Second, the taste difference.
Instant sea cucumber tastes softer, has a more delicate texture, and melts in the mouth. Fresh sea cucumber is more chewy, more delicious and has better meat quality.

The shelf life of ready-to-eat sea cucumbers is short and needs to be stored at low temperature, while the shelf life of fresh sea cucumbers is long, which can be stored for several months to one year or at room temperature.
