That's right! Goji berries are a better source of Vitamin C than oranges!

Goji Berries are interesting little berries. They are bright red and the size if a small raisin. I find the taste rather salty and unusual. I like to use them on salads or in a raw trail mix or granola.

that helped a lot thanks, right now I'm trying to decide between acai and goji... this will take me a while!

I personally don't like goji berries or powder on their own. In smoothies they work well though.

Fruits of the Earth has a mild berry flavor.

after doing a little digging I found that people either love them or hate them... maybe I should try acai instead...

Try to get a sample of them to try, you just may love them.
I used to hate them when I first went raw. Then my taste buds changed, and now I love them.
