Question 2: What kinds of Lycium barbarum are there and which one is better? From the point of view of quality.
If they are all regular Chinese wolfberry, there are also differences in quality. The super variety of Lycium barbarum is dark purple and uniform in color, without blackheads, while the poor quality is uneven in red with many blackheads.
2. From the perspective of color
Most dyed or vulcanized medlars are bright red, and their appearance is particularly attractive, while authentic medlars are dark red, so you must not be greedy for "color" when buying medlars. Moreover, colored Chinese wolfberry feels sticky, but authentic Chinese wolfberry doesn't. As for the dyed medlar, rubbing it hard with your fingers will reveal its true colors. Judging from the navel of Lycium barbarum (the separation of fruit and fruit stalk), the normal navel of Lycium barbarum is white, the navel of Lycium barbarum containing sulfur is yellow, and the navel of Lycium barbarum with color is red.
3. From the point of view of shape
Both Ningxia Lycium barbarum and Inner Mongolia Lycium barbarum are rectangular, but Ningxia Lycium barbarum will float when soaked in water, while Inner Mongolia Lycium barbarum will sink. Xinjiang Lycium barbarum is round and easy to distinguish. These kinds of Lycium barbarum are all big and full top grades. Many merchants use this method because soaking in alum will make wolfberry fruit bigger. But Lycium barbarum soaked in alum is still easy to distinguish. If this kind of Lycium barbarum is irradiated with light, there will be shiny crystals on the surface of the medicinal material.
4. Judging from the smell
You can grab a handful of medlar, cover it with your hand for a while, and put it in front of your nose to smell it. If the smell is pungent, it is obviously sulfur.
Question 3: What kind of medlar tastes best? The real Lycium barbarum in Ningxia is sweet and slightly sour, while the Lycium barbarum in Hubei and Hebei is sour and bitter.
Fruit hardness: the true fruit of Lycium barbarum in Ningxia is smooth, soft and sticky, while the texture of Lycium barbarum in Hubei, Hebei and other places is slightly rough, thin and hard. Lycium barbarum in Qinghai and Xinjiang are sticky, because the temperature difference between day and night there is relatively large, the sugar in the fruit is relatively high, and the fruit is relatively large, so it is normal to be a little sticky.
Origin: I believe everyone who buys Lycium barbarum will tell you that this is Ningxia Lycium barbarum and this is Zhongning Lycium barbarum, but the real Zhongning Lycium barbarum is limited after all. Now Zhongning only produces 24% of the total output of Lycium barbarum in China, but almost all brands of Lycium barbarum are sold under the name of Zhongning Lycium barbarum, so we don't pay special attention to the place of origin, as long as we can recognize the real goods. In fact, the quality of Lycium barbarum in Qinghai and Xinjiang is very good, and there are few pests and diseases in the new producing areas, so we should spray pesticides.
Sixth look at the summary: buy Lycium barbarum carefully and grasp the "six looks": First, look at the appearance. Authentic Zhongning Lycium barbarum, slender in shape, sharp at both ends, with small white spots on the navel; Secondly, from the shape, the fruit of Zhongning Lycium barbarum is oval and flat, unlike most foreign Lycium barbarum, which is mainly round. Third, from the color point of view, the fruit of Zhongning Lycium barbarum is red or purple, while the fruit of other producing areas is bright red or dark red, and the color is uneven. Fourth, the taste, Zhongning Lycium barbarum is sweet but not too sweet, and the taste is pure and bitter. Lycium barbarum from other producing areas tastes sweet and slightly bitter. Fifth, look at the caking, Zhongning Lycium barbarum is difficult to form a block even after being squeezed, and it will spread out with a light pat; Sixth, look at buoyancy, put different kinds of Lycium barbarum into the water, Zhongning Lycium barbarum will float on the water and will not sink soon.
Question 4: What kind of Lycium barbarum is a good choice, which refers to Lycium barbarum in Ningxia, probably depends on the following aspects:
1, medlar color, dark red medlar, although the appearance is not very good, but it is better than bright red medlar.
