Cordyceps Naqu is mainly produced in Naqu, Tibet, and it is one of the best cordyceps producing areas in the world. The high altitude, cold climate and large temperature difference between day and night in Naqu area provide unique conditions for the growth of Cordyceps sinensis. Yushu Cordyceps is produced in Yushu, Qinghai. Although they are both plateau areas, the climate and soil conditions are different from Naqu, which also leads to the difference in quality between them.
Second, the appearance comparison
The appearance of Cordyceps Naqu is dark yellow to brownish yellow, the worm body is full, the texture is tough, the base is long and thick, and the overall shape is beautiful. However, the daughter seat of Cordyceps Naqu is usually short, the insect body is light in color and the overall shape is slender. These differences in appearance also reflect the differences in growth environment and quality.
Third, quality differences.
Because of its unique growth environment and strict picking and processing technology, Naqu Cordyceps is known as the "king of Cordyceps" with excellent quality. Its nutritional value and medicinal value are higher than those of Cordyceps sinensis from other places. Although Yushu Cordyceps is also a high-quality cordyceps, there is still a gap compared with Naqu Cordyceps in quality. Although Yushu Cordyceps is rich in nutrition and high in medicinal value, it is not as good as Naqu Cordyceps in some aspects.
Fourth, the difference in efficacy.
Cordyceps naqu has many medicinal effects, such as tonifying kidney and lung, stopping bleeding and resolving phlegm, and enhancing immunity. It has obvious curative effect on impotence due to kidney deficiency, soreness of waist and knees, chronic cough and asthma, expectoration with blood and other symptoms. Although Yushu Cordyceps has similar efficacy, it may not be as good as Naqu Cordyceps in some aspects. For example, the effect of Yushu Cordyceps in tonifying kidney and lung may be slightly inferior to that of Naqu Cordyceps, but it may be different in enhancing immunity.
Verb (abbreviation for verb) price difference
Because the quality and efficacy of Naqu Cordyceps are better than Yushu Cordyceps, the price in the market is relatively high. The price of Naqu Cordyceps is often affected by many factors, such as origin, picking season, quality and so on, while Yushu Cordyceps is relatively close to the people. When consumers buy Cordyceps, they should choose according to their own needs and budget.
