Premium Organic Schisandra Chinensis Dried Berries - 100% Natural, Non-GMO, New Crop (16oz/1lb) - Immune Support, Energy Boost & Stress Relief - Perfect for Teas, Smoothies & Herbal Remedies

Left side is product. Right side is the next most fresh schisandra berries I have purchased on Amazon.This schisandra berries have more reddish hint to it, but I did not want my eyes to deceive me. When I took a bite, both batches give that distinct schisandra berry taste (5 flavors: sweet, salty, bitter, sour, and the fifth one I always forget).I'll have to say that this schisandra tastes more true to the fresh un-dried form. It has a more sour and sweetness to it. The remaining three flavor taste about the same to my palate.I will say that people can have different preference. If you are shooting for that more fruity, sweet, and sour taste, this is the winner. I'm contrast, if you want earthier ground flavor, the darker one might be better for you. I personally prefer the former.Price-wise they are similar. This schisandra costs about .10 cents higher per ounce. So, there is that.FYI, I never buy the "extracts" and powdered forms bc I can never trust what other stuff manufacturers put in them. And my body can recognize the difference because health benefits do manifest with my body.I get more energetic but not in the jittery sense. My become more focused without getting brain fogged. And I don't sacrifice energy with sleep at night. You get the energy minus the side effects basically. But don't expect some magic steroid energy boost.
