Guest guest Posted February 28, 2002 Report Share Posted February 28, 2002 Hello all you wolfberry connoisseurs! From what I have read in Chinese medicine, wolfberries may also be consumed as a tea. Most Oriental food markets have the tea. Haven't found any yet here in eastern North Carolina that sell dried wolfberries, but they all have the tea. In green tea the flavonoids are extracted after a few minutes of steeping in hot water. Don't see why you can't make some wolfberry iced tea for those hot summer days...Add a little sucralose, freeze it and you got a great icepop....anybody for some wolfberry jello? Don't get so hung up on the idea that you gotta chew on some dried out berries! Again for those who don't know..... the wolfberries available at wolfberries.com are American grown Lycium berlandieri not the oriental Lycium barbarum. Good grief....there's a full moon tonight! :-) Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, thanks, Bob- There are certainly less expensive sources, but I worry about the methods of farming those others (human waste fertilizer?; chemical pesticides banned in the US?; heavy metals?), so I'm willing to pay a bit of a premium for a more wholistically grown and hopefully toxin free product. I don't use alot, and tend to throw them as is into my blender breakfast smoothies. > >They are $19.95 per pound for 1-9 pounds, and price discounts for 10 >pounds an up. > >I consume them " straight, " but soaked overnight, much the same way >that I would consume raisins, except that I don't eat raisins !! >(I would rather eat black or red seeded grapes, and crunch on the >seeds to release the 'grapeseed extract.'
