It is barely sour. I don't know how to describe the taste ... maybe a little

like goat

cheese? The main thing is the texture ... it is GOOEY. Thick. So it coats

berries, which is how the Finnish love to have it for breakfast. Also very

good in baking. The thickness is from polysaccharides, which can be

very healthy for you (some polysaccarides are highly anti-carcinogenic -- I

don't know if these are).

Mostly it's great in smoothies because you don't have to add sweetener

to overcome the sour taste. Some people LIKE sour, so they wouldn't

prefer this.
