How to choose goji berries, how to pick good goji berries

The selection of wolfberries is a technical job.

Secondly, wolfberry is divided into wolfberry in Ningxia and wolfberry in Qinghai, mainly in these two places. Ningxia wolfberry is relatively dry, the taste is relatively light, sweet and astringent, and Qinghai wolfberry is sweeter and has a good taste. Ningxia wolfberries are generally very small, and those that grow to (280 grains per 50 grams) are considered large, while the wolfberries in Qinghai are already very small when they grow to (280 grains per 50 grams).
