It's better to chew and eat directly. When using Lycium barbarum to soak in water or make soup, its efficacy cannot be fully exerted. Due to the influence of water temperature, soaking time and other factors, only some medicinal components in Lycium barbarum can be released into water or soup. Chewing directly with your mouth will fully absorb the nutrients in Lycium barbarum, which is more conducive to the health care of Lycium barbarum. However, when you chew Lycium barbarum, you should pay attention to halving the amount you eat, otherwise it will be easy to be overnourished.
