The raw materials will directly affect the taste, and a good Ejiao cake is more vigorous, easy to melt, and has the fragrance of walnuts and sesame. If the red dates you choose are not good, the taste will be sour, the walnut kernels will be bad, the taste will be bitter, and the sesame skin will be thick and the taste will be astringent.

2. Look at the appearance.

Good Ejiao cake sesame seeds, walnut kernels, red dates and other accessories are clearly distributed, and the additive Ejiao cake will see black paste - blocks, because of the addition of dextrin and gelatin and other substances.

3. Smell the smell.

Good Ejiao cake will have a faint aroma of gum and sesame seeds, and also reveal the aroma of rice wine, while fake Ejiao cake will have a peculiar smell, or basically no taste.

Ejiao cake is a medicinal and edible homologous product, which is refined with natural raw materials such as black sesame seeds, walnut kernels, Xinjiang jujubes, etc. It has the effect of replenishing blood and qi, consolidating the foundation and cultivating the yuan, regulating qi and relieving depression, regulating menstruation and relieving pain.

1. Observe that there are certain differences in color, shape and other details between the real Ejiao cake and the fake Ejiao cake on the surface, such as the color of the genuine product is brown and black, and the fake one is gray; The shape of the treasure is rectangular and flat with neat edges, while the fake one is square and skewed at the edges.

2. The texture is crispy Ejiao cake is mainly made of donkey skin, when distinguishing the real from the fake, you can take a small piece by hand to gently knock it, if it is broken directly, it means that it is genuine, if the texture is harder, it means that it is a fake.

3. The real ejiao dissolved in the water will melt half an hour after being put into the water, and emit a burst of gum fragrance, the fake and proud cake is not easy to melt after being put in the water, and will emit an indescribable unique smell, which is unbearable.

When choosing Ejiao cake, you must keep your eyes open, and you can't reluctantly eat Ejiao cake of poor quality because you are greedy for cheapness.

The specific steps of the first method are as follows: first prepare a small bowl, pour half a bowl of hot water, and then open the ejiao cake into the water. After a few seconds, you will notice that there is a light yellow thing dissolved, which is the decomposition of Ejiao.

As long as it is the best Ejiao cake, you will find that the accessories are clearly visible, and you can also smell the fragrance of Ejiao, and the water can be drunk after the experiment.

If you find that more than ten minutes have passed, there is no movement in Ejiao cake, or only a little bit of light yellow thing dissolves out, and the accessories are very hard, even if you use chopsticks to pound, you can't spread it, then you really have to pay attention, the experiment shows that such Ejiao cake is not **, there is no Ejiao, and what is more terrible is that bad merchants will also add gelatin or inferior Ejiao scraps, which not only does not have a tonic effect, but is also harmful to the body.

The second identification method, take a flashlight or a flashlight on the mobile phone to open the Ejiao cake, if you find that the light is brownish-red, translucent, you can clearly see the gold and blood lines in the block, the better the light transmittance of the Ejiao block, the less impurities in it.

2. The texture is crispy.

Answer: Ejiao cake in the refrigerator to cool and set. If the temperature is high, the ejiao will melt easily, so the ejiao cake must be kept in the refrigerator. It is usually put in the refrigerator one night in advance and set the next morning.

Question: Does it take to boil a piece of ejiao cake after boiling it and leaving it for an hour? I suspect it's a bad ejiao cake.

I bought Ejiao cake at the pharmacy, took it back, put it for a day and a night, cut it into pieces and put it for an hour, and it will melt in the air-conditioned room in the summer, is it?

Ask if the ejiao cake is too little and sticky.

Refrigerate on the upper level of the refrigerator.

Good and bad Ejiao cakes, you can feel them by tasting them, good Ejiao cakes have a gum fragrance, and bad Ejiao cakes have a fishy smell and mouth.

The feeling is very poor. There is also the easiest way to put the Ejiao cake into warm water, and the lump is good, and it is good to have no impurities, and it is fake if it does not melt for half a day, and it is still a lumpy. After all, it's something to eat, so be careful!

Take a small piece of Guyuan cake and heat it in the microwave for 15-20 seconds, and the high-quality Guyuan cake with high content will melt and appear a thick dark brown Ejiao slurry and gum. will hang the glass and not return it (friends who drink will be easy to understand, hehe). With a finger touch, it's absolutely drawn!
