If the storage environment is humid, Ejiao can easily absorb the moisture in the air, and it is easy to get wet, and its texture will become soft, not as hard as before. This is a relatively common situation. After water softening, the ingredients in Ejiao will not deteriorate and the medicinal properties will not be greatly lost. It can still be eaten after treatment and has no adverse effects on the body.

There are many fake and shoddy Ejiao that can't be eaten in the market. Different brands of Ejiao will have different qualities, and even many fake Ejiao will appear, especially some unknown small pharmacies or online shopping platforms. Inferior and counterfeit Ejiao is generally made of mixed skin, rotten skin, Niu Pijiao and other gelatin. The texture of these gums is easy to soften, with a strange smell, the surface is not very smooth and uneven, and there are pores in the middle. This is not only not good for health care, but also easy to harm health, so it is not recommended to eat.
