What do Goji berries look and taste like?

Whole, dried Goji berries are bright red and about the size of a raisin, but not quite as sweet as a raisin. Their flavor might be likened to a combination of cherries, dates, and raspberries. The vines of Goji plants often reach well over fifteen feet. The harsh climates in the traditional growing areas for Goji berries are partially responsible for the plants hardiness and potency. It can be likened to the way the highest antioxidant blueberries found in the US come from the harsh, yet rich and fertile climate of Alaska. Research done at New Brunswick Labs that extensively investigated blueberries grown in the US, showed a direct correlation between harsh climates and rich sources of antioxidants in the fruit. Because of these harsh climates the plants have increased nutrients that they need to be healthy and strong, and actually make more substances to protect themselves from harsh environments.
