Moreover, colored Chinese wolfberry feels sticky, but authentic Chinese wolfberry doesn't. As for the dyed medlar, rubbing it hard with your fingers will reveal its true colors. Judging from the navel of Lycium barbarum (the separation of fruit and fruit stalk), the normal navel of Lycium barbarum is white, the navel of Lycium barbarum containing sulfur is yellow, and the navel of Lycium barbarum with color is red.
