Sour bamboo shoots are the essence of snail powder, which is made from fresh bamboo shoots soaked and fermented for half a month. The special technology used in the fermentation process will not completely isolate oxygen. In this process, anaerobic bacteria and aerobic bacteria work together to convert sugar and protein in fresh bamboo shoots into amino acids and organic acids, which will emit a "charming" smell.

Fermented food has a unique taste more or less. The taste of sour bamboo shoots is indeed a little sour, because sour bamboo shoots will inevitably produce this taste in the process of fermentation, and this taste is also the characteristic of snail powder.

The production technology of sour bamboo shoots is relatively extensive, and the fermentation environment is not completely isolated from oxygen. Through the synergistic effect of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, sugar and protein in bamboo shoots are fermented and converted into various amino acids, organic acids, aldehydes, alcohols and other substances.

Food fermented by microorganisms will be easier to digest and absorb than the original food. In the processing of snail powder, the combination of heat and spicy makes all kinds of odor substances evaporate rapidly.

In addition, there are naturally screws in snail powder, and a certain amount of screws will be added when cooking snail powder soup. The soup cooked with screws will produce a special fishy smell when it is cold, but the fishy smell will disappear after the snail powder is cooked.

It is said that the history of snail powder can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty and even related to the great poet Liu Zongyuan. Although it can't be verified due to its long history, at least one thing can be said that snails and rice noodles have a long history in Liuzhou.
