Lycium barbarum is also called medlar. They are two different names, but in fact there is no difference. They are rich in anthocyanins, protein, Lycium barbarum polysaccharides, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. However, it should be noted that some unscrupulous vendors in Lycium barbarum sell Nitraria fruit as fake or adulterated, so we should pay attention to distinguish it when buying, which can be distinguished by looking at seeds, tasting taste, pinching with hands and looking at fruit handles. Let's look at the difference between black berries and black berries. 1. What's the difference between Lycium ruthenicum and Lycium ruthenicum?

When buying black wolfberry, some friends will also see a product called black wolfberry, which looks very similar to black wolfberry. So black wolfberry is black wolfberry?

In fact, Lycium barbarum and Lycium barbarum are both black Lycium barbarum, but people in different places are used to different names, and there is no difference. Both of them mainly contain anthocyanins, protein, Lycium barbarum polysaccharides, amino acids and other nutrients, and proper intake is beneficial to health.

Second, the nutritional value of Lycium barbarum.

Lycium barbarum with black fruit is sweet and flat. It is rich in protein, Lycium barbarum polysaccharide, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, trace elements and other nutrients. It is also rich in black fruit pigment (natural procyanidins, abbreviated as OPC), which exceeds blueberry and is the natural wild plant with the highest OPC content found at present. Procyanidin OPC is the most effective natural water-soluble free radical scavenger, and its efficacy is 20 times that of VC and 50 times that of ve.

Third, how to distinguish between true and false black wolfberry

Black Lycium barbarum is a very good nourishing and health-preserving medicinal material, but the price is relatively expensive, so some unscrupulous vendors in the market pretend to sell or adulterate it with lower-priced Nitraria fruit. So how to distinguish the true and false black Lycium barbarum?

1. Nitraria seeds are mononuclear, and Lycium barbarum seeds are the same as Lycium barbarum, similar to pepper seeds, with 7-8 seeds per fruit.

2. Nitraria tangutorum has high sugar content and sweet taste, and the sweetness of Lycium barbarum is not as high as Nitraria tangutorum.

3. Black Lycium barbarum is so dry that it will turn into powder when pinched by hand. The fruit of Nitraria tangutorum won't, because it has a high sugar content, and it has a fleshy quality.

4. Lycium barbarum fruit handle can stand up, Nitraria can't stand up, and it is usually picked without fruit handle.

5. The part where the fruit stalk is removed after the medlar is dried is a very round and white circle. The circle at the stalk of Nitraria tangutorum is yellow, and the edge is not smooth.

6. Nitraria tangutorum is light in color when put into water, while Lycium barbarum is very thick, just like blue ink in tap water. It is purple in boiling water and black when the concentration is particularly high.

The difference between Lycium barbarum and Nitraria tangutorum is quite big. Everyone should pay attention to the difference when buying and avoid buying fake and shoddy products.
