How to choose dodder seeds

Due to the high edible and medicinal value of dodder, the value of dodder has increased sharply, and some unscrupulous merchants are always trying to take advantage of the opportunity to gain violence and sell fake dodder. Below we will talk about how to buy dodder seeds, and try our best to help everyone avoid buying fake dodder seeds.

1. Look at the color. Real dodder is gray-brown or yellow-brown in color and has a smooth surface. The surface of fake dodder is earthy yellow and the color is dark and unclear.

2. Twist. Take a small amount of dodder seeds and put it into the palm of your hand. Use the other hand to twist it vigorously. It is better if it is not easy to crush. If there are crumbs in the palm, it means there is adulteration.

3. Soak. Take a small amount of dodder and soak it in water for a while. Good dodder will absorb water and swell; bad dodder will sink to the bottom of the water and the water will become turbid.

4. Boil in water. Take a small amount of dodder and soak it in boiling water. The one with sticky surface is better.
