Question: Have you ever tried Goji berries before?
If so, what do you think of the taste? I'm asking because I just recently bought them for the first time from Whole Foods because I've heard so much good things about them, such as being an excellent source of antioxidants. I just tried them and they taste kinda...weird. Just weird. They are a bit sweet but definitely not as sweet as raisins. They are also much drier than raisins. I don't know if I really like them, I expected much more taste-wise. So what do you think of Goji berries? Good-tasting, okay-tasting, or not good at all?
Answer: I am a former chef and have been using them for years, for along time they were known as Chinese Matrimony berries or Wolfberries and sold in Asian stores, but when the antioxidant and health benefits were discovered they became more popular and they refer to them in the botanical name now.
I use them in a green tea with dried cranberrys and drink that 3 times a week, in Asian cooking they are like bay leaves and parsley in North American and European cuisine's. Dry a few and if you have a coffee grind the burr ones, grind some with a bit of salt and some black peppercorns and make a seasoned salt with them, even just adding them to soups and stews is fine, but I would recommend not to buy them at health food stores they charge way to much, find a Asian market and buy them there they are dirt cheap or a Chinese Herblist that seals bulk, I am lucky here in Toronto Canada, I have several places to buy them and keep a few pounds, that is right pounds one hand I pay virtually zip for them.
