Everyone should know that Lycium barbarum is a kind of plant, which can be used as medicine and eaten daily. It can enhance immunity, regulate blood lipid and blood sugar, and prevent aging. Its frequency in our life is still relatively high.
Black wolfberry may not be common at ordinary times, but its nutritional value is not less than that of red wolfberry. It contains a lot of vitamins, minerals, polysaccharides, protein, etc. It also contains a proanthocyanidin, which is found to be more than that in blueberries. These nutrients together have a good antioxidant effect, and the effect of nutrition and health care is very high.
To say that they are different from each other, in fact, when we buy them, we can find that the price of black medlar on the market is still relatively expensive, and red medlar is relatively economical. Moreover, the appearance color and the color after soaking in water are also very different.
In addition to the price difference, in terms of nutrition, black Lycium barbarum may be slightly higher than red Lycium barbarum, mainly because black Lycium barbarum contains nearly 100 kinds of nutrients needed by human body, and red Lycium barbarum has high nutritional value, but it is obviously weaker than black Lycium barbarum.
In addition, the two ways of eating are also different. Red wolfberry is more edible than black wolfberry. You can soak in wine, stew, soak in water, dry chew, etc. And there is no temperature limit. The eating method of Lycium barbarum is relatively simple, and normal soaking in water is more common. Because some nutrients contained in it are afraid of high temperature, the water temperature should be controlled below 60 degrees when soaking in water, or directly soaked in cold water. If the temperature is too high, a lot of nutrients will be lost.
In fact, no matter what color of medlar is, it has many benefits to people's health, but it should also be noted that this kind of high-nutrition health care means that the more ingredients you eat, the better. Generally speaking, it is best not to exceed 20 grams per person per day, and no one should exceed 5 grams per day, so as to achieve the effect of health preservation.
After understanding the difference between black wolfberry and red wolfberry, everyone should have a deeper understanding. In our life, many people will fall into the misunderstanding of eating Lycium barbarum, especially diabetics. I don't know if I can eat Chinese wolfberry and other ingredients.
As we said earlier, the polysaccharides in Lycium barbarum actually have a better hypoglycemic effect, but it should also be noted that in addition to some hypoglycemic polysaccharides, Lycium barbarum actually contains some other polysaccharides, which may also have hypoglycemic effects. Usually, health foods such as Lycium barbarum are best eaten properly on the basis of controlling blood sugar. Ask a doctor first to avoid entering some misunderstandings.
In a word, Lycium barbarum is a good health care product. Don't be too entangled when choosing. How to choose depends on your actual situation. In addition, we should know some precautions in advance in daily consumption so as not to go into misunderstanding.
