Re: [CRsocietysupport] Wolfberries

[Guest guest]

Listmates,

I am mostly a lurker who is learning a lot from your

postings. I went back and read some from a few months

ago and wondered whether any of you followed through

and ordered the wolfberries (gou qi zi) from

Australia. Did anyone order from www.wolfberry.com? I

would like to try some but would like some feedback.

Thanks,

Hello ,

I have been ordering mine from wolfberries.com. They are $16/pound

plus $6 shipping for orders under $50. I order in 2 pound

increments. The dried berries are contained in zip-lock plastic

bags. The berries remind me of dried raspberries with a mild cherry

flavor. They are very tasty and appear to be of good quality. If

you try to consume them as a dry fruit, you'll find that they stick

to your teeth. I and my wife each add a heaping tablespoon to our

precooked oatmeal each morning. They remoisten while cooking. A

one pound bag of berries will last for about a month between my wife

and I. The company accepts checks and are not yet geared for credit

card orders via the net. I am very satisfied and recommend the

company and wolfberries to the list.

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.html

and the link from

http://www.ad1440.net/~jandk/gojiberry/retail.htm

to order some.

I have had these and they are quite good, although somewhat more

expensive than those from wolfberries.com.

I take the blame for earlier discussion concerning the origin of

wolfberries.com product because their web site had conflicting

information. After contacting the company, they assured me that the

wolfberries were indeed asian and they were imported through

Canada. When asked about the info on the web site, they replied

that they had recently bought the company and hadn't the opportunity

to improve the site yet. I asked if they noticed a sudden increase

in sales volumn recently and they said yes, especially from

California. After their assurance of asian sources, I placed my

order and, as previously posted, I am very satisfied.
