   Just reminded myself, in the traditional manner, why the pack of dried goji berries I bought months ago is still nearly full.

   Note to self: if it’s marketed as “health food”, it’s because it can’t be marketed on the basis of tasing nice.

     Do you eat them right out of the pack or boil and strain them to make a drink?

     @godzero Reporting back. Same nasty taste, but wet.

     @fool @godzero Thing is, I'm not getting "sweet" from them. I'm getting something a bit like milk that's gone off.

     @godzero
     They are amazing in stew as sweetener to balance the savoury, or added last minute in stir fries to add a pop of texture on palate. Both needs to be pre-soaked in water (hot if you want to speed it up). Or you can pre-soak them then drain and add into salads.

     Treat it as the sweet counterpart of dried mushrooms, not dried sultanas. They aren't snacks.

     I usually add root ginger and a little sweetener

     @fool @godzero Yeah. Did not change the taste. Still has that undertone of sour milk.
