The most intuitive difference between them is that the fruit color of the former is black purple, very dark, oblate, with a small handle. The latter is a long round, red appearance, no handle
When eating, because there are a lot of anthocyanins in black wolfberry, they will be lost when exposed to high temperature, which will destroy the nutrients in it. Generally, they can be eaten directly or boiled with warm water, and the water temperature can not be too high. Red wolfberry is not so afraid of high temperature, and it can be used to drink directly, brew wine, cook soup and porridge.
Black wolfberry is generally wild, small in size, and its sugar content is not as much as red, so when it is chewed directly, the taste is not as sweet as red, but its nutritional value is higher. It is called "nourishing soft gold" and contains more than 100 kinds of nutrients that are beneficial to human body. It has high medicinal value, even the treatment of malignant diseases can help.
The usage of red wolfberry is very extensive, it has the function of nourishing yin and blood, but it is not very helpful for malignant diseases. Its nutritional value is weaker than black wolfberry, and its anthocyanin is also less, which is also the reason why the price of black wolfberry is generally higher than that of red.
