Snow Bird's Nest is the natural gelatinous secretion of the applesauce plant. Snow Bird's Nest is made by manually cutting through the trunk of the applesauce tree, punching holes in it to collect the pith secretion, and then air-drying it to become snow bird's nest. It is similar in nature to Peach Gum and is called "Snow Bird's Nest" because it resembles Bird's Nest after soaking.

Snow Bird's Nest is mainly produced in tropical and subtropical areas. For example, the Snow Bird's Nest from Myanmar is a secretion from the Apple Tree, which is known as "Lassi Snow Bird's Nest". The snow swallow from Vietnam, Indonesia and other places is the secretion of the downy apple tree, the trade name "Vietnam snow swallow, Indonesia snow swallow, Yunnan snow swallow", this plant in China Yunnan also has a small amount of distribution.

Difference between Snow Bird's Nest and Bird's Nest

1, different sources

Bird's nests are made of the saliva secreted by some Swiftlets and Swiftlets together with other digestive substances, while Snow Bird's Nest is made of artificially cut tree trunks of Appaloosas, and artificially cut the barks of trees to collect colloidal secretion, and then air-dried into the nests.

2. Different soaking volume

A high-quality bird's nest can reach 6-10 times of its original volume after soaking, i.e., 6 grams of dried bird's nest can be soaked to produce 36-60 grams of wet bird's nest, while Snow Bird's Nest can be soaked to reach 30-50 times of its original volume after soaking, i.e., 3 grams of dried Snow Bird's Nest can be soaked to produce 30-60 grams of wet bird's nest. In other words, 3 grams of dry swiftlet can produce 90-150 grams of wet swiftlet.

3. Different flavors and textures

Bird's nest contains a high amount of protein, which smells like protein and tastes soft and elastic, while Snow Bird's Nest is a kind of gelatinous secretion from the pith of the Snow Bird's Nest tree, which has an acidic flavor and tastes soft and dense, but both of them will be turned into water after a long period of soaking and stewing, and it is important to remember that you shouldn't stew them for too long.
