What's the difference between donkey-hide gelatin and donkey-hide gelatin

In fact, the main ingredients of both are made from donkey skin, which is rich in nutrients. It is rich in protein and amino acids, but they are named in different ways. Ejiao is named after its origin mainly in Dong 'e, Shandong Province, while donkey glue is named after donkey because it is made of donkey skin.

What should you pay attention to when eating donkey-hide gelatin

Although donkey-hide gelatin has high nutritional value, the donkey-hide gelatin made now has to be sold in the market just after it is made, so it may have some symptoms of warm fire. For people who are in the period of getting angry, or for those who are hot and dry in the body, have symptoms of intense heat, it is not suitable to eat some donkey-hide gelatin, because it may cause some symptoms of getting angry, and it will lead to more and more anger in the body. Although Ejiao can enrich blood, it is not allowed for women during menstruation, because it may lead to menstrual disorder, and for people with blood stasis, it is not allowed to eat some Ejiao.

For those who are weak in spleen and stomach, and weak in constitution, it is better not to eat some donkey-hide gelatin if they have a bad stomach and are prone to abdominal distension, because this may lead to loss of appetite, and donkey-hide gelatin is also not suitable for eating with some foods. As a highly nourishing food, donkey-hide gelatin should not be eaten with mutton, because mutton is a warm and spicy food, as well as peppers. If we eat some mutton and pepper while taking Ejiao, it is easy for some people with dry fire in their bodies to get angry, so Ejiao can't be eaten with warm food, but it is suitable for eating with some cool foods such as yam and tomato during taking Ejiao.

How to store Ejiao

Put Ejiao in a food bag, seal it and store it in the freezer. If Ejiao is selected for long-term storage, we should spread a layer of old oily paper between each layer of Ejiao, so as to prevent Ejiao from sticking to the paper, and then put it in a cool, dry and ventilated place.

If the Ejiao preserved at home has some softening phenomena, the medicinal loss of Ejiao is not great, so it can still be eaten normally, but if Ejiao is moldy, don't eat it any more, and some symptoms of diarrhea and vomiting may appear after eating it.
