As we all know, tremella has high nutritional value, so tremella is increasingly favored by the public. However, when people buy tremella, they often choose some so-called "fresh tremella". In fact, the "fresh tremella" circulating in the market is processed, non-toxic and can be directly cooked and eaten. In fact, the real fresh tremella is different, which is different from ordinary tremella.

On the one hand, as far as the production technology is concerned, fresh tremella is not processed, while ordinary tremella is processed and dried at multiple levels.

On the other hand, fresh tremella contains porphyrin photosensitivity. After eating fresh tremella, porphyrin photosensitivity will be distributed in human epidermal cells with blood circulation. At this time, exposure to the sun may lead to solar dermatitis, redness, itching and pain in the skin, and bright red papules and blisters. Porphyrin photosensitive substances are also easily absorbed by the throat mucosa, leading to symptoms such as throat edema, general malaise, runny nose, watery eyes, fatigue and shortness of breath. Ordinary tremella does not contain porphyrin photosensitive substances, which is harmless and beneficial to human body.

Now, you should know the difference between fresh tremella and tremella, so when picking tremella, don't cook it easily, because most wild tremella are poisonous.

Tremella fuciformis fruiting body is pure white to milky white, 5-1 cm in diameter, soft, white, translucent and elastic.
