1, look at the shape
The first thing to look at is the shape of dried lily. The bulbs of dried lilies produced in Lanzhou are generally strip petals, crystal clear and bright, with less crude fiber, while those triangular lilies with more crude fiber are generally not authentic in Lanzhou, probably some medicinal lilies. This kind of lily tastes bitter, so you'd better not buy it when taking it at ordinary times.
2. Look at this color
Color is very important. Many people say that pure white lily is good, but in fact, the color of high-quality dried lily should be milky yellow, not pure white. So the whiter the dried lily, the better. Especially white lilies may be smoked with sulfur.
That's what unscrupulous merchants do to make lilies white and beautiful and preserve them for a long time. This sulfur-smoked lily is not only sour but also unpalatable, so don't buy a particularly white lily when choosing dried lily.
Step 3 smell it
Grab some lilies and smell them with your nose. Normal Lanzhou dried lily, the taste should be sweet. Dried lily smoked with sulfur will have a slight sour taste. Sometimes lilies lose their fragrance after a long time, so if we find that lilies have no fragrance, then don't buy them.
