7. Cordyceps sinensis is a valuable nourishing medicinal material, but only by purchasing pure Cordyceps sinensis can it play its health-preserving role. So how to choose Cordyceps sinensis? Let's take a look at the selection method of Cordyceps sinensis.
How to choose Cordyceps sinensis
1, select from the source
Cordyceps collected in China Pharmacopoeia is a complex of Cordyceps parasitized on the larvae and carcasses of Hepialidae. In some areas, fungus bases with similar shapes and belonging to different species are used as Cordyceps sinensis. For example, Cordyceps sinensis, Cordyceps Sinkiang, Cordyceps Liangshan, etc. These varieties have different effects from Cordyceps sinensis, so you should pay special attention when buying them.
Step 2 choose from the place of origin
Cordyceps is divided into Sichuan Cordyceps, Qinghai Cordyceps and Tibet Cordyceps. Cordyceps sinensis with the highest medicinal value comes from two top producing areas in China: Naqu in Tibet and Yushu in Qinghai. The two brands with the best reputation in China are both from the above-mentioned producing areas. Cordyceps sinensis from Qinghai and Tibet has excellent quality, plump body, golden surface color and short pedestal; Cordyceps sinensis produced in Sichuan has a thin body, a dark brown surface and a long base. Quality is secondary.
3. Choose from quantity (size)
Cordyceps sinensis is generally divided into several grades according to the number of strips per kilogram in the market. That is, the smaller the quantity, the larger the size, the better the quality and the more expensive the price. Such as 1600 pieces/kg, 2000 pieces/kg, 2500 pieces/kg, 3000 pieces/kg, unified goods, etc.
4. Choose from the degree of dryness and wetness (humidity)
The Pharmacopoeia of China clearly stipulates: "Unless otherwise specified, the water content of decoction pieces shall not exceed 13%". That is to say, it is appropriate to control the water content of Cordyceps sinensis within 13%. In order to reduce the loss and increase the weight, the water content of Cordyceps sinensis in the market is generally high. When you buy Cordyceps, you should touch the hardness of the worm with your hands. If the worm body is soft, slightly curved, and the surface color is dark and moist, it means that Cordyceps sinensis is not dry and has a large water content; If the worm is stiff and the surface color is light and dry, it means that the dryness and wetness of Cordyceps sinensis is moderate, which can reach 95%.
Step 5 choose from cleanliness
See if there are impurities on the surface of Cordyceps sinensis. The surface color of Cordyceps sinensis is dark yellow to yellowish brown, the head is reddish brown, and the ring pattern is obvious and clear, indicating that Cordyceps sinensis is pure. If there is a fibrous membrane on the surface of the worm, or the worm is dark in color and unclear in ring pattern, or the joint between the head and the base is swollen, the head is covered with mud, and the reddish-brown head can't be seen, indicating that the surface of Cordyceps is attached with impurities and doped to gain weight.
6. Choose from honesty
Cordyceps sinensis is best to be complete, fat and full. Among the cordyceps circulating in the market, some are mixed with bamboo sticks and matchsticks. Careful observation shows that there are traces of splicing on the surface of the worms, and some of the docked worms are not integrated and the splicing is unnatural. The withered and hollow cordyceps sinensis shows that the nutrients of the worm have been exhausted at the time of harvesting and it is not suitable for use.
