It tastes delicious and nutritious. It has the same health care function as Chinese wolfberry, and it can be eaten often without side effects.

After several years of experiments, Wulanchabu Agricultural Science Research Institute has the advantages of easy cultivation, high yield and good benefit. The development of this special food industry is not only a good way for farmers to get rich, but also a new green of the vegetable industry in our city.

As for the triploid seedless Lycium barbarum, compared with Lycium barbarum No. 1, the best diploid cultivated in China at present, it has a higher content of nutrients (total sugar content increased by 37.59%, polysaccharide content increased by 20.00%, total amino acid content increased by 9.50%,) fewer seeds (the number of seeds decreased by 8.70% compared with Ningqi No.1). The number of full seeds decreased by 88.80%), high yield (the single grain weight of fresh fruit increased by 7.33% compared with Ningqi No. 1, and the yield increased by 6.63%). Moreover, the fruit has bright color, crystal clear, thin skin and thick meat, and tastes good. It can not only be used as a deep processing variety, but also the first choice for special fruit fresh food.
