3, Cordyceps shopping needs to know

1, the specification of Cordyceps sinensis, which is the biggest factor affecting the price. The bigger the cordyceps sinensis, the more expensive it is. The price difference between 2,000 pieces/kg of Cordyceps sinensis and 4,000 pieces/kg of Cordyceps sinensis is more than double. The price difference between 2,000 pieces/kg Cordyceps sinensis and 3,000 pieces/kg Cordyceps sinensis is about 50%. Now many businesses selling Cordyceps online do not meet the specifications (number of pieces). After buying, you will know that the price is high, so you can't add theory, so please be sure to ask the merchant before buying. This is the biggest factor that determines the price.

2, the dryness of Cordyceps sinensis, the dryness of Cordyceps sinensis after drying is generally around 97%, and Cordyceps sinensis is expensive. If you buy Cordyceps sinensis with insufficient dryness, it will cause great losses to users. Generally, the concept of total drying in the industry is that the insect body cannot be deformed by hand, the grass body is easy to break when bent at a large angle, and the drying weight cannot be lost in natural climate.

For example, at 90% dryness, the price of 3,000 pieces/kg of Cordyceps sinensis is 1 g 95 yuan, and the price after drying should be 100÷0.9 = 105 yuan, and its quantity becomes (3,000 pieces /0.9 kg = 3,300) due to the increase of dryness. If you say you can't see dryness, I'll teach you a simple method. Take out more than10g from a bag and air-dry it until it does not drop, or blow-dry it with a hair dryer until it does not drop. Finally, the dryness can be accurately calculated by dividing the remaining weight by the original weight before drying. Trade secrets, as long as you know them, don't make public.

3, the color of Cordyceps sinensis, the authentic color of Cordyceps sinensis is yellowish and yellowish brown. After a long time, the color of Cordyceps sinensis will get worse and worse and slowly turn black. Besides, Cordyceps sinensis has been dug up in many places, so it is not from Huang Liang, which affects the price.

For example, the price of 3,300 yuan/kg with a good color and 3,000 yuan/kg with a general color may be the same, that is to say, the price of Cordyceps with a good color is the same as that of Cordyceps with a general color, and the price difference of Cordyceps with the same specification and different colors is generally 5- 10 yuan. The best color is much worse.

4, the number of broken strips (string strips), due to the fragile characteristics of Cordyceps sinensis, in the process of mining, cleaning, drying and transportation, it is inevitable that there will be some damage, which is usually worn with bamboo sticks. The more pieces of Cordyceps with the same specification, the lower the price. Generally, the market price of broken strips is about 60% of the whole Cordyceps sinensis of the same specification. In specialty stores, the broken strips are usually removed, sold at a reduced price, and then the price of selected grass is spread out for sale. So don't be surprised to see broken bars in the unified goods.

For example, 65438+ ten thousand yuan of Cordyceps 1 kg has 10% broken strips, then the price of the selected Cordyceps is (65438+ ten thousand -0. 1×65438+ ten thousand × 0.6) ÷ 0.9 = 65438.
