They don't but I could. How many kgs would you buy at say US $20 / kg (2.2 lbs)

+ shipping? I would suggest 15 g

(3,795 ORAC units) / day = 1/2 kg per month / person. The wolfberries are

dried, sealed in 100 g packages and do not

require refrigeration.

I'd be willing to go for 5kgs to start, just to make sure that I can

tolerate the taste of these things.

Assuming you're willing..

Wolfberries.com seems to be selling the U.S. variety, which is supposedly

distinct from the kind that Greg is talking about..

Hi ,

US $ 0.04 / gram is US $40 / kg.

The price I see is US $16 per pound or US $35.20 per kg for US grown

Wolfberries. I can supply Asian Wolfberries at @

US $20 per 1 kg. If we could get a 20 kg order together I can get a better deal

from the suppliers and the price would

come down to around US $15.00 per kg.

Hi Iris,

Yes at about US $40 per kg.

If I can get a 20 kg order together I can get the price down to around US $15

per kg or about US $6.80 per lb.

Hi ,

Sure. I also go for 5 kg so we need to get another 10 kg and I can get a better

price from the importers of US $15 per

kg.

Hi Mike,

That is a good price as far as I can tell.

Great. Just e-mail me privately when the order comes together?

Hi Mike,

If you want to do this, be my guest. I only suggested doing this as the prices

I was quoted were much better than any

other internet source I could find.

At about US $40 per kg for the wolfberrie.com product (which now seems very

expensive), I thought I could be of service

but it seems local US prices are even better than I can get in OZ.
