I agree with Pamela! The goji juice arrived within the plastic bottle, the opening of it seems to be havely manufactured,……
I prefer the berries if they come from Himalaya, and not from China.

I have watched the video but wonder how many E number additives are in the juice, also colourings, etc. I think I would prefer to sample the goji berries first as I think that bottles of juice may have to be used up within a few days of opening the bottles. The berries seem to be the better buy.

I put lots of goji berries in our home-made museli. also make goji berry flap jacks and muffins. we have not tried the juice as it is difficult to find in north wales ! I make goji tea sometimes though…and it tastes great on its own or with a spot of honey.We like them in porridge and rice pudding too. I find the dried berries a bit of a chore to munch so soak them for an hour or so so they are juicy and soft. I would try the juice I think it would be a refreshing beverage and it would make refreshing ice lollies in the summer……..Umm I wonder about Goji berry ice cream……. worth a try..cheese cake, fruit bread, chutney,.endless idea.keep on gojing !

Hi Arthur,
Last year I visited a friend in France who had a dozen Goji bushes. He used them as items of fruit, rather like grapes and I must say that the fresh berries went very well with a ripe, soft (runny) Brie. He had a bit of a glut of berries and put a pile in the juicer. I personally found the pure juice pleasant & refreshing (sharp) but without body. This was soon corrected by adding a bit of pulp - much better! When added to some cheap local Calvados with some sliced fruit and ice it made a very acceptable summer punch.
After my experience I would not buy pure Goji juice.
Cheers
John

I for the most part add a hand full of goji berries in to my 3 horse power blender together with other fruits and veg. That is my solution.
When on the road I eat them whole.

I have not tried Goji juice, but you can make a reasonable equivalent by soaking a small handful of berries in a glass of cold water overnight. The berries become soft, like raisins and you can either eat the berries and drink the juice as is, or make the whole into a smoothie. I have a glassful like this only about twice a week and already there has been a marked difference in my cholesterol and blood pressure. ‘Rainbow’ (12h April), must be eating them in handfuls daily to achieve her ‘nervous’ effect. Steady on, girl!
Don’t know about juice - the comments about processing may well be correct - heat usually destroys vitamins and other goodies in ANY food. I managed to get some Goji Berries here, in the UK and also some from DrBenKim.com in Canada and I can’t tell any difference. However, trying both for extended periods doesn’t seem to have lessened the good effects, so I’m sticking to the Berries!

You cant beat the real thing for nutrients etc. Any juice that is pre packed has to be heated by law and the majority of the goodness has gone. The best way is to juice the berries yourself but as we eat them dried I think it would be pretty difficult. The only other option is to add them to a smoothy and drink straight away.

Personally I would prefer to use the raw fruit but if and when the juice is available I might try it.
