Introduction to how to eat snow clams. In the process of making snow clams, soaking and making are very simple, but removing the fishy smell is the key. If it is not soaked well, it will look ugly at most, but it will not affect the effect of taking it; if it is not soaked well, it will taste bad at most, but it will not affect the effect of taking it. But if the fishy smell is not removed well, it will affect the use, so this step is key. 1. Storage: At room temperature, the shelf life of flake snow clams is about 15-20 days; the shelf life of conjoined snow clams is about 13-15 days. Beyond this time, it must be frozen and stored. In the frozen state, it can be stored for 24 months. 2. Soaking hair: Weakly alkaline water (bottled purified water) is more suitable for soaking snow clams. Snow clams at room temperature can be soaked for 6-8 hours. Frozen snow clams can be soaked for 8-10 hours. For some large pieces of snow clam, in order to facilitate soaking, it is best to break them apart manually, or soak them for a period of time and then separate them. Because soaking and stewing are all to facilitate absorption. If you want to soak your hair quickly, you can use weakly alkaline water at 70-80 degrees Celsius and soak it for 3-4 hours. 3. Remove the fishy smell: The fishy smell is the characteristic of snow clam itself (if it is made by drying, the degree of fishy smell will be relatively light). To remove it, you can use the following methods: 1. Soak - add ginger slices, for every 3 grams of snow clam, add 4-5 slices of ginger, take out when stewing 2. Stew - add rock sugar, if stewed with concentrated orange juice or coconut milk, the fishy removal effect will be more significant 3. Take - add coconut Juice or honey Note: Orange juice concentrate does not refer to drinks such as Huiyuan orange juice or orange juice, fresh orange juice, etc., but refers to a special condiment, which is very viscous and must be sold in large supermarkets. 4. Simple preparation method: After soaking the snow clams, add wolfberry, white fungus, lotus seeds (or papaya dices), and rock sugar, simmer for 30 minutes, then simmer for 10 minutes. Note 1: Tremella and lotus seeds are usually stewed in advance and made with snow clams. Note 2: Snow clams do not need to be stewed in a stew pot. It is recommended to use a stainless steel container and an induction cooker (just set it to the soup setting) to make it. Note 3: The power of electric stew pots varies greatly, so we have not tried it. It can definitely be used, but you need to control the heat and time yourself. 5. Textbook-style production method: A. Ingredients for stewed snow clam with papaya: one papaya (about 700 grams in weight), 10 grams of snow clam, one cup of fresh milk, one cup of water, and one or two pieces of rock sugar. Method:

1. Soak the snow clam in water for four hours or one night, remove the dirt, wash it, put it in boiling water and cook for a while, then drain the water;

2. Clean the skin of the papaya and cut 2/5 of the top. Make a lid, cut the papaya into zigzag shapes, scoop out the core and pulp, and put the papaya into the stew pot;

3. Dissolve the rock sugar and water together, then add the snow clam paste and simmer for half an hour, add fresh Let the milk boil. After boiling, pour it into the papaya cup, cover it, insert a toothpick into the papaya lid, and simmer for one hour. B. Snow clam and white fungus stewed bird's nest

Ingredients: 3 grams of snow clam, 3 grams of bird's nest, 3 grams of white fungus, and 30 grams of rock sugar.

1. Soak the bird's nest, snow clam and white fungus in warm water;

2. Remove the bird's nest feathers with tweezers and tear them into strips; wash the snow clam , remove black impurities; tear the white fungus into petals;

3. Put the bird's nest, snow clam and white fungus into a stew pot, add 1 bowl of boiling water, cover the stew pot and stew it with water;

4. After the water in the pot boils, simmer on high heat for 30 minutes, add rock sugar and then simmer on low heat for 10-20 minutes;

5. After simmering, take it out and wait Take after warming. Frequently Asked Questions: 1. Under what circumstances is it not suitable to take snow clam? Answer: Anyone over 15 years old, regardless of gender, can take it. 2. What are the hairs of snow clam? Answer: The hair refers to the weight ratio of the snow clam before and after soaking, not the volume ratio before and after soaking. That is: hair head = weight after foaming/weight before foaming. 3. Are the hormones contained in snow clams harmful to the human body? Answer: First, snow clams do contain estrogen, but the estrogen of wood frogs has no effect on humans. This is a matter of species differences and is easy to understand. Otherwise, female fish, chickens, ducks, and pigs cannot be eaten. Second, at the same time, during the stewing process, the estrogen of the wood frog has been fully inactivated, so you can take it with confidence.

