Gregggggggggg Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Does anybody eat goji berries? I'm considering ordering some to try in a smoothie, and I'm interested in any information about these berries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harley Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Yes, i eat them and love them.I eat a big handful before a bike ride and/or weight workout and they seem to give me a little extra boost. They seem to taste like a mix of cranberry and raisin. I never put them in anything though. Just eat them alone or with some almonds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I love them but they cost millions of dollars so I only snag them from friends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty Cakes Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 the price is outrageous but, people say they are amazing. I think raw spinach and kale is just as amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oregonisaac Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 the price is outrageous but, people say they are amazing. I think raw spinach and kale is just as amazing. So true, and I think goji berries taste like a greenfood anyway, just smaller and more expensive. Then again, I understand the antioxidant content is amazing, then again, you can not get them fresh and local like kale and spinach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bighead Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 you can get the same high antioxident content from palm fruit or hibiscus. elder berries. black currants. honestly, most berries are super high. i think that goji berries are a successful marketing ploy. with the amount available, the price should come down. if they tasted better or were prooven to grow ten pounds of muscle, i would eat them at this price, but unless that happens, i agree with whoever said it above... i only snag them from friends...

Guest Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 The real key is selling the idea of eating them to friends so they always have them around...then you make the feel guilty by saying you should share these with me since I'm basically giving you years of extra life(not that thats true but it may work) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemo Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 hi folks, goji/lyceum berries actually are an excellent food/medicinal herb. especially in (not raw) teas. you can get them for about $8-$10 a pound in various china towns all over the country. (they sell 'em for $2 a pound for lower quality ones.) of course we all know that you can't trust chinese people to sell "PURE RAW 100% ORGANIC HIGH VIBRATION MONOATOMIC BLAH BLAH BLAH" unlike white people who sell us raw super-duper foods, who are completely trustworthy in all things always... it says so right here on this package! ...no really, i've found superb quality (better than raw website's versions) goji berries in chinatown for $8 a pound.

Michelle Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Weirdos. I got curious and bought a bag of Goji berries at Whole Foods Market the other day. I hope they have a whole lot of good-for-me stuff in them, because the flavor doesn't impress me much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemo Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 please.... don't pay the 'white people's price' they're going to charge you at wholefoods... get it much cheaper... just because something says 'raw' on the package doesn't make it so... here's a little info about lycium/goji http://www.dragonherbs.com/herbs/herbs.asp?herb_id=13163 the price gouging by marketteers really baffles me. do people really think nobody will look this stuff up for themselves?

Guest Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 I don't really think that the berries being raw or not matters for the price. Even if they weren't raw I don't think dried is all that much better...fresh would be a different story though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamela Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 My bunny is a huge fan of goji berries. she only eats a few at a time so the bag lasts forever. I'm not crazy about them myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawrnr Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I buy mine at the chinese market for PEANUTS.... Ya, they do not say organic. I ran into a naturopath there who noticed the bags inmy cart,,,he introduced himself and said he has ppl in his practice buy these... They are like red raisons...not a plump, with more seeds in em, and NOT sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princessbee Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 I have a small spoonful most mornings in an energy mix that includes maca, mesquite, bee pollen, dulse, msm sulphur and cinnnamon... i like them... the cost isn't really an issue for me... i think they do make a difference... but i put more focus on getting lots of fresh fruit than just supplements. a lot of people report feeling amazing differences on them, one girl i know thought they made her boobs bigger! if you like goji berries try fresh strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries blended with ice... honey/agave optional... amazing.
