Why does snail powder stink? Is eating snail powder healthy?
The smell of snail powder comes from rotten bamboo shoots inside, and snail powder itself has no smell, so you don't have to worry about eating snail powder unhealthy. Snail powder is a unique food in Guangxi. A classmate in my university is from Guangxi, so I have been to Guangxi with her once. After arriving in Guangxi at that time, she treated me to a bowl of authentic Guangxi snail powder.

When I first arrived at the snail powder shop, I smelled a bad smell, so I asked my classmates: Does snail powder stink? ? She said that snail powder is definitely not smelly, and the smell comes from pickled bamboo shoots. Smelly bamboo shoots are unique snacks in Guangxi. They are dried and sealed in containers. Later, I asked her why she pickled bamboo shoots. She said that's because rotten bamboo shoots last longer, because things like bamboo shoots last for a short time, especially fresh bamboo shoots, which will get old soon after picking.

But it will last for a long time after being pickled into rotten bamboo shoots. Because Guangxi people especially like to eat bamboo shoots, but fresh bamboo shoots won't last long. If they want to eat bamboo shoots in winter, they can only pickle them so that they can eat them at any time.

In addition, bamboo shoots pickled with snail powder are more delicious. Just like pickled tofu turns into stinky tofu, the reason is the same. So after listening to her explanation, I understand why the snail powder in Guangxi stinks.

Later, after the snail powder came up, I ate it. Snail powder smells like stinky tofu, just like stinky tofu. I didn't feel the taste at all when I ate it, but I still found it very rare and fragrant. Later, my classmates also told me that it is best to eat snail powder with a little sweet barbecued pork, which tastes better.

Because snail powder has a sweet and fresh smell, which can increase the layering of the mouth, I ordered a plate of barbecued pork, which is really delicious with snail powder. So since I ate snail powder that time, I can still recall the taste. That taste is very attractive, representing the cultural characteristics of Guangxi and containing vitality.
