EidolonGreen [China Medicinal Herb] Cornelian Cherry (, Shan Zhu Yu) Dried Bulk Herbs 3 oz (88g)

**** The customer experience with this dried fruit product is mixed, reflecting a range of preferences and expectations regarding flavor and texture. A significant number of users highlight a discrepancy between the expected taste of the fruit and what they encountered. One reviewer expressed disappointment, suggesting that the product was made from unripe fruit or that the drying process negatively impacted its flavor, resulting in bitterness rather than the anticipated sweet-and-sour profile. Several other customers noted a dominant smoky or woody flavor, which, while appealing to some, turned out to be unexpected for others. This specificity in taste has caused some to view the product negatively, as it deviated from traditional expectations of the fruit. Also, the tartness of the cherries was a recurring theme in feedback, with a few users suggesting that these might not pair well with every dish, although some culinary suggestions, like combining them with richer meats and grains, were appreciated. Despite some positive notes about the proper drying process and potential culinary uses, the overwhelming sentiment leaned towards dissatisfaction, mostly due to either overly dry texture or the prominent smoky taste that was not adequately described beforehand. Ultimately, while some customers found ways to enjoy the product, many felt let down by both flavor and texture, indicating a need for clearer product descriptions. **
