The growth and development period of sea cucumber is related to its nutritional content. It can be called adult ginseng if it is more than 3 years old. The older the sea cucumber is, it has spent a long time in the deep sea and absorbed a large amount of deep sea essence, and its body deposits are richer in nutrients. Therefore, the longer the shelf life of sea cucumbers, the thicker the meat texture, the higher the nutritional content, and the more valuable it is.

Sea cucumber is a delicacy of seafood. Ancient books say that "sea cucumber has a warm and tonic nature, which is enough to fight against enemy ginseng", so it is called sea cucumber. Another saying is that it is called sea cucumber because it looks like ginseng and is born in the sea.

Selection skills

Look at the color, black or not. Good sea cucumbers should be gray-brown or dark-brown, with a shiny surface and gray or white intestines. Inferior sea cucumbers mixed with sugar are dark in color, and their intestines will turn red or black. ?

Look at the shape and pinch it. Good sea cucumbers have a well-proportioned body, firm flesh, sharp and complete spines, are relatively hard to the touch and are not easy to bend. The sea cucumber mixed with sugar is just the opposite. The body is easy to bend, but the spines are straight.

Heat it and bend it. Sugar dissolves easily, so you can find ways to warm the sea cucumbers when buying them. The simplest thing is to rub your hands to warm them, then hold the sea cucumber in your hands for a while. When the hands are warm, grab the two ends of the sea cucumber and let it bend. If you find that the sea cucumber has become bent and soft, and the higher the temperature, the more obvious this change is, it means that it has been mixed with sugar.
