Zhongxiang is a famous producing area in Ge Fen, China. The main producing area is Dahongshan, where there are dense forests and beautiful scenery. It is also a national scenic spot. The complex geological structure has created a unique karst cave landscape in the local area, which is also a specialty. Zhongxiang belongs to subtropical monsoon climate, with four distinct seasons, abundant light and heat, abundant rainfall and selenium-rich soil, which makes pueraria here grow better.

Pueraria lobata harvesting period is 65438+February-February in winter. Pueraria lobata is a stout vine, 8 meters long, covered with yellow bristles, woody at the base of the stem and thick roots. Pinnate compound leaves with 3 leaflets; Stipules dorsifixed, ovate-oblong, wired; Stipules linear-lanceolate, equal to or longer than petiole; Leaflets trifoliate, occasionally entire, terminal leaflets broadly ovate or obliquely ovate.

Identification method of pueraria lobata powder

1, rub with your fingers. Really wild pueraria powder, the powder is generally coarse, and the color is white with a little gray. Rub the wild Ge Fen carefully with two fingers, and I feel a tiny coarse grain.

2. Look at the color after water brewing. Really wild pueraria powder, the brewed color is translucent light yellow, and the color is not particularly obvious.

3. smell it. Smell the real kudzu root powder, which has a strong kudzu leaf fragrance. Fake kudzuvine root powder will not have a strong kudzuvine root fragrance, just an unspeakable taste.

4. Taste discrimination. When the truly wild kudzu root powder is eaten, even without sugar, the taste is fragrant and palatable, and there is basically no special taste. But the taste is smooth and thick, and the entrance is fragrant.
