How to tell the age of ginseng and how to judge the age of sea cucumber?

There are two methods for determining the age of ginseng.

First, the stem of ginseng. Leaf. Fruit.

Identification method. (This method is highly incorrect, so it is usually not used.)

Second, the ginseng identification method. (The age of ginseng is usually identified in this way).

Wild ginseng. Lu.

Taro. Body, whiskers, pearl points.

Identification of the age of the ginseng.

A reed bowl grows on a ginseng reed, and the reed bowl is a scar left over by the stems and leaves that grow on the aboveground part of the ginseng, and are reborn year by year. Usually it grows once a year, and the higher the density of the reed bowl, the longer the age of the ginseng. There are a few reed bowls that are a few years of growing ginseng.

Because of the first three years of ginseng growth, the first few decades of ginseng growth often disappear or are not obvious. In this way, it is necessary to refer to the comprehensive situation to determine the age of ginseng.

The round reeds of mountain ginseng need to grow for 30 years before they can show their shape.

The taro of ginseng is usually not ring-striped, but it does have long ring-stripes.

The main body of ginseng is divided into the body of the body, the body of the rhombus, and the body of the pimple, of which there are more body and less body of the body. Ginseng grows in its natural environment for decades – hundreds of years. The older the skin of the ginseng body, the darker the color, and the longer the age of the ginseng.

The iron lines of the ginseng body are also one of the characteristics of wild ginseng. The shape is like an iron wire turn, thin, dense and deep, the circles are opposite, the two are not connected, the denser the iron wire pattern, the more the ginseng is older.

Ginseng is ginseng used to absorb nutrients, the older the ginseng, the less and thinner, so the old ginseng must be concise and refreshing, ginseng grows underground for decades, ginseng will rot and then grow new ginseng, rotten ginseng will leave a scar, that is, pearl points, so the more pearl points, the longer the ginseng age.

Dear, hello, I am glad to answer for you, 1. In the wild natural environment, the growth has reached more than three years. Such a sea cucumber is full, the body shape is plump and cylindrical, the spines are straight, the individual is light, and the suckers with a small belly of the sea cucumber are neatly arranged, and the thick body wall of the sea cucumber can be seen through the thick flesh spines, and the age of the sea cucumber can not be judged from the size; 2. Look at the body shape and body wall thickness, because the sea cucumbers of the same age are smaller in the wild, but the active substance content and taste are better than those in captivity; 3. Look at the number of things in a catty. For example, if you buy a bottom-sown wild pure cover brother lacks light dried sea cucumbers, 80 to 100 sea cucumbers are generally about 3 years old, 50 60 heads are generally about 4 years, if it is less than 50 heads, they are more than 5 years old sea cucumbers, the larger the size of the sea cucumbers, the longer the growth period, the higher the nutritional value.

Ginseng, also known as "Oriental ginseng", "American ginseng", "real ginseng", etc., is a precious medicinal material widely used in traditional Chinese medicine, food, health care products, etc. In the market, ginseng has different **, generally speaking, the older the ginseng** will be higher, so how to identify the age of ginseng has become an important criterion for purchasing ginseng. Let's analyze how to correctly identify the age of ginseng according to the identification method of ginseng age**.

The first is to observe the rhizome. Gently stroke the surface of the ginseng with your hand, if it feels smooth and free of any particles, it means that the ginseng is younger. On the other hand, if it is rough to the touch and has many raised particles, it means that the ginseng plant is relatively old.

The second is to observe the cross-section. Cut the ginseng in half and look at the cross-section. If the central part of the cross-section is a pale yellow side-by-side, and the part around the canopy is dark brown or black, then the ginseng plant is relatively old.

If the color of the cross-section is more uniform and there is no obvious difference in shade, then the ginseng plant is relatively young.

Finally, look at the overall appearance. The ginseng is also very important for identifying age. If the ginseng is thick, dark, and shiny, it means that it is relatively old.

And if the ginseng is thinner and lighter in color, it means that it is relatively young.

Through the above three identification methods, the age of ginseng can be accurately identified. When buying ginseng, we should choose the right age group that meets our needs, and pay attention to buying ginseng from regular merchants. These identification methods are for reference only, and if you are unsure how to identify the age of ginseng, it is recommended that you consult a relevant professional before purchasing.

The year of the ginseng reed head is judged as follows:

The longer the length of the reed head, the greater the number of reed bowls and the longer the growth period. Ginseng is a 10-year-old herbaceous plant, in addition to the roots continue to grow, the leaves on the ground are one year old and one withered, and every time the leaves fall off, a scar will form on the stove, which is actually a reed bowl.

In addition to the head of the reed, the age of the ginseng can also be determined by the color and texture of the skin, but in the end, the number of reed bowls shall prevail. There will also be some special circumstances, such as the reed bowl that has been on the ginseng for two or three years, which has long disappeared, or is not obvious, at this time, everyone needs to rely on their own experience to identify the age of the ginseng.

Although it is said that it is the best time to use the ginseng after 6 years of growth, at this time the pests and diseases are also increasing, the ability to resist pests and diseases is declining, and the quality of the product will slowly decline. When buying ginseng, many consumers tend to choose 6-year-old ginseng, but 6-year-old ginseng is not necessarily good.

Ginseng is different from wild ginseng, the longer the wild ginseng is, the more valuable it is, and if you analyze the same wild ginseng from the perspective of economy and auction, the older the year, the more valuable it is, but if you analyze it from the medicinal value, there will be a different point of view.

Therefore, a more rigorous way of expression should be within a certain number of years, the older the ginseng, the better, the older the ginseng will be more effective, but the more expensive it will be. However, as for the economic value of wild ginseng, the older the ginseng, the better.

The older the ginseng, the higher the value, and it takes decades for wild ginseng weighing more than 50 grams to grow, and for larger ones, it takes one or two hundred years. As the saying goes: seven taels for ginseng,. Eight taels are treasures (referring to the old scales).

There are generally two ways to identify the age of ginseng, one is to look at the stem, leaf and fruit; The second is to look at the ginseng root. However, the use of ginseng stems, leaves, and fruits to identify ginseng age is less reliable. Generally, the ginseng root is used to identify the age of ginseng, and the ginseng root is human-shaped, which is composed of reed head (head), potato (upper limbs), taproot (dodging dry), lateral roots (lower limbs), fibrous roots (feet), etc.

The main root body has the difference of shun, rhomboid, pimple rhomboid, etc., among which there are more rhombic bodies and less rhomboid bodies. The reed head, skin color, and texture of ginseng root can be used as the basis for identifying ginseng age, but the number of reed bowls shall prevail. The reed bowl is the scar left by the rebirth of the stems and leaves of the upper part of the ginseng year by year, and there are several reed bowls, which can be considered to be several years old.

But this is also relative, because the first three years of garden ginseng growth and the first few decades of mountain ginseng growth reed bowl has often disappeared or is not very obvious, which requires empirical reference to the comprehensive conditions to identify the age of ginseng. Experience has proved that the ginseng that is not more than 100 years old will not be "round reed". Generally, if the reed is round and long, and there are dozens of reed bowls, then this ginseng must be more than 100 years old.

If the ginseng is round and long, the skin is old and yellow, the lines are fine, the body is beautiful, the whip is bearded, the pearl knots are many, etc., it must be more than 100 years old mountain treasures, and it is a rare treasure.
