How to choose Bai He?
Shape
First of all, we need to look at the shape of the dried lily. Generally, the dried lily bulbs produced in Lanzhou have strip-shaped petals, which are crystal clear and have less thick fibers. However, those with triangular thick fibers are generally not authentic Lanzhou lilies. Medicinal lilies from other origins are bitter and not sweet, so it is best not to buy them.
Smell
Grab some lily at random and smell it with your nose. The normal dried lily from Lanzhou should have a sweet and sweet taste, while the thousand lily that has been smoked by sulfur will have a slightly sour smell. It will fade away, that is, it will not smell, so don't buy this kind.
Humidity
Dried lilies are generally drier because they are easier to store after drying. High-quality dried lilies should be crisp, dry and not soft, and they will break when you break them with your hands, while inferior dried lilies will feel damp, and one petal is a little soft. This kind of softness is usually darkened by water. , Many unscrupulous merchants do this in order to allow water to take up the weight. This kind of dried lily with too high humidity not only affects the storage time of the lily, but also is more expensive.
Color
Color is very important. Many people say that pure white lilies are better, but in fact, the color of high-quality dried lilies should be milky yellow, not pure white. Therefore, the whiter the lily, the better. It may be re-discussed by sulfur, which is done by unscrupulous merchants in order to keep the color of lily white and bright for a long time. This kind of lily that has been re-stressed by sulfur not only tastes sour and unpalatable, but also eats too much It will also cause harm to the body, so when choosing dried lilies, don't buy the ones that are particularly white.
