Are Liaoshen, Sea Cucumber and Stichopus japonicus the same thing? If not, what's the difference between them?
There are more than 1,1 species of sea cucumbers in the world, more than 4 species of edible sea cucumbers, and more than 2 species of edible sea cucumbers in China's coastal areas. Sea cucumbers are divided into two categories: sea cucumbers and sea cucumbers, which are marked by whether there are warty protrusions on their backs. Generally speaking, the nutritional value of Stichopus japonicus is higher than that of Stichopus japonicus. Both Liaoshen and Kanto ginseng belong to one kind of Stichopus japonicus. Stichopus japonicus has a thick and soft wall, which is one of the best quality sea cucumbers and is known as the "crown of ginseng". However, because it is wild, the sea area is small and the output is very limited, only a few big brands like Fulinmen Sea Cucumber and Tongrentang can buy it in China. If it is a gift, it is more appropriate to choose Tongrentang Sea Cucumber. If it is for your family, it is more affordable to choose Fulinmen sea cucumber.
