Goji berries are full of benefits, if you like dried fruit.
Rating: stars out of 5 
Our dept. Admin in work recently mentioned having Goji berries with her breakfast, wha? I’d never heard of them and of course as soon as I take notice I see them in every pharmacy and health food shop. They’re high in antioxidants, even more so than blueberries, and also very high in vitamin C. Grand so, on my latest health kick I bought a bag of the dried berries (also known as wolfberries) along with a box of Extra High Strength Cod Liver Oil (1050mg per capsule). The berries were pricey enough at 7.99 euro for a 250g packet: Linwoods Sun Dried Goji Berries.
On Saturday morning I tasted a dried one which was OK, and I threw a handful into my porridge bowl, where they soon plumped up. I’m afraid I didn’t really enjoy them, in fact they ruined my brekkie. I should have realised that my aversion to currants, raisins, and other yucky dried fruit might have affected my enjoyment. I hated the texture and the flavour got worse on re-hydration. I really can’t see myself starting the day by eating something that makes me gag. Having said that thousands do eat, and enjoy, Goji berries, I’ll just give the packet to one of them.
Postscript: To keep the dog quiet while typing this, I gave her a handful -success, she loved them!
