Re: Wolfberry (was: fructose and orac scores)

[Guest guest]

Yeah, I eat 'em every day (sprinkled on salads, blended in fruit/whey/ground flax/ice smoothies!)

Not unlike raisins in texture, flavor.

I bought organic ones in mass quanitites.

I'll check and see if I can re-find the website.

I've eaten dried wolfberries. Sweet in the way that raisins are sweet.

I kept them in the freezer (b/c I didn't know how long it would take me to

eat them).

I'm sorry I don't have nutritional data.

highest for:

wolfberries 25,000

prunes 5,700

pomegranates 3000

blueberries 2,300

blackberries 2,036

strawberries 1,220

Also high are Kale 1770

spinich 1270

And berries are relatively low in fructose, so it's double good!

Hi folks,

only cost one or two dollars a pound.

I received an order of wolfberries from this compny and tried to eat

them. Are they supposed to taste dry and flavorless, with a texture

like cardboard, and a bitter aftertaste? Or is there something wrong

with this batch? I am disappointed to find them inedible. Any

suggestions?

Chaqu'un a son gout, peut-etre?

I would describe them as subtly sweet and chewy.

Should I soak them? Bake them into something? I don't think I can

acquire a taste for them as is. I think I now know why they're not

sold on supermarket shelves, or even the shelves of my local organic

market.

Hi folks:

Can anyone tell me how to pronounce the chinese for 'wolfberry',

please? The chinese stores around here do not recognize the anglo-

saxon pronunciation of it.

Hi ,

These little berries are rather tastless with an after taste. I get

them at my neighborhood international market. They are only $1.99

for 8 ounces (not organic). They are called Dried Chinese Berry and

distributed by Walong. I've seen organic ones on the net for $14.00

a pound, but they are cheaper if you buy in bulk.

I also drink one ounce of pomegranate concentrate daily.

Thanks Connie. I'm trying to get used to them. If you chew on them

awhile, they're sort of like gummy bears (horrors!).

I've also added an ounce of pomegranate juice daily.

And I tried to make clove tea, too. I bought some fresh ground

cloves, and found that a half teaspoon mixed with hot water and a

few drops of sucralose make a tolerable tea.

I don't eat wolfberries by themselves. I blend them in my fruit/whey/ground flax/ice smoothie and sprinkle them on salads.
