How long is the shelf life of Jiaogulan

I believe many people should know about Gynostemma pentaphyllum, which is also known as grass of paradise or five-leaf ginseng. It is a kind of precious Chinese herbal medicine. As people now have a strong awareness of health preservation and pay great attention to daily health care products, Gynostemma pentaphyllum naturally comes into view. It should be noted that when purchasing Gynostemma pentaphyllum, you should pay attention to its shelf life. So, how long is the shelf life of Gynostemma pentaphyllum? Let’s take a closer look at it below.

Gynostemma pentaphyllum, also known as: grass of paradise, gospel grass, super ginseng, male Luoguodi, roots everywhere, seven-leaf gall, five-leaf ginseng and seven-leaf ginseng, Latin name: Gynostemma pentaphyllum (Thunb.) Makino, Cucurbitaceae, Gynostemma pentaphyllum is a herbaceous climbing plant; the stem is thin and weak, branched, with longitudinal ridges and grooves, glabrous or sparsely covered with short soft hairs. It is called sweet tea in Japan.

Gynostemma pentaphyllum prefers a humid and mild climate. It mostly grows wild in shady places such as under forests and beside streams. It is a perennial climbing herb. In China, it is mainly distributed in Pingli, Shaanxi, Kangxian, Gansu, Hunan, Hubei, Yunnan, Guangxi and other provinces. It is known as the "Southern Ginseng". The medicinal content of Gynostemma pentaphyllum grown in the south is relatively high. People call it the magical "immortality and longevity herb". In 1986, the State Science and Technology Commission listed Gynostemma pentaphyllum as the first of the "precious Chinese medicinal materials" to be developed in the "Spark Plan". On March 5, 2002, the Ministry of Health included it in the list of health products.

Many friends do not pay attention to the shelf life of Gynostemma tea when buying it. Gynostemma tea can be stored for 18 months at room temperature. If it is kept between 0 and 5 degrees, the time will be longer. Therefore, it is recommended that you store Gynostemma tea in a low temperature and dark place, so that the taste of Gynostemma tea will be better.

Another thing you need to note is that there is no need to buy a lot of Gynostemma tea at one time. Most families do not have professional preservation equipment, and the quality of Gynostemma tea will be affected if it is kept for a long time, so it is recommended that you buy it in small quantities and multiple times. Gynostemma tea, especially Gynostemma Longxu tea, is a product in short supply in Pingli, so there is no problem of stale tea. When buying, please pay attention to whether it is Gynostemma tea produced in Pingli.

I think everyone should be clear about the shelf life of Gynostemma pentaphyllum. Gynostemma pentaphyllum is a relatively precious Chinese herbal medicine. It is quite expensive and is very popular among people. Therefore, in our daily lives, when purchasing Gynostemma pentaphyllum, we must pay special attention to the shelf life to avoid buying inferior products.
