Extended data
Bird's nest, also known as bird's nest, swallow root and swallow dish, refers to a nest made by mixing saliva secreted by some Swifts of Swift Family of Swift Order and Jin Siyan of several species of Swiftlet in Jin Siyan with other substances.
Bird's nest can be divided into "domestic swallow" and "cave swallow" according to the nesting location. Dongyan is influenced by minerals in different colors, including Bai Yan, Huangyan and Hongyan, while domestic swallow is only ivory white. Bird's Nest is one of the traditional precious foods that China has been eating since the Ming Dynasty. The so-called "blood swallow" on the market is said to be made of "bird droppings" by artificially bred domestic swallows.
Component efficacy
The main nutritional component of bird's nest is protein, which contains 1 essential amino acid (lysine) and 3 conditionally essential amino acids. Bird's nest is often eaten with sea extract ginseng, which can improve the efficacy of bird's nest. There are 8 kinds of essential amino acids needed by human body, and there are 13 kinds in conditionally essential amino acid.
Main producing areas
The main origin of bird's nest is from the Philippines in the east to the desert island caves near the coast of Myanmar in the west, with Indonesia, Malaysia, Sandakan, Singapore, Thailand and the South China Sea islands as the majority.
Among them, Indonesia has the best bird's nest quality and the largest bird's nest output, followed by Malaysia, because the weather and environment are most suitable for swallows to live together. According to statistics, by the end of 20 10, Indonesia's bird's nest accounted for 85%-90% of the global bird's nest production, Malaysia accounted for 5%- 10%, Thailand 3%, Vietnam, the Philippines and other places about 2% (refer to the data of Hong Kong Trade Department for several years).
A subspecies of Jin Siyan in Java, namely cfuciphagemmani, was once collected in Yannan Island and can be used to make edible bird's nest. Jin Siyan has a short mouth, which is produced in the southwest of China and the southeast of Quincy. The earliest works with detailed records are Materia Medica and Ben Feng Jingyuan.
There are six kinds of bird's nest in Jin Siyan that can produce bird's nest. The saliva secreted by various birds of Swift (Swift Family) and their down is mixed and condensed on cliffs or farmhouses.
