Although raw sea cucumber has become a popular way to eat, although repeated soaking of sea cucumber does lead to some nutrient loss, it is not advisable to eat raw sea cucumber. Because there is a protective film outside some nutrient molecules in sea cucumber, this protective film will not be destroyed by cooking, which is not conducive to human absorption and will cause nutrient waste.

In addition, some microorganisms harmful to the human body will be attached to the sea cucumber during its growth, so proper high-temperature cooking can play a sterilization role and is more conducive to health. The content of protein in sea cucumber accounts for more than half. In the process of cooking and making, protein is the main loss, and the content of protein in eggs is higher than that of sea cucumber, so the loss of protein is not a special pity for sea cucumber.

Moreover, if it is not boiled and soaked repeatedly, the loss of nutrients is not serious. Therefore, for the sake of health and safety, it is best to eat sea cucumbers cooked.

Extended data:

Although many people like to soak the sea cucumber the night before and eat one on an empty stomach the next morning, this eating method is unscientific, and the sea cucumber is directly converted into ordinary energy and consumed. It is better to eat eggs than to eat them, which does not play a role in health care. The correct way to eat is to eat some starch or sugar food first, and then eat sea cucumber.

If you are not physically weak or chronically ill, you don't have to eat sea cucumber all year round, just start eating after winter. You don't have to eat too much each day. A small sea cucumber can eat one a day. After the light snow in 24 solar terms, you can even eat 8 1 day. If it is a big sea cucumber, eating half a day is enough for the human body's nutrition, and eating more is not beneficial to health.
