Should Lycium barbarum be chewed or soaked in water? Which way to eat is healthier? Why?
Personally, I think Lycium barbarum should be soaked in water and not chewed directly. We all know that Lycium barbarum is a good tonic, which has many benefits for us men. If you chew directly, of course, you can better absorb the nutrients contained in Lycium barbarum. But at the same time, it is easy to cause excessive internal heat, oral ulcer and nosebleeds.

Recently, there is a popular saying that "people have to soak Lycium barbarum in a thermos cup when they reach middle age." . Nowadays, in social life, we men are facing the dual pressures of work and family at the same time, and many people have shown sub-health status. In addition to the well-known aphrodisiac effect, Lycium barbarum also has the effects of anti-fatigue, anti-aging, lowering blood sugar and blood pressure, so it will be loved by everyone.

Few colleagues and friends around us eat Lycium barbarum directly. They basically soak it in water or put a few pieces in the soup to achieve nourishing effect. In terms of efficacy and taste, I think Lycium barbarum is more suitable for soaking in water. Why do you say that? There are several reasons.

(1), air-dried Lycium barbarum tastes bad, hard and sweet. For friends who have a bad mouth and don't like sugar, I think these two points are unacceptable to me; Secondly, there are many seeds in Lycium barbarum, which are all in the mouth after chewing. Eating Chinese wolfberry gives people a very uncomfortable feeling.

(2) Because the nourishing effect of Lycium barbarum is too obvious, it is easy for the body to get angry if it is eaten dry. While soaking in water, you can match some ingredients that can clear the fire, such as chrysanthemum and dried tangerine peel; It would be more perfect if we could increase the jujube, which not only nourishes the body, but also avoids getting angry.

So I think medlar is the healthiest to drink in water, and I personally like to drink medlar with red dates and chrysanthemums.
