Cordyceps sinensis was first published in Materia Medica Congxin (1757). "Cordyceps sinensis is sweet in taste and flat in nature, which can protect lung and kidney, replenish essence, stop bleeding and resolve phlegm, and has a good effect on diaphragmatic disease after fatigue and cough." It is the earliest Chinese herbal medicine exported from China. In the middle of Qing dynasty (1723), France Balanant came to China to purchase and brought it to Paris, and then it was brought to London by the British.

"A cart of gold and jade is not as good as a handful of Cordyceps sinensis" is the treasure of Cordyceps sinensis. Cordyceps sinensis is the only Chinese herbal medicine that can supplement both yin and yang, and can be taken in all seasons. Known as "the king of traditional Chinese medicine". It is rich in active ingredients such as cordycepin, cordyceps polysaccharide, cordycepic acid and superoxide dismutase, and has the functions of anti-tumor, immunomodulation, liver protection, respiratory system and cardiovascular system. It has become a necessity for many high-end people and celebrities to keep fit.

What are the chaos of Cordyceps sinensis in the market?

With the soaring price of Cordyceps sinensis, driven by huge interests, a large number of products with confusing concepts flooded the market in recent years, misleading consumers. To sum up, the following five low-priced Cordyceps sinensis should not be purchased:

1 cheap cordyceps sinensis:

There are more than 400 different kinds of Cordyceps sinensis in the world, and only a few of them are produced in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which can really be called Cordyceps sinensis and can be used for food supplement or medicine.

2. Adulterated Cordyceps sinensis:

It can often be seen that unscrupulous traders regard non-genuine Cordyceps such as Cordyceps militaris, Bombyx mori, Cordyceps sinensis, Cordyceps Liangshan, Cordyceps gunnii, Cordyceps Sinkiang, and Cordyceps sinensis as edible Cordyceps sinensis and sell them at low prices for profit. In particular, some Cordyceps sinensis, whose appearance is very close to the authentic Cordyceps sinensis, is toxic in itself. After eating, it not only has no nourishing effect, but also causes harm to the human body!

3 Cordyceps sinensis adds water to gain weight:

The price of Cordyceps sinensis is closely related to its specifications and weight. Adulterated Cordyceps sinensis is first weighted by inserting iron wire, copper wire and fuse into Cordyceps sinensis, or injecting metal powder and soaking alum to obviously improve the grade of Cordyceps sinensis, and then sold at a low price. This kind of Cordyceps sinensis is very attractive, but long-term consumption of these metal-containing Cordyceps sinensis may cause endocrine disorders, liver and kidney damage and so on.

4. Aged and moldy Cordyceps fumigated with sulfur;

Cordyceps sinensis has corresponding drying standards. Spraying water can increase the weight of Cordyceps sinensis, improve the grade and price. As long as there is a little moisture, even if the price is greatly reduced, you can earn enough money. It is worth noting that Cordyceps sinensis sprayed with water after drying is easy to be moldy and inedible due to improper preservation. This kind of Cordyceps sinensis is difficult to judge, so try to buy it from a trustworthy merchant to avoid being fooled.

5 Cordyceps with extremely low price completely goes against the market:

In addition to the decline in nutritional value, Cordyceps stored for many years may be obviously blackened or even blackened due to natural oxidation. Some unscrupulous merchants will smoke aged cordyceps sinensis and moldy cordyceps sinensis with sulfur to make them look good, bright in color and easier to sell.

Aging Cordyceps sinensis is difficult to sell because of serious nutrient loss, and moldy Cordyceps sinensis is inedible. After fumigation, even if it is sold cheaply, it is profitable and even sells at a good price. The easiest way to judge is to smell it carefully. Fresh cordyceps sinensis has a strong special smell and a faint fishy smell, but it is not smoked. It has a smell or sour taste. This kind of low-priced Cordyceps must not be bought and taken.

When we decide what kind of producing area and specifications of Cordyceps sinensis to buy, we need to see if the price is reasonable. Even if it is authentic Yushu Cordyceps online, the lowest price will not be 5% lower than the market price of the place of origin!

For example, Cordyceps sinensis is a precious nourishing Chinese medicine with a long medicinal history. The price and efficacy of Cordyceps sinensis are mainly determined by the origin and size. There are many kinds of Cordyceps sinensis in the market, and the quality is mixed. Natural wild Cordyceps sinensis, which is produced in Naqu, Tibet at an altitude of 4,500-5,000 meters, has the best efficacy, so customers generally try to choose the place of origin with higher price. If you want to know more detailed real-time Cordyceps prices, or efficacy, eating methods and other issues. If you want to buy the real supply price, you still have to find a Tibetan friend to buy it.

