Whole Schisandra Berries Dried Wu Wei Zi Fruit 8 oz

Selected from authentic, premium fruit—plump, reddish-purple berries with thick, juicy flesh. Each bite delivers all five traditional tastes: sour, sweet, pungent, salty, and bitter, followed by a distinct sweet aftertaste. Perfect for everyday home use in teas, wines, syrups, and more.

Daily Ways to Enjoy:

• Daily Fruit Tea Brew:​ Take 5–8g (a small handful) of dried berries and steep in boiling water for 10–15 minutes. The tea yields a reddish-brown liquor—initially mildly sour and astringent, followed by a pleasant sweet aftertaste. Add honey to taste for balanced sweetness and acidity. Also delicious when brewed with rose hips, hibiscus, or goji berries for added fruity aroma.
• Wine Soak:​ Place 100g of Schisandra berries in a clean glass jar and pour in 1000ml of Baijiu (Chinese liquor) or yellow wine. Seal tightly and soak in a cool, dark place for 15 to 30 days, shaking occasionally. The finished fruit wine takes on an amber hue with the berry's signature sweet-tart aroma.
• Schisandra Syrup:​ Simmer 50g of dried berries in 500ml of water over low heat for 30 minutes. Strain to collect the concentrated liquid, then add rock sugar or honey and continue to simmer until thickened. Store in a clean glass jar in the refrigerator. Enjoy by mixing into sparkling water, drizzling over pancakes, stirring into yogurt, or using as a flavored syrup in cocktails.
• Chew Directly (Raw Snacking):​ Chew 5–10g daily in divided portions. Pairing with goji berries helps balance the tartness and astringency.

Important Notes:

• Daily intake should not exceed 10g.
• Use with caution if pregnant or prone to excessive stomach acid.
