TruVibe 100% Organic Raw Goji Berries (2 lbs)

I thought these berries were pretty good. When they were shipped, most of them were stuck together in a huge glob in the bag, but I'd rather they be a little sticky than too dry; I've known that some companies put a special coating, usually not consisting of healthy substances, on their dried fruit to ensure it does not stick together, so I really have no problem. And, the fruit glob was easy to separate,I could pick out each whole berry fully intact as opposed to little bits of berries. Lastly, one very good thing, the reason for a 4 star review, is that, for the price, I received a lot of berries...enough to use in many servings of trail mix or as yogurt toppings.

I have been eating goji berries everyday over a year since it is so good for health. I am Chinese and we know goji berries are very good for your liver and eyes. I put them in the oatmeal everyday. I also put them in my husband's trail nut mix. I tried quite a few brands like Sunfood, Navitas, Healthworks and Dragon Herbs. Truvibe is by far the BEST!!! I bought this brand twice and I think I will stick with it from now on. It tastes the best and not too dry or too moist. Price is right. Navitas is the worst....their berries have some dark spots(don't know if they are mold or not) and there are some leaves too. Plus Truvibe is organic(at least it says so) so I tend to eat it without any concern.

There are some people who don't realize that the raw organic goji berry is rather bitter, but it blends perfectly into a smoothie! I use a pinch to add quite a lot of flavor and a good energy boost to my morning smoothie routine. I do occasionally pop one straight out of the package, and they're definitely good that way too if you don't mind a little bitter on your tongue. One of the best things about goji berries (aka wolfberries) is that the flavor goes well into most flavor profiles. You can do chocolate, vanilla, straight fruit, or even chop them up to add a little something extra to your salad or trail mixes. Delightful package, and well worth the money.

I wanted to like these but... Upon arrival 3/4 of the bag was stuck together in a big block. There were loose berries on the top that were easy to get out but now it's just an ordeal. I will say that the berries are nice and plump and flavorful but it's a hassle to get them out of the bag since they are all stuck together. I like to add about a tbsp of goji berries to my cold cereal in the morning and prefer them to not be stuck together. I usually order Navitas and never have this problem so I don't think I'll be ordering this brand again. It's a shame really because I still have over half a bag to go and I'm almost tempted just to toss them.

These are some good goji's. I have purchased gojis a few times before, and these are some of the better ones. Not rock hard like others. I use the recommended daily 1 oz dose (approx a hand full), they last and help the body produce HGH, which older folk need. They have an "earthy" flavor that takes getting used to. Like a raisin mixed with cranberry. The seeds are small and crunchy. Soak them in water and they plump right back up. I soaked and planted some seeds and they took right off. Lot of life in these berries.

I've tried two other brands of goji berries and TruVibe's are best quality for the money. Their packaging also works well for storage when the bag is resealed. I use them daily in oatmeal, plain yogurt and snacking along with nuts. Chinese medicine recommends goji berries for eye health. I'm not sure if this has been verified by studies, but I've been enjoying them for several years. Note that any dried goji berries may get sticky and clump together but this does not bother me because they will quickly soften up when added to hot oatmeal or used for goji berry tea.I just reordered!

The 1lb bag was much larger than I expected. For reference the bag from end to end (including the part without berries) is 10 inches. The bag is very full too. I'm used to getting my gojis from my local store and the bag I get is tiny compared to this The resealable package is nice and thick, stands on its own, and closes easily. I can't say much else beyond the other positive reviews. These berries are lightly sweet and firmly chewy, not rock hard like some other gojis I've had. I'll be repurchasing these as long as the price stays right.

I hate to write this review. It sounds like the company is trying to do good things. But the story goes as this, I bought my very first ever bag of goji berries and they were excellent; I consumed them in a relatively short time. I came back to amazon to order another bag but when I received it the bag had a hole punched in it and they were very dry and crunchy; much less moist and chewy than the enjoyable first bag. So, I called up amazon and they offered a replacement bag. I received the replacement bag a short time later and while I can find no traces of a hole punctured in the bag, the berries were not-quite-as but almost just as dry; definitely not like the first bag I had. So I guess my goji berry endeavor will be taken somewhere else. Unless I can be convinced by another free bag, but I'm not bothering with the process. Anyone want to chime in on this? Feel free.
