When soaking wolfberries in water or making soup, drinking the soup alone will not allow them to be fully absorbed. This is because only some of the medicinal ingredients can be released into the soup due to factors such as water temperature and soaking time. In order to achieve better effects, it is best to eat the wolfberries in the soup. Without any processing, chewing wolfberries directly will allow for a more complete absorption of their nutrients. The wolfberries can be rinsed with water and then chewed, but the dosage should be halved.
