Extreme Health Organic, Wild Tibetan Goji Berries, 16-Ounce Bag (Pack of 2) Review

Extreme Health Organic, Wild Tibetan Goji Berries, 16-Ounce Bag
Average Reviews:

I recently ordered these and was extremely disappointed.Here were the problems:

1) OLD!!They actually tasted dusty and I could feel no potency in them at all.
2) Wolfberries not Goji Berries.Since I've consumed Goji's from many sources over the years, I know which are the highest quality Goji's (usually quite expensive), which are less potent, and which are the different tasting Wolfberry variety that many sellers pass off as Goji's but are not the same.Wolfberry has its own benefits (not nearly those of Goji IMO), but for Wolfberries these are widly overpriced.You can get the same in Chinese stores for probably closer to $10 for twice the amount.

With the dollar devaluation top quality Goji berries have gotten very expensive for regular use.So if you're looking for cheaper alternatives like I was here, look elsewhere.Check out some of the cheap goji berries (that are in fact wolfberries and usually say so) on Ebay from Chinese sources.They'll be quite a bit cheaper and likely quite a bit fresher.

Product Description:
Extreme Health Goji Berries are wild crafted-picked in the wild far from pollution, in Tibet's sheltered and pristine valleys. And while other certified organic foods may be treated with pesticides so long as spraying is discontinued three months before being picked, ours are chemical-free from seed to harvest. Our all natural, sun dried goji berries, which are never processed or artificially sweetened, are packed with 18 amino acids and 27 trace minerals. You won't find a healthier or more delicious treat. Great as a healthy snack, topping for cereal,as a tea, and as part of a variety of great recipes.

Bare Fruit 100% Organic Bake-Dried Cherries, 16-Ounce Bags (Pack of 2) Review

I purchase the multi-pack of small (individual serving) dried cherries, but those are no longer listed, but this is the same product from the same company in a different size.

1. I received my order /months/ after my Amazon order (there was an interim point at which Amazon emailed me to see if I wanted to cancel the order). Amazon did not show out-of-stock at the time of order, so buyer beware.

2. As other raters have mentioned, the taste is moderate, although the longer you chew them, the more you can taste a subtle cherry flavor. The flavor isn't as strong as I expected, but I like variety, so this point alone wouldn't have stopped me from buying

3. These have pits! I find at least 1-2 in every bag. In addition, I find another several cherries with "crunchy bits" which I suspect are remnants from pits that have chipped or broken during the de-pitting process. I've ended up eating these from the bag (very carefully), because they aren't safe enough to cook in muffins or breads (one of my original goals), because then you wouldn't be able to see when you are biting into one and the chance of dental damage would be even higher.

I have ordered other dried fruit from Bare Fruit, and enjoyed them very much (apples, mango, etc.) but I cannot recommend their cherries. I hope my review saves someone a chipped tooth.
