1. From a nutritional point of view: there is no obvious difference between the two, basically the same.
2. In terms of taste: red leaf toon has a strong taste, and you can smell the aroma from afar, while green leaf toon is more restrained and light in taste, so you can choose your favorite toon according to your personal preference, I personally prefer red toon, because I like its color, and I prefer the strong taste of toon.
