Chuck them on the compost heap and have a satsuma

Sorry PP but must disagree, I got some yesterday on offer from Julian Graves, never had them before. They taste great, but I do like things such as pumpkin seeds etc and do not consume sugary confections or drinks, so my taste may be vastly different from yours

PS - I am going to try & use some as seed to grow my own

I once tried a Gillian McKeith bar containing goji berries and it was awful, it was so dry and hard to eat.

I was telling my very healthy SIL about this and she said I should try them on their own.

Anyway a week later she came round with a bag from the local health food store, and they were really nice, really sweet too and took away my cravings for anything else sweet.

They are supposed to be a "love" berry too as well as a superfood!:o

Someone gave me a bag of sun-dried goji berries when she came to visit (believe me I would never buy them!).
We have all tried them and no-one likes them at all. I don't want to chuck them out, so has anyone any ideas what i can do with them?
If I put them in cookies would they make it all taste awful?

I've been in a similar situation - I soaked them in warm water and shoved them in porridge/muesli type stuff with other fruit. Also chop up and use mixed with other dried fruit - you probably won't be able to notice them

Hi rosie,

There's an earlier thread with some ideas that should help so I've added your post to it to keep the suggestions together.
