Why are Icelandic sea cucumbers so cheap?
Because locals don't eat, they can only export cheaply.

The wild sea cucumber in Iceland is pure natural wild ginseng. I believe everyone is familiar with Iceland. The country uses renewable energy and is extremely environmentally friendly. In addition, glaciers and snow-capped mountains cover the land, and there is no pollution caused by industrial and human activities around the ocean.

The wild sea cucumber in Iceland grows about 30 feet underwater in the North Atlantic at 64 degrees north latitude, which is close to the Arctic Circle. The temperature of seawater is kept below 4℃ all the year round, and the surface layer freezes in winter, which makes it impossible to enter all the year round.

The sea cucumber grown in this environment does not contain any pollutants. Because of its long growth period, it is rich in nutrients and active substances, and its quality far exceeds that of other sea cucumbers.

The nutritional value of wild sea cucumbers in Iceland is so high that Icelanders don't eat them. This is simply because Icelanders don't like it, just like many people abroad will never eat animal offal. This is a question of psychological acceptance. In the eyes of Icelanders, sea cucumbers are probably as terrible as animal internal organs.

Therefore, sea cucumber is called the well-grown and completely wild one in Iceland. When it is long enough to catch fish, local people don't eat it, so they can only export it, which is cheaper for domestic health care people.

The popularity of Icelandic sea cucumber is mainly due to its low salt content and high expansion rate, which can easily reach 10- 12 times. The preferential price and high quality of wild sea cucumbers in Iceland are increasingly sought after by sea cucumber health professionals.
