There are two kinds of sea cucumber products in the market: dry sea cucumber and instant sea cucumber, among which instant sea cucumber has always been praised by "kitchen blindness" and "lazy cancer". But this has made many unscrupulous traders smell huge profits and deceive consumers by various means. In order to avoid wasting more money, the second brother, an expert in shopping and consumption guidance, summed up some common cheating skills. Let's have a look.

First of all, chemical treatment is the most common way to make sea cucumbers bigger and better. Water-soaked ready-to-eat sea cucumber should have swelled, but many vendors use chemicals such as caustic soda and formalin to keep water and keep fresh in order to make the sea cucumber more beautiful and bigger, which not only destroys the nutritional components of sea cucumber, but also does great harm to human body after eating it. At present, there are no clear standards and specifications for ready-to-eat sea cucumbers, and the quality of products is uneven. Therefore, it is recommended that you go to a regular shopping mall to buy more safely.

Secondly, there are many cases in which merchants pretend to sell wild sea cucumbers with cultured sea cucumbers. Because most consumers are amateurs and the sea cucumber market lacks standards, they choose according to the publicity of the merchants when purchasing. Many unscrupulous merchants regard cultured sea cucumbers as wild sea cucumbers and sell them at high prices to deceive consumers. In fact, the number of wild sea cucumbers is very small, which is difficult to see in the market. I hope consumers can know fairly well and don't be deceived by the exaggerated propaganda of the merchants.

In addition to the above two deceptive methods, there is the problem of ready-to-eat sea cucumber raw materials. There are two kinds of ready-to-eat sea cucumbers: fresh processing and water processing. Among them, there are many traps in water processing of ready-to-eat sea cucumber, and it is more common to make it with inferior dry sea cucumber. This kind of ready-to-eat sea cucumber has basically no nutritional value, and it is not easy for consumers to distinguish it. I suggest that you try to buy high-quality brands of ready-to-eat seafood, so that the quality of the products is more guaranteed. The above are some common traps for selecting sea cucumbers, which I hope will help you to buy sea cucumbers. If you have other questions, you can also pay attention to the second brother network. There is a lot of shopping knowledge to share with you.
