Gojis - 2 lb

I’ve tried a few different brands of dried goji berries over the years, and these Viva Naturals Organic Dried Goji Berries (1 lb) are one of the better ones I’ve had. The berries are soft and chewy rather than overly dry, with a pleasant sweet-tart flavor that makes them easy to snack on by the handful. The berries look clean and well sorted with very few stems or broken pieces. The resealable pouch is also a nice touch because it keeps them fresh after opening. These goji berries are USDA organic, non-GMO, vegan, and gluten-free, which makes them a convenient snack for a variety of diets. Taste & Texture The flavor is mildly sweet with a slightly tangy finish. If you’ve never had goji berries before, the taste is somewhere between a cranberry and a raisin. They’re chewy but not tough, which I appreciate because some brands can be overly dry. Ways I’ve Used Them Goji berry tea (steeped in hot water for about 10 minutes) Tossed into oatmeal and yogurt Mixed into trail mix with nuts and dark chocolate Added to smoothies and baked goods They add a nice pop of color and flavor to breakfast bowls. Nutrition Goji berries are often considered a “superfood” because they contain nutrients like iron, fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants. � Viva Naturals Minor Note The berries are naturally sticky, which is normal for dried fruit, but if you prefer a firmer texture you might want to store them in the fridge. Final Thoughts Overall, this is a solid, high-quality bag of organic goji berries. If you enjoy dried fruit snacks or want a nutritious addition to smoothies, oatmeal, or tea, this 1-lb bag offers good value and flavor. ⭐ Rating: 5/5 ✔ Good flavor and texture ✔ Organic and clean ingredients ✔ Versatile for tea, snacks, and baking

Best tasting goji berries I have ever tried! My grandmother used to put goji berries in her chicken soup when I was growing up, but I never liked goji berries. Now I'm older, I thought to try it for its health benefits. OMG, these are sooo plump, juicy, and sweet and fun to eat! I'd put them in my morning hot collagen water along with some chia seeds, then I'd add some 100% pomegranate juice. I'd also put them in hotpot or Asian instant noodle soup. You are supposed to soak them in hot water/soup (savory or sweet) before consumption - that's how we eat them. Even when eating them dry, they tasted fine like dried fruits. However, poor quality ones that you buy from Chinatown can feel and taste like rocks when you try them without soaking.

Although if you were to notice that I usually don't leave a negative type of review , when it comes to a item such as this that I use in a food as medicine type of way I don't hesitate to make it appearent that I am completely satisfied, I purchased this product for this exact type of situation ( natural health and wellness practices) and I am completely satisfied , I have not only quickly restored my iron level , I also use it in other ways such as a certain type of tea some of you may be familiar with , it's a mixture of goji berries and chrysanthemum flowers used as a tea , I'm also completely satisfied with the benefits of what that practice is usually used for , in conclusion I'm completely satisfied from all aspects of the purchase , from the price to the quality and the amount , all the way to even the delivery of the product , I literally have nothing even slightly negative to say about this product , I look forward to future purchases whenever needed , thank you for a very welcomed and outstanding product.

pros: I adore this product. I like to blend up a couple Tsps or Tbsps of gojis and coco nibs in a coffee grinder (separate from the coffee! You'll never filter it out without cheese cloth) and mix it into my morning coffee with a whisk. -Flavor! I'm so looking forward to baking with gojis -Delicious with ice cream (ben and jerries pistachio, kill me now) when frozen they have a fantastic crunch. -Only purchased one bag so far of this brand and I'm hoping they always come as dry as this bag; I bought truvibe's first and they were not as dry and so even stickier on the teeth and slightly harder to eat imo. cons: -They are delicious on their own as a snack but very sticky on the teeth, look out for sensitive filling, braces etc. -I tried re-hydrating them but ended up composting most of the batch, they're very slimy. -(the big grudge) The nutrition label claims there is around 60g of protein in this 1lb bag, maybe slightly more even, I don't have the bag in front of me. I don't believe that for a freaking second. 60g of protein is a half pound of steak! The FDA DOES NOT APPROVE NUTRITION LABELS! They issue recalls then and if they feel like it. Do your own research! Viva Labs, amend your label!!!!! I estimate that there is closer to 10-20 grams of protein in this 1 pound bag. Viva Labs sent me an email 5 days after I received the product offering to donate $10 to "Vitamin Angels, a non-profit organization dedicated to reducing child mortality worldwide by providing children with essential vitamins and minerals" for every newly posted review (positive or negative I assume). I know nothing about this charity but it seems a fantastic offer if vitamin angels and viva labs do indeed follow through on their promises. I loved the product but probably wouldn't have taken the time out of my day to write as comprehensive as a review of this product, despite the fact that I am enjoying it at this very moment, without this soft of kind hearted offer. Even if that $10 donation is a lie, and I don't believe it is, or if every kid that my own $10 donation goes to dies of starvation despite this effort, I wanted to mention it because I believe it's a beautiful business model and you never know who you might inspire in the unlikeliness of venues.

These are delicious! 🤤 I start my day with a cup of goji berry tea now and it’s wonderful. Not to mention if you’re a boba fan one you get to the rehydrated berries it’s like a boba ‘pop’ haha.

Good quality , I use them mostly to add to oatmeal so they puff up nicely
