Tag: Soaking berries

Over 95% of the goji berries sold in Western markets are dried, presenting a chewy and sometimes tough texture. You should soak goji berries in water primarily to rehydrate and soften them, making them more palatable and easier to digest.

Over 2,000 years ago, goji berries were first cited in a Chinese medicinal text and have since been prized for their healing properties. While often sold dried, these small, nutrient-dense fruits are best enjoyed plump and soft. Rehydrating them is a simple process that unlocks their full potential for use in a variety of recipes, but the timing can vary significantly depending on the method used.
