GOJI BERRIES

“Dear Frederic, greetings and aloha! I recently attended a talk in Honolulu where a well-known raw-food enthusiast touted the cancer-curing, life-changing, thought-enhancing, libido-strengthening Goji Berries. I bought some and tried them. They taste OK, but are they all that they're touted to be? Please let me know. Mahalo (thanks)” - John

ANSWER: They're okay, of course. For a dried fruit. I'm not big into dried fruits so if you could have them fresh, it would be even better. I don't attribute them any particular property, but they're more nutritive and less dense in sugar than other dried fruits, so if you want to carry dried fruit on a trip, goji berries would be a better choice.
