I was nervous about buying these. I had bought some from another store in the past and they tasted like cardboard. I use these in my hot tea. They're hard in the bag and rehydrate in my tea. The flavor is really good and I'm happy I decided to give them a try. I've had them for a few months and notice no difference in flavor or texture so the shelf life seems to be good. I will buy them again.

Amazing product. It doesn't clump together like others and the taste of the goji is very natural, unprocessed which I high recommend.

Good and Healthy add to your cereal in the morning

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.

I’m happy with my purchase, great taste and fast delivery.

These are good. Nice and moist but not sticky.Some gogi berries are so hard they will break your teeth…these are not.I’ll buy these again. Good stuff.

I purchased this when there was "lighting deal" promotion. Thus I am thankful that I did not overspend. This Goji berries were slightly moist. i.e. It was not 100% dry. Due to the moistness, I stored it in the refrigerator after transferring them to the big Mason Jar. However, by chilling, the syrup left between the berries got hardened and berries got stuck together. They also got stuck to the inner surface of the jar, very difficult to pick berries from the jar. The berries had some green particles here and there on the surfaces; perhaps, some particles from the plants such as leaves? They did not seem to be mold. The taste and the freshness were quite acceptable. However, since I am used to very dry Goji Berries that are for the Chinese Medicinal Tea, this partial moistness and hardening by chilling was quite annoying. They definitely needed to be soaked in water for several hours until it is soft enough to chew. Therefore, I did not see the points in making not drying enough before packing by the producer. Perhaps, eating the berries as snack out of the package was intended for Western consumers,*** P.S. Be aware that the Goji in general has slight toxicity, know side effects in China and Japan are 1. affect the hormone balance -> woman may become infertile, and/or the menstruation comes earlier than regular time, 2. Stomach Upset -diarrhea etc. 3. Allergic reaction - skin rash etc. 4. headache, esp. when you are on PMS or on the menstruation. My husband became seriously ill after 20 min of eating Goji berries, and it happened in repeated manners. My headache was worsened before during and after menstruation, to the extreme degree. You should google the side effects of Goji berries before purchasing. Viva brand in particular has more bad effects on us, since we have never had these symptoms before. Thus I assume that what we got had more toxins in it. Also, these berries are much redder and bright color than what you can get at Asian grocery stores. That means, perhaps, they add sulfur to keep color fresh and vivid. That may affect your digestion depending on the individual. I will not buy Goji ever again, because I don't want to suffer. Even in Japan, the common sense is that Goji's maximum daily intake is 2g. (It is between 10-20 pieces.) Thus do not exceed that amount. Goji is for medicinal uses in Eastern Asia, not for topping for ice cream and yogurt. This is not raisin. So be aware. This toxicity has nothing to do with detox. So be smart enough not to think this is any kind of cleanse thing.