4. The main component of snow clam is collagen. What is the difference between it and "collagen soft capsule"? Answer: First, collagen soft capsules do not have the effects of snow clams on enhancing immunity, anti-fatigue, and lowering blood lipids. Second, the quality of collagen from various manufacturers now varies greatly. Most of them are extracted from plants or chemically synthesized collagen, which is crude protein and has poor bioavailability. Third, when production is inconvenient, collagen soft capsules are still the best substitute for snow clams. 5. Why can’t some snow clams be soaked and are even very hard? Answer: Snow clam is the fallopian tube of wood frog, which is extracted artificially. During the extraction process, if the skin of the wood frog is not peeled off cleanly and there are residues of wood frog skin, this situation will easily occur. But there won't be many, they exist randomly. 6. Will it make me gain weight if I take snow clam regularly? Answer: Only when the protein intake exceeds the daily basic needs of the human body, it will be converted into fat tissue and stored in the body, leading to weight gain. The human body's protein requirements are related to gender, age, activity intensity and physiological state. Generally speaking, there are more men than women; there are more young people than old people; there are more strong activities than weak activities; and there are more wet nurses among pregnant women than women of childbearing age. The reference protein intake set by the Chinese Nutrition Society in 2000 is 1.16 grams per kilogram of body weight per day for adults. If a person weighs 65 kilograms, the daily protein intake required is 1.16 grams × 65 kilograms = 75.4 grams. This amount of protein can be obtained from the following foods: 400 grams (8 taels) of rice or flour, 100 grams (2 taels) of livestock, poultry, and fish, 50 grams (1 tael) of eggs, 50 grams (1 tael) of beans, 2 taels), 100 grams of milk (2 taels). Therefore, the intake of 3 grams of snow clam will not lead to the accumulation of fat tissue. 7. How long does it take to see the effects of taking snow clam? Answer: As we all know, skin is composed of epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue. The skin's metabolic cycle is generally considered to last 28 days for the outermost layer of cuticles. As age changes, this value will become longer and longer, reaching approximately 45 days at age 60. Supplements taken internally require at least 3-4 skin metabolism cycles, or even longer, to be effective. It is unrealistic to take effect in too short a time. 8. How to take snow clam to achieve the best effect? Answer: First, stew it thoroughly, which is beneficial to the absorption of collagen and other nutrients. Second, take it on an empty stomach every morning, which is also beneficial to the body’s absorption. Third, during the period of taking, the normal amount of protein, fat and carbohydrates should be maintained. Ingestion of compounds. Otherwise, the edible snow clam will be decomposed by the body as an energy source material, and will not have the effect of beautifying the skin. 9. What is the difference between snow clam and bird's nest? Answer: The main component of snow clam is collagen, which is an essential raw material for skin metabolism and repair; the main component of bird's nest is epidermal growth factor, which promotes skin repair and metabolism; if snow clam is compared to gasoline, then bird's nest is the accelerator. Only by combining them can you take the lead in the long road of beauty and beauty. However, generally under the age of 30, the body’s metabolic function is strong, so simply supplementing with snow clams is enough. Unless you have severe acne, dark circles, eye bags, spots, etc., you need to take bird's nest according to the situation. Between the ages of 30 and 40, you need to supplement bird's nest in moderation on the basis of daily consumption of snow clams, because at this time, all aspects of the body's functions are gradually declining, so you need to take 10 supplements for 30 days when the seasons change. -15 bird's nests. If you are over 40 years old, you need to take snow clams and bird's nests at the same time regularly.
