Questions about Goji berries
Do you need to soak goji berries before eating them?
No: dried goji berries can be eaten as they are. To soften them for porridge, salads or baking, soak them in warm water for about 10 minutes, then drain; the soaking liquid can go into tea or a smoothie.
How do you use goji berries in porridge or tea?
Stir a spoonful into porridge for the last few minutes of cooking so the berries soften without turning to mush. For tea, steep them in hot water for 5–10 minutes; you can eat the softened berries afterwards.
How should you store dried goji berries?
Keep them in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry cupboard, away from sunlight and steam. If they become damp, smell musty or show mould, discard them.
What goes well with goji berries?
Their sweet-tart flavour works well with oats, yoghurt, nuts and seeds, as well as in rice dishes and soups. Add them to trail mix, or pair them with ginger and citrus in a hot drink.
Can you use goji berries instead of raisins or dried cranberries?
Yes, you can swap them in equal amounts in porridge, baking and salads. Goji berries are less plump than raisins, so soak them first if you want a softer bite; dried cranberries are usually tarter.
What is a typical serving of goji berries?
A tablespoon is about 28 g. That portion provides 98 kcal; because dried berries are concentrated, it is easy to eat more when snacking straight from the packet.
