There is little difference in nutrients, and dietary fiber is very rich, and the contents of various vitamins and minerals are really quite a lot.
However, due to eating less (no matter eating directly or making tea, you can't eat much every day, and the actual nutritional contribution is still very limited), its main contribution is the effective components of plants. Red Lycium barbarum belongs to red because of its high carotene content.
Lycium barbarum is black because it is rich in anthocyanins and a very common plant active ingredient, which has good antioxidant and health care effects.
If you really want related foods such as black beans, black rice, mulberries, blueberries, purple cabbage, purple onions, black sesame seeds and purple potatoes, these are actually purple-black, because they are very rich in anthocyanins and can be considered as very healthy foods.
So black wolfberry, is it really what you think?
Black Lycium barbarum is actually closely related to the common red Lycium barbarum in our daily life. All belong to Lycium of Solanaceae.
First of all, please make it clear that there are various nutrients in Lycium barbarum, but they are also found in other ordinary foods, and there is not much difference.
Secondly, the antioxidant substance in Lycium barbarum is proanthocyanidins, which is also a kind of polyphenol pigment that we are familiar with.
It is worth noting that the anthocyanin content in dried Lycium barbarum is about 8.2 1-3 1.46 mg/g, which is slightly higher than that in dark foods such as blueberries, purple potatoes and grapes. Relatively speaking, the antioxidant capacity will be slightly higher than that of Lycium barbarum, but the free radical scavenging rate is less than 1%!
For anthocyanins, the theory that they can not only resist cancer, but also resist diseases has not been confirmed by any evidence, even though they have certain effects on related animals in experiments.
But for us humans, there is also a lack of certain evidence. What's more, anthocyanins exist in purple potatoes, eggplant, mulberries, grapes and other foods, and these daily foods are better than black medlar, which is relatively more convenient and cheaper, so it is not reliable to get proanthocyanidins by eating black medlar.
For black wolfberry, nutrition is still very rich:
Undoubtedly, Lycium barbarum, like other foods, contains a variety of nutrients, including minerals such as potassium, iron, amino acids, polysaccharides and corresponding plant pigments.
But please look at it from another angle:
Although Lycium barbarum has some nutrients, it is only a nutrient, which can be supplemented, but it can't cure diseases.
In addition, some animal experiments are likely to prove that some nutrients in Lycium barbarum have a certain preventive effect on related diseases, but we are different from animals and cannot be treated equally. The dose of effective substances given to animals cannot be directly ingested into our bodies.
In fact, that is to say, black wolfberry is not magical and can be eaten, but don't praise it too sharply.
Black wolfberry, how to use it will be more reliable?
If you have medlar, just chew it dry. It can be regarded as a snack, and it is also a very good thing to eat about 10 tablets of Lycium barbarum every day.
Of course, it is very good to soak water (tea) with it. Healthier than some unreliable snacks. Soaking in water with it can increase our daily drinking water, thus promoting our intestinal metabolism and preventing constipation and other related dryness problems.
Some people are not allowed to eat (eat more) black wolfberry;
1, allergic people, please don't make fun of your body.
2. Patients with hyperglycemia or diabetes should choose a small amount of food at the right time (between meals).
Black wolfberry, a hot food, can be eaten, but it can't be worshipped blindly; It is recommended to soak or chew with water, but it should be done healthily. Little black wolfberry, I hope you can develop a reliable eating style.
Therefore, Lycium barbarum is actually a very good food. It can be eaten directly as dried fruit or made into tea, which can not only obtain its nutrients, but also anthocyanin, a more important health care component, which may help prevent its own cardiovascular diseases.
However, food is not a medicine, so don't expect too much from its preventive effect, or even be fooled by businesses because it can replace related drugs, which is really counterproductive.
And even for anthocyanins, as we just said, there are many daily foods rich in anthocyanins. Don't just focus on black wolfberry, diversify and eat instead.
