Why does sea cucumber become water?
The specific reasons are as follows:
1. Reasons for leaving seawater: Since sea cucumbers will automatically melt into liquid after leaving seawater for 6-7 hours and disappear without a trace, fresh sea cucumbers should be treated as soon as possible after leaving seawater, otherwise they will melt, which is why sea cucumbers are rarely sold in the market in fresh form.
2. Oil-induced: Because sea cucumber contains a lot of protein, autolytic enzymes act on protein, and sea cucumber will soon become a pool of water after being stimulated by oil.
Therefore, when buying sea cucumbers, you must eat them as soon as possible or keep them properly.