If we only pursue the ultimate low price and buy fake grass, it is not only a waste of money, but also a major event related to life and health.

The price of unified goods is different from that of selected goods.

Regarding the price difference of Cordyceps sinensis with the same specification, Zhuo Ma should first explain the difference between unified goods and selected goods. Simply put, unified goods are goods from the wholesale market without any selection. There are mowers and sticks in it, and the water and soil are not treated. Selecting goods means selecting from unified goods, eliminating sticky grass, steaming water, blowing cordyceps and so on. Therefore, some consumers find that the price difference of Cordyceps sinensis with the same specification is because the inquiry place is different. Of course, there is a gap between the unified commodity price in the wholesale market and the selected commodity price in the store.

Why are selected goods more expensive than unified goods?

After reading the above, some friends will have questions, why are the prices of selected goods much more expensive than those of unified goods? In fact, this is because the weight of Cordyceps sinensis has decreased after the selected goods have been steamed to remove water and dust, and the cost of removing unqualified Cordyceps sinensis after mowing or wearing grass has increased by about 1.5 to 20,000 yuan. Of course, its price is more expensive than uniform goods. In the wholesale market, the unified product quality standard is very low, so I suggest that friends who buy Cordyceps sinensis should choose carefully. For example, the Cordyceps sold by Zhuo Ma, a Tibetan who dug grass, are all selected goods, among which there is no broken grass, no dead grass and no label, and the dryness and moisture are in line with industry regulations.

What kind of Cordyceps sinensis is of high quality?

First, the growth altitude is high; Cordyceps sinensis from different habitats grows at different altitudes. Generally speaking, the higher the altitude, the better the appearance and internal quality.

Second, it says altitude, you must contact the place of origin. People all know that Naqu and Yushu Cordyceps are good. This view is correct. Generally speaking, Cordyceps sinensis is better in these two producing areas, but there are also good grasses in other producing areas.

Third, the size of the bug; Cordyceps sinensis is large and small, the large one is 2g,1.8g, even1.6g, the small one is 4g, 5g or even smaller. This is also commonly used in the market to divide cordyceps. Generally speaking, the greater the color and fullness of Cordyceps sinensis, the better its appearance and the higher its grade.

Fourth, the base is short and the grass tail is short; Cordyceps sinensis has long and short subgroups (that is, grass heads), and the growth of subgroups depends on absorbing nutrients from worms. Therefore, the longer the age of the fungus, the more nutrients the worm absorbs, the worse the fullness and color of the corresponding worm, and the greater the impact on the quality of Cordyceps sinensis. On the contrary, the shorter the subgroup, the better the quality of Cordyceps sinensis.

Fifth, to buy selected goods, the degree of selection must be high; Cordyceps sinensis, which is bought from the hands of the producers of Cordyceps sinensis, is mixed with some broken, bamboo-shaped and hollow Cordyceps sinensis. Generally, such Cordyceps sinensis can only be sold after certain treatment (including mud brushing, grass cutting, strip threading, grass shrinking and size grading). The more detailed this treatment is, the better the Cordyceps sinensis will be. Only the cordyceps after thousands of selections is the best. If you buy back two specifications, it is already very big in terms of specifications, but it is full of grass cutting, grass signing and grass withering. I guess your mood is not much better.

Sixth, carefully identify and be careful to buy fakes. Many customers are buying Cordyceps, and want to buy the good and the best. Appearance is very important, so pay attention at this time. Often what you look most pleasing to the eye may be a fake. Cordyceps sinensis is purely natural and wild, and it will definitely change during mining and transportation.

Friends who like health preservation, do you know how to choose the best Cordyceps sinensis? There are so many cordyceps on the market, can you identify them? Here are five criteria to tell you that you are not afraid to buy fakes from now on!

1, intact, lack of insects, fertilizer and grass. Cordyceps sinensis looks like a silkworm. It is about 3~5 cm long and 0.3~0.8 cm thick.

2. Observe the circular pattern. The ring pattern of Cordyceps sinensis is rough and obvious, and the ring pattern near the head is fine, with 20~30 ring patterns.

The outside is Huang Liang, and the inside is white. The appearance of Cordyceps sinensis is dark yellow or yellowish brown.

4. Identify from the feet of insects. Cordyceps sinensis has 8 pairs of feet, 3 pairs near the head, 4 pairs in the middle, and 1 pair at the tail, with 4 pairs in the middle being the most obvious.

5. Identify from the fruiting body of the head. The head fruiting body of Cordyceps sinensis is dark brown, cylindrical, 4~8 cm long and 0.3 cm thick, with fine longitudinal wrinkles on the surface.

Medically recognized insects with real medicinal value come from two top producing areas in China: Naqu in Tibet and Yushu in Qinghai.
