This difference is so obvious that you can tell it with the naked eye.

2. Different nutrients

Lycium barbarum is rich in carotene, vitamin A 1, B 1, B2, C and other calcium and iron components.

Lycium barbarum contains vitamins, fat, calcium, magnesium, copper, zinc, manganese, iron, lead, nickel, cadmium, cobalt, chromium, potassium and sodium.

Lycium barbarum is also rich in proanthocyanidins opc, which is the most effective natural water-soluble free radical scavenger, and its efficacy is 20 times that of VC and 50 times that of ve. Moreover, black wolfberry is richer in protein, amino acids, minerals and trace elements than red wolfberry.

3. Different effects

Lycium barbarum can nourish liver and kidney, and benefit eyesight. It is suitable for soreness of waist and knees, dizziness and other symptoms, and is mainly used to treat heart heat, heart disease, irregular menstruation and menopause. The effect of red wolfberry is even better than that of black wolfberry.

Modern scientific research confirms the above statement, and holds that Lycium barbarum has the functions of lowering cholesterol, exciting brain, enhancing immune function, preventing and treating cancer, resisting aging and beautifying. Lycium barbarum extract can promote cellular immune function, enhance lymphocyte proliferation and tumor necrosis factor production, and has a two-way mediation effect on IL-II, which can relieve polydipsia and weight loss of diabetic patients.

4. Different prices

At present, black Lycium barbarum is generally1500-2,500 yuan/kg, and the best red Lycium barbarum is only 400-500 yuan/kg.

Many people will ask, why are they all medlar, but the prices are so different?

First, black wolfberry is mostly wild. Compared with the large-scale planting of Lycium barbarum, the yield is less, the harvesting cost is higher, and the price will naturally be higher. But now that the red wolfberry has been planted on a large scale, the output is very high, and the price automatically falls behind.

Second, both red wolfberry and black wolfberry have effects, and even black wolfberry contains the original blue and white pigment that red wolfberry does not have, which means that black wolfberry has many effects that red wolfberry does not have.

5, eat differently.

Red wolfberry can be used for soup, tea and dry chewing. Lycium barbarum is rich in proanthocyanidins, which is most suitable for soaking in water (the water temperature is between 40-60 degrees), usually 3-5 grams per day. Remember not to make soup, because too high a temperature will destroy Yuan Qinghua and lose many functions.

The above are the main differences between black wolfberry and red wolfberry, and I hope it will be helpful for everyone to eat and keep healthy.
