Which cordyceps sinensis is of good quality? How to look good and bad?

To identify Cordyceps, you can pinch it with your hands to see if the texture is firm enough, and if there are traces on your fingers after pinching, it means that the texture of Cordyceps is still okay. On the contrary, if you pinch the soft one, it may be a low-quality cordyceps. For novices, I suggest that you directly choose a reliable Cordyceps brand, so that you don't need to identify, and if you want to buy a good quality Cordyceps, you can choose East Sunshine Cordyceps, the quality and reputation are more reliable, their Cordyceps has been reported on CCTV and the people's **, and has also been affirmed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

A simple way to distinguish the authenticity of Cordyceps sinensis.

First, first look at its appearance, whether the form is full, whether the color is beautiful enough, whether the insect body has a wide and three narrow rings, and count whether there are 8 pairs of feet; Second, you can pinch the insect body is not firm enough, if it is soft and watery, it may be inferior grass; Third, you can smell its taste, high-quality cordyceps has a faint mushroom fragrance; If there are all of them, they are basically true, but there are many fake and shoddy cordyceps on the market, and novice Xiaobai may not be able to identify them one by one. So be sure to choose carefully, but in fact, we can buy big brands, so there is a guarantee. Recently, I watched the program "God's Voice 3", and found that East Sunshine Cordyceps sinensis is not bad, and the listed brands have undergone 256 safety tests, and there will be no problems of excessive heavy metals and adulteration.

To identify the authenticity of Cordyceps, you can look at its texture, high-quality dried Cordyceps sinensis has moderate dryness, dense and compact texture, and deflated grass is generally inferior, so it must be recognized. Recently, I went to a colleague's house and saw that he was also eating Cordyceps to regulate his body. We all sit in the office and work in front of the computer, and if we don't exercise, we are about to become an occupational disease.

This will listen to him say that eating Cordyceps sinensis feels good, after eating the spirit greatly improved, the brand he eats seems to be called East Sunshine Cordyceps, and many national research institutes have cooperation, can be found on the Internet, is the national traditional Chinese medicine tonic market influence brand, I don't think you know how to identify, you can take a look at the brand of East Sunshine.

Check the quality standard of Cordyceps.

First of all, we need to check the dryness, humidity and fullness of Cordyceps, generally speaking, the dryness requirement is more than 95%, and the fullness is the quality of Cordyceps, Cordyceps with good fullness looks very good, and the cordyceps with poor fullness will be worse.

Secondly, it is necessary to check whether the cordyceps is broken, worn, and mixed, because Cordyceps sinensis will be dug up during the excavation process, and the price of broken strips is not the same as that of the whole grass, and some unscrupulous traders will use iron wires to wear the broken strips to make consumers think that they are whole grass. Of course, mixed grass means that low-quality Cordyceps will be mixed with high-quality Cordyceps, and friends who don't pay attention will be fooled.

1. Cordyceps sinensis should look at the overall color of Cordyceps sinensis when choosing, generally speaking, the first half of the cordyceps is thicker, the color is mainly dark brown is the best, the light brown indicates that the medicinal value is slightly worse, the tail color is darker, and the one with a large hook is the best.

2. Cordyceps sinensis has its own feet, which is also a key to distinguish the quality of Cordyceps, a good Cordyceps sinensis has three links in each foot, you can count them carefully, if the links are vague or not enough, then the quality of Cordyceps sinensis is not good.

3. When choosing Cordyceps, it is necessary to see whether the whole Cordyceps sinensis is rotten, or whether there is any damage, you can gently pinch it with your hands, if you feel a soft place, then it means that there are signs of decay inside the Cordyceps.

Cordyceps is a precious bai traditional Chinese medicine, and the quantity is not much

Therefore, the value is expensive.

Zhi, tens of thousands of yuan per kilogram, especially the price of Qinghai-Tibetan Cordyceps is much higher than that of Cordyceps in other places due to its high quality.

The difference is about 6,000 yuan. In order to make huge profits, unscrupulous businessmen mislead consumers by inserting iron wires, fuses or injecting mercury into the body of insects, and wrapping soil mixed with fine metal powders such as iron powder and lead powder. Consumers who lack professional knowledge can choose big brands such as FLM and Tong Ren Tang for cordyceps sinensis, which is of better quality.

Tongrentang's ** is more expensive, about 2 times that of FLM, which is more affordable and suitable for home use.
