What kind of wolfberry is best?

As a common food in daily life, wolfberry has unique warming and tonic effects. We usually like to add some wolfberry to the soup when making it. Of course, the most common way to use wolfberry in daily life is to soak it in wine, which can effectively prevent many diseases in the elderly. So when choosing wolfberry, we should also choose carefully, what kind of wolfberry is the best!

Slightly sweet taste: The real Ningxia wolfberry tastes sweet and slightly sour, while the wolfberry from Hubei, Hebei and other places is sour and bitter.

Fruit hardness: The real Ningxia wolfberry fruit is relatively smooth, soft and sticky, while the wolfberry from Hubei, Hebei and other places has a slightly rough texture, a thinner skin and is relatively harder. The wolfberries from Qinghai and Xinjiang are stickier because the temperature difference between day and night is greater there, the sugar content in the fruit is higher, and the fruit is larger, so it is normal for it to be a little sticky.

Origin: I believe that everyone who buys wolfberry will tell you that it is Ningxia wolfberry, and it is Zhongning wolfberry, but the real Zhongning wolfberry is limited after all. Now Zhongning only produces 24% of the total wolfberry production in the country, but almost all wolfberry brands sell it under the name of Zhongning wolfberry. So we don’t have to pay special attention to the origin, as long as we can identify the genuine product with a discerning eye. In fact, the quality of wolfberries in Qinghai and Xinjiang are very good, with large fruits. Moreover, the wolfberries in the new production areas have fewer diseases and pests, and relatively less pesticides are sprayed.

Six things to look at in summary: When buying wolfberries, you should carefully identify them, and you can grasp the "six things to look at": first, look at the appearance. The authentic Zhongning wolfberries are slender in appearance, with pointed ends and a small white dot on the navel; second, look at the shape. The Zhongning wolfberry fruit is oval and flat, unlike most wolfberries from other places which are mainly round; third, look at the color. The color of Zhongning wolfberries is uniform, red or purple, while the wolfberries from other producing areas are bright red or dark red, with inconsistent colors; fourth, the taste. Zhongning wolfberries are sweet but not too sweet, with a pure taste without bitterness. The wolfberries from other producing areas taste sweeter with a slight bitterness; fifth, look at the agglomeration. Zhongning wolfberries are difficult to agglomerate even after being squeezed, and they will fall apart with a light tap; sixth, look at the buoyancy. When different types of wolfberries are put into water, Zhongning wolfberries will float on the water and will not sink quickly.

The above is a detailed answer to what kind of wolfberry is the best. First of all, you need to choose a suitable complementary food. Generally, larger wolfberries are better and have more flesh, so they have more nutrients. However, in daily life, many people like to buy some cheap wolfberries in order to save a little money. If you want wolfberry to exert its effects, you still have to buy some good quality wolfberries.
