When we identify the authenticity of dendrobium, we can start by looking. For processing molding dendrobium, there will be a layer of fine hair, which is formed because of its stem epidermal fiber after drying. Secondly, it should be fine in terms of shape and workmanship, the size should also be uniform and the grains are fuller. Then say what color it is, the real maple dipper because of its high sugar content, the color will be darker, will show yellow-green. If it is treated with wax, it will have reflective phenomenon. And the dendrobium rubbed with newspaper ash can be touched by hand, and it will leave ash stains on your fingers.
2, smell
Secondly, you can also use the nose to smell. Take a grain and put it around your nose to smell it, the genuine maple dipper will emit a light grass flavor, not other odors. This is due to the fact that when processing dendrobium, it is slowly baked with charcoal, and after kneading, it is rolled into a spring shape and becomes the final form. Therefore, if you smell a strange odor is likely not tin maple dipper.
3, pull
Another way to distinguish dendrobium is to pull it by hand. The maple dipper from the center of the position to the sides of the pull, the general sugar content is relatively high, as long as the light pull, it will break from the center. If you can pull it for a long time and there is no sign of breakage, it can be judged as a fake Dendrobium, which is a more important way to recognize its authenticity.
4, chewing
Then what flavor does it have when you eat it? This is another way I want to say to you, will be a grain of maple dipper in the mouth to chew a little, in the beginning will feel dry, hard, at first it is so, need you to use a little force chewing to work. Slowly you will feel it changing, it will become more and more sticky, and no longer as hard as when you first put it in your mouth, it is more comfortable. In the end, almost the whole dendrobium is melted in your mouth. This is the more magical point of Dendrobium, "looks like a grass, chewing a grain of sugar".
5, price
Said so much, there is another point is the price of dendrobium, which can also determine its authenticity. Appear in the market many maple dipper are called dendrobium, and the actual situation is most of the purple skin or watercress dendrobium as iron skin to sell. Unbeknownst to me, the real dendrobium is a kind of medicine that costs a penny, and its price is directly proportional to the prevailing market conditions, and if it is low, it is absolutely impossible for the dendrobium.
Note:
With the loss of time, the color of the dendrobium will become darker, but never black. Dendrobium has a hard texture, so the time in frying it should be longer.
