Juicy and fresh [dried] Goji berries 5 out of 5
My local health food stores sells goji berries for $20 a lb. in the bulk form, which tend to be stale and dusty tasting. Whole foods sells .5 lb bag of this brand for at least $10. My 16 month old daughter gobbles them up...so do I! great price and always fresh [dried]
Navitas: worst goji berries I've ever had 1 out of 5
Goji berries CAN be very tasty and enjoyable, however this is not how I would describe Navitas goji berries.
I bought a bag once, from Amazon, and found the berries to be nearly rock hard and absolutely dry. The only good part about it was that they sorta tasted ok after chewing on them a while.
If you want really, really good goji berries get Heaven Mountain brand.
They cost twice as much as these, but these aren't really worth anything, in my opinion.
These are the best and well worth the price: Bija Heaven Mountain Goji Berries 8-Ounces
Do it right or don't do it!
Gojis are good but not from Navitas 1 out of 5
The Goji is no doubt a 'superfood' and I've been having them for a long time and so may have become a goji connoisseur. The last time i bought these from Navitas and they just weren't good. They didn't taste good, very dry and worst of all they had a lot of fungus/yeast growing in them. Usually all dried fruit will have some yeast on them but these had just a lot of it, to the point that it made me sick despite of throwing away the ones that had turned black due to it.
I gave a bag to my boss since i wanted him to try the goji, which he had previously liked, but had to take it back from him for the reason.
Navitas is perhaps a good company and gojis are not made in a factory, but so is a lot of other packaged food and the seller needs to QC the product they sell.
Long live the Goji!
Quality 5 out of 5
Product is of high quality, and fresh. Nutritional value would already be understood by individual purchasing.
Product of China 1 out of 5
I was not aware of country of origin when I ordered this. I avoid all China goods due to their use of dangerous poisons in many products. Amazon does not allow returns of groceries or I would sendt it back. Claims to meet USDA guidelines for organic foods but how can that be believed with China's recent history of poisonous products.
