It mainly depends on the grade of Lycium barbarum. Generally, there are 180 capsules /50g, 220 capsules /50g, 280 capsules /50g, 350 capsules /50g and 500 capsules /50g. Convert it and you will know that some particles are larger and the number of particles is less.
The following are common varieties of Lycium barbarum.
1, medlar
Lycium barbarum is a multi-branched shrub with a height of 0.5- 1 m, which can reach more than 2 m when cultivated; Branches are slender, bow-shaped or drooping, light gray, with longitudinal stripes, and thorns are 0.5-2 cm long. The thorns of leaves and flowers are longer, and the tips of branchlets are sharp and prickly.
The leaves are papery or slightly thick, with alternate leaves or 2-4 clusters, ovoid, ovoid-rhombic, oblong, ovoid-lanceolate, sharp, wedge-shaped at the base, 0.5-2.5 cm long and 4 cm wide. The cultivator is larger, more than 10 cm long and 4 cm wide. The petiole is 0.4- 1 cm long.
Flowers solitary or twined in the axils of leaves on long branches, clustered with the same leaves on short branches; Pedicel length 1-2 cm, gradually thickening towards the top. Calyx 3-4 mm long, usually 3- cleft or 4-5-toothed, lobes hairy; Corolla funnel-shaped, 9- 12 mm long, lavender, and the tube suddenly expands upward.
Slightly shorter than or nearly equal to eave lobes, 5-parted, lobes ovate, blunt at the top, flat or slightly curved outward, hairy at the edge, protruding at the base ear; Stamens slightly shorter than corolla, or protruding from corolla due to corolla lobes abduction. Filaments densely form a loop of fluff near the base and interweave into oval clusters, and also densely form a loop of fluff with the inner wall of corolla tube at the height of clusters. Style slightly protrudes from stamens, the upper end is arched, and the stigma is green.
Berries are red and egg-shaped. The cultivator can grow oblong or rectangular, with a sharp or blunt tip and a length of 7-15 mm. The cultivator can reach 2.2 cm in length and 5-8 mm in diameter. Seeds oblate kidney-shaped, 2.5-3 mm long, yellow. The flowering and fruiting period is June-165438+1October.
2, Ningxia Lycium barbarum
Lycium barbarum in Ningxia is a shrub or a big shrub cultivated by artificial pruning, with a height of 0.8-2m and a stem diameter of10-20cm. The branches are thin and tend to be slightly inclined or arched in the wild. When cultivated, the branchlets are arched, and the crown is mostly round, with longitudinal edges, grayish white or grayish yellow, hairless, slightly shiny, short thorns without leaves, long thorns with leaves and flowers.
Leaves alternate or clustered, lanceolate or oblong-lanceolate, short or acute, wedge-shaped at the base, 2-3 cm long, 4-6 mm wide, 12 cm long and 1.5-2 cm wide, slightly fleshy, with inconspicuous veins.
65438+ 0-2 peanuts in the axils of leaves on long branches, and 2-6 flowers in the same leaves on short branches; Pedicel length 1-2 cm, gradually thickening towards the top. Calyx bell-shaped, 4-5 mm long, usually 2-cleft, with lobules or 2-3 teeth at the top; Corolla funnel-shaped, purple, tube length 8- 10 mm, gradually expanding from the lower part to the upper part,
Obviously longer than eaves lobes, lobes are 5-6 mm long, oval, blunt at the top, with spikes at the base, glabrous at the edge, and flat flowers when open; There is a circle of dense villi on the slightly upper part of the base of stamen filament and the inner wall of corolla tube; Due to the development of corolla lobes, the style protrudes slightly from corolla like stamens.
Berry is a red or orange cultivated type with succulent skin. Due to long-term artificial cultivation or differences in plant age and habitat, its shape and size are variable. Oval, rectangular, ovoid or nearly spherical, with short or truncated top, sometimes slightly concave, 8-20mm long and 5 5- 10/0mm in diameter.
The seeds are usually more than 20, slightly kidney-shaped, flat and brown, and about 2 mm long. The flowering and fruiting period is long, generally from May to June 10. When fruits are picked, they are picked in batches after they are ripe.
3. Two kinds of identification of Lycium barbarum:
China Lycium barbarum and Ningxia Lycium barbarum are easy to make mistakes in identification. The leaves of Lycium barbarum in Ningxia are usually lanceolate or rectangular. Calyx usually 2-cleft, with callose tip or 2-3 denticles at the tip of each lobe; Corolla tube is obviously longer than eave lobe, and the edge of lobe is glabrous; The fruit is sweet but not bitter; Seeds smaller, about 2 mm long.
Lycium barbarum leaves are usually oval, oval, rhombic, rectangular or oval-lanceolate; Calyx usually 3-lobed or sometimes irregularly 4-5-toothed; Corolla tube is shorter than or nearly equal to eaves lobes, and the edges of lobes are hairy; The fruit is sweet first and then bitter; The seeds are larger, about 3 mm long.
Extended data:
Distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of Lycium barbarum;
1, distinguished by color.
Fresh Lycium barbarum L. has different colors due to different producing areas, but it is soft, shiny and full of meat. However, the dyed medlar is mostly used in previous years. Sensually, the meat quality is poor and dull, but the appearance is bright and attractive. Therefore, if you buy Chinese wolfberry, you must not be greedy for "color".
In particular, the whole dyed medlar is red, even the small white spots on the medlar stalks are red, while the stalks at the top of normal medlar are mostly yellow or white, the medlar stalks dipped in pigment are red, and the medlar stalks roasted with sulfur are dark brown.
Because Lycium barbarum dyed with pigment is particularly afraid of water, it is suggested that you can put a few Lycium barbarum in water or rub them with wet hands on purpose when buying Lycium barbarum. If the color fades, it means that the pigment has been used.
2. Distinguish from the shape
Lycium barbarum L. produced in Ningxia has been used as a local medicinal material since ancient times, with the highest medicinal value. Most of the tops of Ningxia Lycium barbarum have white spots, which are not found abroad. The white spots at the top of Ningxia Lycium barbarum can reach 85%. Ningxia Lycium barbarum is 90% unsinkable when put into water, and it floats on the water whether it is making tea or making soup.
Step 3 tell from the smell
For Chinese wolfberry fumigated with sulfur, just grab a handful and cover it with your hand for a while, then put it under your nose and smell it. If you can smell the pungent and choking smell, you can be sure that it has been fumigated by sulfur.
Step 4 tell from the taste
Ningxia Lycium barbarum is sweet, especially sweet to eat, but it has a bitter taste in its throat after eating; However, Lycium barbarum in Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang and other places is a bit greasy, and it will be bitter when chewed with alum. As for the Chinese wolfberry soaked in sulfur, it tastes sour, astringent and bitter.
