Viva Naturals Organic Dried Goji Berries, 2 lb (907 g) – Non-GMO, Vegan Wolfberries, Perfect for Goji Berry Tea, Smoothies, Baking & Snacking

These have completely changed how I think about goji berries. My first experience with a different brand left me with something chalky and flavorless, so I was skeptical ordering these. What a difference. Viva Naturals' goji berries are plump, slightly chewy, and have this bright, tangy sweetness that makes them genuinely enjoyable to snack on straight from the bag. My morning routine now involves throwing a small handful into my oatmeal, and my kids have started stealing them off the counter like they're candy. That says a lot. For smoothies, they blend beautifully without any weird aftertaste, and steeped in hot water they make a delicate, lightly sweet tea that I've been drinking most evenings. The 2 lb bag is a great value for how frequently I go through them. Freshness has been consistent across the two bags I've purchased so far, which matters a lot with dried fruit. They never feel overly dry or brittle, just nicely soft with a little chew. The only thing worth mentioning is that the bag reseal isn't the sturdiest, so I transferred mine to a glass jar pretty quickly. Small inconvenience, nothing that would stop me from buying again. Genuinely one of those products that earns a permanent spot on my pantry shelf without any second-guessing.

I add goji berries to my smoothies every morning and have tried several brands. Viva Naturals is consistently my favorite. The berries are soft, plump, and have a pleasant sweet-tart flavor without any tough stems or dry pieces. A full pound at this price for certified organic is excellent value. Non-GMO and vegan — checks all the boxes. The resealable zip bag keeps them fresh for weeks. If you're looking for a reliable, high-quality goji berry that won't disappoint, this is it.

I’ve tried a few different brands of dried goji berries over the years, and these Viva Naturals Organic Dried Goji Berries (1 lb) are one of the better ones I’ve had. The berries are soft and chewy rather than overly dry, with a pleasant sweet-tart flavor that makes them easy to snack on by the handful. The berries look clean and well sorted with very few stems or broken pieces. The resealable pouch is also a nice touch because it keeps them fresh after opening. These goji berries are USDA organic, non-GMO, vegan, and gluten-free, which makes them a convenient snack for a variety of diets. Taste & Texture The flavor is mildly sweet with a slightly tangy finish. If you’ve never had goji berries before, the taste is somewhere between a cranberry and a raisin. They’re chewy but not tough, which I appreciate because some brands can be overly dry. Ways I’ve Used Them Goji berry tea (steeped in hot water for about 10 minutes) Tossed into oatmeal and yogurt Mixed into trail mix with nuts and dark chocolate Added to smoothies and baked goods They add a nice pop of color and flavor to breakfast bowls. Nutrition Goji berries are often considered a “superfood” because they contain nutrients like iron, fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants. � Viva Naturals Minor Note The berries are naturally sticky, which is normal for dried fruit, but if you prefer a firmer texture you might want to store them in the fridge. Final Thoughts Overall, this is a solid, high-quality bag of organic goji berries. If you enjoy dried fruit snacks or want a nutritious addition to smoothies, oatmeal, or tea, this 1-lb bag offers good value and flavor. ⭐ Rating: 5/5 ✔ Good flavor and texture ✔ Organic and clean ingredients ✔ Versatile for tea, snacks, and baking

Good but note very hard in packaged product

Delicious, I enjoy them in a water bottle that doesn't have a straw--they get stuck! But good for you, and yummy also in hot cereals.

Love the berri3s. Good value, very snack friendly and beautiful color.

These goji berries I have bought now few times, and I find them excellent.

Secind time buying these. Originally gave them 2 stars, now giving them one because the 2nd batch is even worse. Update 11-2025: Didn't realize that I had ordered this brand a few years ago. Once again, these were super hard. Inedible. I was trying to save myself from the madness of driving to Costco to buy their brand the week of Thanksgiving. Big mistake. These expire 18 months from now so age is not the issue. The problem is that they are so incredibly hard. They're teeth breakers; extremely hard like gravel. I'd say they're even harder than dried lentils. Unlike any other brand of goji berries I have ever purchased, there is absolutely no way to eat these without soaking in warm water first, and even then they don't reconstitute into the tasty goji goodness one reasonabky expects from an expensive "treat" product like this. They seem like they'll be a good deal at this price point because they're organic but these are definitely a poor quality product that the manufacturer should have thrown out. Except they're consistently bad, apparently, so they're selling them like this intentionally. Not cool. Original review: Taste was ok. They are very hard, many broken and turning grey in color. Also Prop 65 warning surprised me. If I'd known, I wouldn't have ordered. I couldn't find any info on the Net about how much lead, etc is in these. There's no safe amount but some internet sources say the lead content is less than is found in typical wheat, not enough to land someone in the hospital if they eat a whole bag? But who knows. I started eating these as a health food. Shame on the manufacturer for intentionally and knowingly harming us. That said, before I noticed the Prop 65 warning, these were also just really hard. Teeth breaking hard. Pull your fillings out hard. I bought them on sale. My usual brand was Nativas which taste better and are softer.
