What are the nutritional components of wolfberry?

In fact, when autumn and winter come, we will find that the elderly in our family often use wolfberries to make various nutritious soups. When we drink this delicious soup, we can't help but feel warm all over. This shows that wolfberry has a good effect in keeping out the cold. In fact, as long as you observe carefully in daily life, it is not difficult to find that wolfberry can be made into wine or soaked in water to drink, and it has many unknown functions. So what are the nutritional components of wolfberry? Let me give you a detailed answer in the following time.

Lycium barbarum fruit is rich in vitamins B1, B2, C, as well as elements such as calcium, phosphorus, iron and a variety of amino acids. It has the pharmacological effect of lowering blood sugar and cholesterol, dilating blood vessels and lowering blood pressure. At the same time, wolfberry is sweet and flat in nature, and belongs to the lung, liver, and kidney meridians. It is famous for its effects of nourishing the liver and kidneys, improving essence and improving eyesight. Therefore, wolfberry has been widely used as a health food. It has become a must-have medicine and food product for families that can fight fatigue, resist aging, provide nutrition and health care, and can be taken for a long time.

Nutrition and health science also believes that wolfberry is rich in nutrients, with a general sugar content of 22% to 52%, protein of 13 to 21%, and crude fat of 8% to 14%. Every 100 grams of wolfberry contains 3.96 mg of carotene (vitamin A), 0.23 mg of thiamine (vitamin B1), 0.33 mg of riboflavin (vitamin B2), 3.0 mg of ascorbic acid (vitamin C), 1.7 mg of niacin, 150 mg of calcium, 6.7 mg of phosphorus, 3.4 mg of iron, and contains linoleic acid, glycosides, amines and germanium.

Wolfberry contains rich carotene, vitamins A1, B1, B2, C, calcium, iron and other essential nutrients for healthy eyes, so it is commonly known as "bright eyes". Doctors in all dynasties have often used wolfberry to treat blurred vision and night blindness caused by liver blood deficiency and kidney yin deficiency. The famous prescription Qiju Dihuang Wan uses wolfberry as the main ingredient. People also use wolfberries to treat chronic eye diseases, and wolfberry steamed eggs are a simple and effective dietary therapy.

The nutritional components of wolfberry are flavonoids, wolfberry polysaccharides, carotenoids, total acid and total sugar. Yalaso wolfberry contains multiple vitamins, trace elements, amino acids and other biologically active substances. Because it comes from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and because of the special geographical location and climatic environment of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the content of various active substances and effective ingredients in Yalaso wolfberry is higher than that in other regions, so the nutritional value will naturally be higher than that in other regions.

The above paragraphs are my explanations to everyone. I believe that friends who read them carefully will have a better understanding of the above questions. In fact, wolfberry is very easy to obtain in our real life, especially after we clearly know what nutrients it is rich in, we can use it more specifically. But remember not to consume it in excess, because wolfberry is a very tonic food after all.
