Who can't eat black wolfberry?

Black wolfberry, as the name suggests, actually refers to black wolfberry. This black wolfberry is different from the red wolfberry that we often eat in daily life. Not only the taste is different, but also the efficacy and function are different. So who can't eat black wolfberry? Most people are still unclear about this issue. This is mainly because most people are not familiar with black wolfberry at all.

Modern people have a strong pursuit of health preservation, which is related to the improvement of people's living standards.

Black wolfberry (scientific name: Lycium ruthenicum Murr), known as "Qionoying-Halmag" in Mongolian and "Pangma" in Tibetan medicine, belongs to the genus Lycium of the Solanaceae family. It is a thorny shrub with many branches. The branches are hard, often zigzag, and white. Distributed in Northwest China, several northwestern provinces, Tibet and Europe and Central Asia. Black wolfberry is sweet and mild in nature. It is rich in protein, wolfberry polysaccharides, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, trace elements and other nutrients. It also contains rich black fruit pigment - natural proanthocyanidins (not contained in red wolfberry), and its OPC content exceeds that of blueberry (black wolfberry contains OPC 3690mg/100g; blueberry contains OPC 330~3380mg/100g). It is the natural wild plant with the highest OPC content discovered so far. Proanthocyanidin (OPC) is the most effective natural water-soluble free radical scavenger, which is 20 times more effective than Vc and 50 times more effective than VE. Black wolfberry is known as the wild "Blue Rose"; black wolfberry is more precious and has more medicinal value than ordinary red wolfberry.
