They are also hermeticlly sealed, rather than just poured into a zip-lock bag. The web site states that the berries are not touched by human hands prior to the drying process, as this will oxidize the berries and turn them black. It also claims that, unlike Chinese Wolfberries, they are organically grown. All in all, the site provides much more information than the wolfberries.com site. How much of it is credible is another matter. Like Iris, I've been satisfied with the product. ----- Original Message ----- From: oc9 Sent: Thursday, April 25, 2002 7:58 AM I believe there had been some discussion earlier that the berries from wolfberries.com were not the same as the asian goji berry. You might try http://www.ad1440.net/~jandk/gojiberry/index.htmland the link from http://www.ad1440.net/~jandk/gojiberry/retail.htmto order some. I have had these and they are quite good, although somewhat more expensive than those from wolfberries.com.

Iris,

Thank you for pointing out the distinction. I will

probably try these even though they are more

expensive.

Thanks again,
