smell it: the genuine fritillary bulb smells bitter, but it's not unpleasant. On the contrary, it makes people feel refreshed. Some people who haven't heard it may feel a little fishy, but the fake one doesn't.
Look carefully: Shā rotto Katakuri or Sagittarius kwangtungensis, whose appearance is very close to that of Chuanbei, is often used as Chuanbei in the market, but their medicinal properties are different. Eating too much will cause human poisoning and cannot play a role in relieving cough. The shapes of the two are different, and the specific differences can be carefully watched in the pictures of the two under Baidu on the Internet.
look at cooking: generally, we stew Sydney with Fritillaria cirrhosa powder, which can neutralize the special smell of Fritillaria cirrhosa powder, and Sydney can also clear phlegm and moisten the lungs, which is good for coughing. After being processed and fired in this way, genuine Fritillaria cirrhosa will not have obvious bitter feeling, but it will be a kind of medicine fragrance alone, while fake products will have a heavier bitter taste, and the bitter taste will outweigh the medicine taste and Sydney taste.
Look at the color: genuine Fritillaria cirrhosa is not pure white, but light beige white. Especially white is bleached or replaced by other crops, and it must be a fake.
