Look at the shape of black wolfberry first. The surface lines of real Lycium barbarum are longitudinal, long in radial direction and oval. The second is to look at the seeds of Lycium barbarum. Real black wolfberry has many small seeds, which can be broken before buying.

Step 2 taste

The sugar content of black wolfberry is not very high. When you buy it, you can take a black wolfberry and taste it in your mouth. If it's not very sweet, it means it's really black wolfberry.

squeeze

Squeeze the black wolfberry by hand. When the black wolfberry is dry and powdery, it means that it is a real black wolfberry. If it's not crushed, it means it's fake black wolfberry.

4. Bubbles

Because Lycium barbarum is rich in anthocyanins, it will appear clear purple after boiling with pure water. If brewed with tap water, it will appear light blue, and the longer it takes, the lighter the color will be.

5. Price

Because the real black wolfberry mostly grows in the wild, it is more precious and the price will be higher. Under normal circumstances, the price of a kilogram of black wolfberry in the market is around 2000 yuan. If it is fake, the price will be much cheaper, and one kilogram will generally not exceed 1000 yuan.

After reading the methods summarized above to distinguish between true and false black medlar, I hope that when you buy black medlar in the future, you must first distinguish between true and false, and then choose whether to buy it.
