The origin and legend of Muslim Ejiao?
"The 15th Volume of Newly Revised Materia Medica" says: "Ejiao is made from boiled cowhide, and it is named Ejiao because it comes from East Afuhan. Thick and clear, called pot cover glue, medicinal "; The explanation of Classic Prescription also said: "Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, there was a person who fried donkey skin with Ajing water, and the ancient donkey glue was the modern yellow glue", which proved that the yellow glue was the original donkey glue, and the nourishing and health-keeping function of donkey glue was also the yellow glue made of cowhide.

In view of the particularity of yellow gelatin, it is also called "Muslim Ejiao". When many people listen to "Muslim Ejiao", they mistakenly think that it is for Muslims only, but it is not. To this end, Gaotou Baoping, a brand of Muslim Ejiao, which is committed to building a nourishing and health-preserving industry for the whole people, will lead you to know Muslim Ejiao through this article and better appreciate the profoundness of Chinese medicine health-preserving culture.

According to "Yan Hui Materia Medica", "Gelatin is a drug to prevent all kinds of blood loss. Liang xinru is white, sticky and dry. When he is taken as a food medicine, his qi converges, which seems to be common with Ejiao, but his nature is flat and tonic, which is suitable for those with deficiency heat, such as detumescence and pain relief, pus regulation and pain relief, membrane protection and granulation. Then yellow gelatin is better than Ejiao. " It can be seen that the efficacy of halal Ejiao is the same as that of traditional Ejiao, and its medicinal value is mainly to enrich blood and nourish yin, moisten dryness and stop bleeding; Can be used for treating blood deficiency and sallow, dizziness and palpitation, muscle weakness, dysphoria and insomnia, endogenous wind deficiency, lung dryness and cough, cough and hemoptysis, hematemesis and hematuria, hematochezia metrorrhagia, and miscarriage during pregnancy. However, from the aspects of constipation due to physical weakness, nourishing yin and moistening dryness, protecting membrane and promoting granulation, the effect of Muslim Ejiao (yellow gelatin) is better, and compared with Ejiao, yellow gelatin is less likely to get angry.

Muslim Ejiao: The nourishing and health-keeping effect is better.

It is worth mentioning that yellow gelatin not only has a good nourishing and health-keeping effect, but also is more close to the people in terms of cost performance. According to industry sources, the price of dried donkey skin on the market is above 100 yuan/kg. Due to tight supply at home and abroad, prices continue to rise. The price of dried cowhide varies, and the price per kilogram is around 20 yuan. Boiling donkey-hide gelatin with cowhide is cheaper and more affordable. In addition, from the perspective of gum yield, cooking 1 kg donkey skin requires about 5 kg donkey skin; And 1 kg Ejiao only needs 3 kg of cowhide. The huge difference in cost also leads to the price of donkey skin Ejiao being much higher than halal Ejiao. From the nourishing effect, as mentioned above, the effects of the two are similar, and the Muslim Ejiao is less likely to get angry.
