favorite tea along with the teabag and let the berries and tea steep for about 3 minutes. This adds a subtle character to green tea (plus an unusual, tasty snack to do with a few of the sips). The flavor seems to blend well with chai and jasmine too. This may work differently for those who use creamer. I recommend that you try a bag, keeping in mind that you may need to soak the berries in water/tea/whatever in order to make them soft, and see what you think. I have found they make a great addition to my usual cereal-only breakfast because they give me a much-needed protein boost. If you like them quite a lot, you may want to take the time to look for a supply in a nearby Asian foods store. I have heard they can be purchased at a lower cost in bulk.

The Ultimate Berry,
This review is from: Navitas Naturals Organic Goji Berries Himalayan Superfruit, 16-Ounce Pouch (Grocery)
Having consumed Himalania Goji Berries for over one year, the Navitas Naturals Goji Berry is a great addition to the exotic food market. The Navitas Goji is harder and drier than the Himalania Goji, but the flavor is much sweeter and better tasting.
I love the fact that they're raw, vegan, sun-dried, and free of chemicals and pesticides! Goji berries are believed to strengthen the immune system, increase energy and reduce fatigue, and reduce the threat of free radicals (due to HIGH levels of antioxidants). Gojis have highest ORAC score to date! The ORAC scale is a standardized test used to measure the total antioxidant potency of foods and nutritional supplements. Definitely, one of my favorite foods!

Tasty berries!,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Navitas Naturals Organic Goji Berries Himalayan Superfruit, 16-Ounce Pouch (Grocery)
These supposedly have some of the highest levels of antioxidants of any food, which is why I bought them. But I really like the taste too. It's not too far off from a cross between a tomato and a strawberry, but a very little bit bitter at times.
Overall they taste great, though some kids might not like them due to the slight bitterness. Edit: A few of these berries have a bit of mold on them. I would reduce my ranking by 1 star if I could.
