First, the basic efficacy of Ejiao
Beauty beauty, invigorating qi and blood, regulating menstruation, preventing miscarriage, improving immunity, delaying aging, improving intelligence, strengthening brain, strengthening tendons and bones, resisting cancer and dilating blood vessels. At the same time, it can also improve sleep, remove spots and fade lines, enhance the function of central nervous system, stabilize mental mood, eliminate depression, tension and irritability, and soothe the nerves.
Yang Guifei "secretly took Ejiao and refused to say anything except that she was born a gentleman." She is not only beautiful, but also very clever. She knows that aftercare from the inside out can keep young forever, so she secretly takes Ejiao for a long time to keep healthy and beautiful.
Second, how can we tell the true and false Ejiao when we usually purchase it?
Look: Authentic Ejiao is an amber or brown-black rectangular flat block with smooth appearance, neat corners and shiny surface. Ejiao blocks are not wet or soft in summer. Colla Corii Asini powder is golden yellow or yellowish.
Transparent: When the light is transparent, Ejiao should be amber yellow, and the edge of Ejiao block is translucent.
Knock: Ejiao is a rubber block made of donkey skin, which is brittle and can be broken by tapping with your hand. The section is also smooth and flat, like glass fragments.
Dissolution: Small pieces of donkey-hide gelatin will dissolve in hot water within half an hour. Gelatin dissolved in hot water will form jelly once it is refrigerated.
Smell: Breathing into Ejiao for five seconds or dissolving Ejiao with hot water will give off the fragrance of Ejiao, while the smell of fake Ejiao is fishy.
There are others, such as explosion, expansion, melting and white smoke, which have a strong fragrance of sesame oil; The test water is light brown-red, with oil droplets on the liquid surface, and the liquid is clear and distinguishable.
The counterfeit products of Ejiao are generally cowhide and horsehide glue, miscellaneous leather glue, bone glue, gelatin and so on. They are generally hard and fragile, smelly, opaque and dull, and do not stick.
Third, how to eat Ejiao is better?
1. Take a spoonful of Geely powder (about 3 ~ 9g) at a time, and add hot milk, soybean milk, rock sugar, etc. (above 80℃) while stirring to fully dissolve the rubber powder.
In addition to nourishing blood, nourishing yin and moistening dryness, the above eating methods are also very effective for upset insomnia and cough and asthma. Adding honey or eggs is also good for treating cough and asthma. )
2. soup?
Put some Geely powder in stew or other soup and drink soup to treat anemia. Boil a few slices of onion in water, and then add a small amount of donkey-hide gelatin and honey to the boiled water. (Ejiao can nourish yin and promote fluid production, moisten the intestines and relieve constipation, which is very suitable for people who are prone to constipation in the elderly. )
3. Colla Corii Asini paste, Colla Corii Asini cake/Guyuan paste
Sheet or paste, convenient to eat.
Fourth, how to teach yourself to make Ejiao cakes?
Friends who are not used to the taste of Ejiao can try to make their own Ejiao cakes.
At that time, Yang Guifei took sesame, walnut and Ejiao. Nowadays, women don't have the pressure of "making up their sixth house", but if they want to be "if she just turns her head and smiles, she has a hundred spells" and take good care of herself, they might as well try Yang Guifei's beauty secret recipe.
