Lycium barbarum has existed for a long time in ancient China, and its shape and medicinal value are recorded in many books and pharmacopoeia. The main producing areas of Lycium barbarum in China are Ningxia, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Hebei, Gansu and Qinghai.
Among them, Ningxia is the best producing area. In this small land of Ningxia, Lycium barbarum planting has different divisions, with Zhongning County producing the highest quality. Lycium barbarum produced in Zhongning County is not only the best in Ningxia, but also the best in the whole country and even the world.
"World Lycium barbarum is in China, China Lycium barbarum is in Ningxia, Ningxia Lycium barbarum is in Zhongning, and Zhongning Lycium barbarum is the best in the world". These words are familiar to everyone. For Zhongning Lycium barbarum, because of its unique quality, it is also one of the only Lycium barbarum varieties listed in the new China Pharmacopoeia, and the first batch of Lycium barbarum varieties certified as "authentic medicinal materials". Zhongning County is known as the "Hometown of Lycium barbarum in China".
Zhongning County, located at 37.5 degrees north latitude, is located at the same latitude as Bordeaux, France, and the annual sunshine can reach more than 3,000 hours. Adequate illumination and large temperature difference between day and night are beneficial to the accumulation of sugar in Lycium barbarum; Located on the bank of the Yellow River, it also meets the water demand of Lycium barbarum; The unique combination of sandy soil and semi-sandy soil is the unique terrain at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain. It has the innate excellent drainage conditions required for planting Lycium barbarum, which makes the drainage and irrigation smoother and prevents Lycium barbarum from being flooded.
In Ningxia, Huang Hefu and Zhongning are located in the Yellow River and desert. Lycium barbarum planting base is a mixture of Yellow River water and Qingshui River bitter water containing various minerals. Various advantages are essential ecological conditions for cultivating high-quality Lycium barbarum fruit.
Zhongning Lycium barbarum has a medicinal history of more than 2,000 years and a history of artificial cultivation of more than 600 years, ranking first among the five treasures in Ningxia. It is world-renowned for its excellent quality, health care and medicinal value. In order to judge whether a medlar product is produced in Zhongning, there are mainly the following judgment methods:
Look at the appearance.
A look at the fruit shape: Zhongning Lycium barbarum is oval, flat, long but not round, long but not thin.
Second, look at the navel: the navel of Zhongning wolfberry is obviously white.
Third, look at the color: Zhongning Lycium barbarum is dark red or purplish red.
Fourth, see if it is caked: Zhongning Lycium barbarum dried fruit has less water content, so the packaging should not be caked. If it is squeezed into pieces, it will automatically loosen after losing pressure.
Of course, in addition to resorting to methods, it can also be distinguished by the way and taste of sinking.

Zhongning Lycium barbarum is sweet but not greasy. Taste the taste of Lycium barbarum. Zhongning Lycium barbarum is sweet but not too sweet. Pure taste, no bitterness or other peculiar smell.
Nutrients are well preserved and easier to absorb. The production process adopts ultra-low temperature pulverization technology, biological activity stabilization technology and biological enzyme hydrolysis technology. Because the high temperature environment will denature the nutritional components of Lycium barbarum and lose its activity. These three technologies are used to prevent the loss of nutrients and maintain their activity. At the same time, it can be decomposed into small molecules that are easy to absorb, improving the absorption rate.
