Authentic snail powder will have a strong strange smell, which comes from the sour radish in Liuzhou snail powder. It is made of fresh bamboo shoots after alcoholization, and its taste makes many people stay away from it, but those who understand and appreciate its connotation will understand that it is fragrant but not rotten, and it will strengthen the spleen and stimulate appetite, make thoughts flow and make food tumble.

Liuzhou snail powder contains 123 calories per100g, which is not particularly high, and can be eaten under the condition of losing weight.