2. The color of medlar after soaking in water should be light orange. Remember, the color is lighter. If it's red, it means something is wrong.
3. The shape of medlar is spindle-shaped, not big, with white spots at the top.
The taste of Lycium barbarum is sweet first and then bitter.
5. After soaking in water, the floating rate is very high, and about 90% floats on the water.
That's all I know. I hope it helps you.
Question 5: What is the difference between the taste and characteristics of good Lycium barbarum and ordinary Lycium barbarum? Ningxia Lycium barbarum is good and sweet, but the color is not good. If the color is red, it can't be used, because what kind of medlar is soaked in?
Question 6: What kind of Lycium barbarum is the best depends on the place of origin. Xinjiang Lycium barbarum is the sweetest, Qinghai Lycium barbarum is the biggest and Ningxia Lycium barbarum is the best. Fortunately, it has medicinal value and can be used as medicine.
The real Chinese wolfberry I understand is a more natural Chinese wolfberry. It is definitely impossible to find a completely natural medlar now, so we must find a relatively safe, assured and good quality medlar. The relative naturalness of Lycium barbarum can be identified at the source, that is, during the drying process. Just picked Lycium barbarum is fresh fruit, which can be eaten directly on the spot, just like grapes, but fresh fruit needs to be dried for a short time, but it can't be eaten raw, because there is a protective film on the surface of fresh Lycium barbarum, and it can only be dried after alkaline things are destroyed, otherwise it will never be dried.
There are many drying methods of Lycium barbarum.
One is drying with an industrial dryer.
The second is a more natural drying method, that is, adding an appropriate amount of edible alkaline water to Lycium barbarum and stirring to dry. This kind of Lycium barbarum is natural and deep red in color.
The third method is harmful drying, that is, adding industrial alkaline water to Lycium barbarum, and then drying or smoking with sulfur, so that the overall color of Lycium barbarum is very bright and easy to dry. At present, most Chinese wolfberry is treated in this way.
Therefore, if the color of the wolfberry you buy is consistent and bright, it is the third kind of dried wolfberry, which should actually be harmful to the human body. According to my experience, I recommend two kinds of Lycium barbarum sold online, but if you are in Ningxia, you don't have to. One is Bairuiyuan Lycium barbarum, a big brand. Lycium barbarum should be pure Ningxia Lycium barbarum, which is a bit expensive. In addition, I recommend a shop where farmers sell Lycium barbarum directly online. The sales volume is not large, it seems that it only sells its own products, but wolfberry is more natural. Please look for it, and remember that farmers are not online most of the time, so you need to contact them well.
Choosing a good medlar, here refers to Ningxia medlar, probably depends on the following aspects:
1, medlar color, dark red medlar, although the appearance is not very good, but it is better than bright red medlar.
2. The color of medlar after soaking in water should be light orange. Remember, the color is lighter. If it's red, it means something is wrong.
3. The shape of medlar is spindle-shaped, not big, with white spots at the top.
The taste of Lycium barbarum is sweet first and then bitter.
5. After soaking in water, the floating rate is very high, and about 90% floats on the water.
That's all I know. I hope it helps you.
Question 7: Lycium barbarum and what is the best soaking water? Lycium barbarum L. has many functions, such as immunomodulation, antioxidation, anti-aging, anti-tumor, anti-fatigue, reducing blood fat, lowering blood pressure, tonifying kidney, protecting liver, improving eyesight, caring skin, strengthening brain, expelling toxin, protecting reproductive system, and resisting radiation damage. It is more appropriate for healthy adults to eat about 20 grams of medlar every day; If you consider the effect of treatment, it is best to eat about 30 grams a day. However, the warming effect of Lycium barbarum is still quite strong. Therefore, people with colds, fever, inflammation and diarrhea had better not eat it.
