Fritillaria cirrhosa is expensive, so many unscrupulous merchants will pass it off as fake goods. Generally, buying Fritillaria cirrhosa online is risky. Because when identifying the true and false Fritillaria, you must personally contact Fritillaria before you can identify it. First of all, to get a Fritillaria cirrhosa, the first step is to touch it with your hands. Really, Fritillaria cirrhosa is pure natural, so it will actually have a little graininess on the surface, and it will not be particularly smooth. However, the fake Fritillaria cirrhosa will fiddle with some details, and the surface will be waxed, but it will be smoother to the touch.
Inexperienced people will think that the grainy Fritillaria cirrhosa is flawed, but in fact, all natural things are not so perfect. It's just that Fritillaria cirrhosa will be very smooth and delicate after grinding into powder, and those Fritillaria cirrhosa that feel very smooth will be particularly dry and scrape their hands after grinding into powder, which is somewhat similar to lime powder.
The second step is to smell Fritillaria cirrhosa. Actually, Fritillaria cirrhosa has a natural plant smell, and there is no other peculiar smell. Therefore, the smell of Fritillaria cirrhosa will not be unpleasant, but will make people feel very fresh. But fakes usually have a little earthy smell mixed with wax smell, which is probably the smell left by waxing on the surface of Fritillaria cirrhosa.
the third step is to tell the fritillary bulb by its color after it is cooked. The real Fritillaria cirrhosa is not pure white, but it feels a little beige, but the fake Fritillaria cirrhosa will deliberately bleach it in order to highlight its quality. So sometimes the fake Chuanbei looks whiter. The cooked Fritillaria actually turns a little yellow, but the fake Fritillaria is bleached, so it will remain white even if cooked.
basically, the authenticity of Fritillaria cirrhosa can be judged by the above methods. And the simplest way to judge is actually the price of Fritillaria cirrhosa. After all, Fritillaria cirrhosa is very precious. If you buy a cheaper Fritillaria cirrhosa because of greed, there is a great possibility that you will be deceived.
