In life, many people like to use Lycium barbarum to soak in water, make soup or cook porridge, but in fact, only some useful components in Lycium barbarum can be released into water or soup due to factors such as water temperature and soaking time. Moreover, Lycium barbarum polysaccharide is a proteoglycan. If it is extracted with boiling water, it will denature and reduce its efficacy. Therefore, in terms of eating methods, directly chewing Lycium barbarum will absorb nutrients more fully, which is more conducive to playing its health care role. But when chewing, you should pay attention to the fact that you can't eat too much food, otherwise it will be easy to nourish too much, but it will be unfavorable. Chewing directly every day generally does not exceed 20 grams. If you think about the therapeutic effect, you can eat 30 grams a day, but you should eat it in batches, about 3 grams each time. If it is used for soaking in water or making soup, you may wish to eat it, but it is not advisable to eat it all at once.