Chrysanthemum and wolfberry tea: appropriate amount of black tea, a pinch of medlar, 3 ~ 5 chrysanthemums, soaked in boiling water 10 minute. The effect has the health care functions of improving eyesight, nourishing liver, nourishing blood, lowering blood sugar, lowering blood pressure, resisting aging, preventing wrinkles and consolidating vital energy. Suitable for people with heavy work and long-term work on the computer.
Question 8: How to eat Lycium barbarum is suitable for all seasons. It can be used in tea, porridge, soup and vegetables like ordinary food, but it has no shortcomings such as greasy and fire. Can be taken alone in spring, or cooked with astragalus; In summer, chrysanthemum, honeysuckle, boat-fruited Sterculia and crystal sugar should be used to soak in water, which can eliminate eye fatigue. In autumn, make soup with Sydney, lily, tremella and hawthorn. Longan, jujube and yam should be used to cook porridge in winter. 3 grams of black tea and 20 grams of Lycium barbarum are brewed with boiling water to obtain Lycium barbarum tea; Alternatively, 20 medlars and 5 dried chrysanthemums are brewed with water; Decoct tremella fuciformis 15g and Lycium barbarum 25g with appropriate amount of water to obtain thick juice, add honey 20g, and decoct for 5 minutes to obtain Lycium barbarum tremella decoction, which is taken every other day 1 time with warm boiled water. Generally speaking, it is more appropriate for healthy adults to eat about 20 grams of medlar every day; The therapeutic use can be increased to 30 grams. Eat Lycium barbarum regularly, not in large quantities at one time. Soaking Lycium barbarum in water or boiling soup, only drinking soup can not be completely absorbed, because only some medicinal components can be released into the soup due to factors such as water temperature and soaking time. In order to play a better role, it is best to eat the medlar in the soup together. Without any processing, chewing Lycium barbarum directly will absorb more nutrients. You can rinse Lycium barbarum with water and chew it, but the dosage should be halved. Because Lycium barbarum has obvious warming effect, people with cold, fever, inflammation and diarrhea had better not eat it. At the same time, Lycium barbarum also has the function of exciting nerves, which is not suitable for people with hyperthyroidism; In addition, the sugar content of Lycium barbarum is high, with sugar content of 100 g 19.3 g. Diabetic patients should use it with caution and should not overdo it. Lycium barbarum has the best collocation effect. Lycium barbarum L. is a medicine for nourishing yin, sweet and flat in taste, and has the effects of nourishing liver and kidney, improving eyesight and moistening lung. Among them, Lycium barbarum polysaccharide is helpful to reduce blood sugar and blood lipid, delay aging, resist oxidation, regulate immune activity, resist tumor and protect liver. I believe many people know its functions in improving eyesight, protecting memory, improving hematopoietic function, improving reproductive function and reducing fever. Although Lycium barbarum has many benefits, its efficacy is limited when used alone. If used in combination with Chrysanthemum, Ophiopogon japonicus, Radix Rehmanniae Preparata and Radix Glehniae, it can play a synergistic role. Therefore, when we are cooking soup, we may wish to coordinate with Ophiopogon japonicus for the symptoms of heat-induced yin injury, yin deficiency and lung dryness, and thirst-quenching. With chrysanthemum, it can be used for improving eyesight and clouds caused by liver and kidney deficiency. Rehmannia glutinosa can be used for soreness of waist and knees, irregular menstruation, nocturnal emission and premature senility. Because of yin deficiency of liver and kidney, it can also be used for dizziness, tinnitus and blurred vision. Caused by deficiency of liver and kidney essence and blood. It can be used together with Radix Glehniae to treat cough due to yin deficiency, dry throat, pulmonary tuberculosis, fever to quench thirst, and yin injury. Health tip: However, it should be noted that although Lycium barbarum is suitable for all ages, it is not suitable for everyone. Because Lycium barbarum is a moistening medicine, it is usually difficult to digest, and people with indigestion and diarrhea caused by spleen and stomach weakness should use it with caution.
