Tips:
1. There are a lot of donkey-hide gelatin on Taobao. The so-called price is paid for. If you buy it, you can buy the old brand with a price of more than 500 yuan per catty;
2. It is not difficult to boil Ejiao, but it is very troublesome, because the cooking process is very laborious, especially after adding various materials, it is very viscous, stirring is physical work, you must be patient. It is more laborious to clean the pots and pans. I cleaned them by boiling water in the pot. The process is unbearable;
3. The boiled donkey-hide gelatin must be poured into a container covered with plastic wrap while it is hot, and it will solidify if it is cold;
4. When taking out donkey-hide gelatin paste after 24 hours, use a sharp knife to cut into pieces after tearing off the plastic wrap. Put it in the refrigerator if you don't usually eat it;
5. Before boiling donkey-hide gelatin, it is best to see if you can eat it. Under normal circumstances, both men and women can eat it, but menstruating women should not eat it, and it is also not suitable for people with three highs. After miscarriage and postpartum, you need to wait until the lochia is drained before taking it. Do not take it if the child is too young;
6. Ejiao is a good thing, but you shouldn’t eat too much. It is easy to get angry. You should take it at most 2-3 yuan a day and take it for a long time. This time, it should be enough for one person to eat for one and a half months. Let’s refer to it.
