What should I pay attention to when buying Chinese wolfberry
Many people like to use medlar to 'keep healthy' in their life. There was a news exposure that some red wolfberry was fumigated with excessive sulfur. What should we pay attention to when selecting wolfberry?
Experts told reporters that as Lycium barbarum is very sensitive to sunlight and humidity, it is difficult to store it. In order to facilitate storage, some illegal traders will fumigate it with sulfur. The fumigated Chinese wolfberry is not only convenient to store, but also more colorful and sell better. However, the long-term consumption of wolfberry can not regulate the function of liver and kidney, but will damage the liver and kidney, and may even cause cancer.
Experts pointed out that the simplest way to judge is to look at the fruit base. The tip of the normal wolfberry is mostly white. There is no such white spot in the colored wolfberry fumigated with sulfur. In addition, consumers can also look, smell and taste three ways to identify whether wolfberry is fumigated with sulfur. The normal Lycium barbarum is mostly red or dark red, the skin is dry and the flesh is full; the fumigated Lycium barbarum is mostly bright red, the fruit is wet, and the surface color is relatively uniform.
If you encounter the suspicious color, you can also smell the taste. The wolfberry fumigated by sulfur will generally smell obviously sour or irritating. The normal wolfberry only has its own taste. In addition, the normal Chinese wolfberry is light yellow and sweet in acid after soaking in hot water; the hot water after fumigation is brick red, with bitter or even spicy taste.
