How to eat wolfberry nutritiously

In daily life, I believe many friends have seen that the elderly in their family have the habit of eating wolfberries regularly. Some not only use it to make wine or water, but also many use it to make soup. In any case, wolfberry is widely used in our diet, but choosing the right way to eat it can bring out its greater nutritional value. So how can we eat wolfberries in a nutritious way? In response to this question raised by everyone, let me take a look at it with you in the following time.

Chewing for better absorption

In life, many people like to use wolfberries to soak in water, make soup or cook porridge, but in fact, due to the influence of factors such as water temperature and soaking time, only some of the useful ingredients in wolfberries can be released into the water or soup. Moreover, Lycium barbarum polysaccharide is a kind of proteoglycan. If it is extracted by boiling or heating in water, it will denature and lead to reduced efficacy.

Therefore, in terms of eating methods, directly chewing wolfberries will allow for more complete absorption of nutrients and will be more conducive to exerting their health-care effects. But be careful when chewing, and don't eat too much, otherwise it will easily lead to over-nourishing, which will be harmful.

For example, generally no more than 20 grams should be chewed directly every day. If you want to achieve therapeutic effects, you can eat 30 grams a day, but it should be taken in several times, about 3 grams each time. If you use it to soak in water or make soup, you may eat it, but it is not advisable to eat it all at once.

Of course, wolfberry is also a tonic Chinese medicine, so don’t consume it in excess.
