Goji berries have become increasingly popular in recent years. I too only became familiar with them as a result of this hype. Unusually for me, it was not love at first bite, however goji berries are now one of my go-to ingredients for muesli toppings and snacks. These crunchy red berries can also be used to complement savoury dishes. They are perfect for a sweet & salty dressing, for example, not only packing a flavour punch but also creating an incredibly vibrant colour.
