"Bird's nest" grows on seabed reefs and is a unique seafood flavor in spring. It sprouts along with spring, and the waning of spring is the joy of harvest.

The so-called "bird's nest" is called red cabbage. It is a kind of natural premium seaweed. Because of its extremely high nutritional value, its colloid is as thick as a bird's nest and grows on seabed reefs. So it is called "sea bird's nest", and its growth is not single, but grows into a large cluster. It makes people feel as difficult to deal with as a bird's nest. It looks red and grows quickly. The scientific name of this algae is sea radish, which has different names in different regions. In the south, it is commonly known as red cabbage. It is commonly called Niu Mao in the north, but it is called "red cabbage" in the Fujian accent here. It is a cash crop that grows quickly and has a short growth period. Because they grow on submarine reefs and are affected by weather and tides, their numbers are very small.

"Undersea bird's nests" grow in areas that are impacted by waves, have high salinity, are vertically distributed on sea rocks, and mostly grow towards the light. Coastal reefs are more suitable for growth. The sea surface only emerges when the tide recedes. Manual picking is laborious and requires the use of professional tools to pick one by one, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. When the sea tide rises, it is impossible to pick, so the picking efficiency is limited and the labor cost is relatively high.

After the "sea bird's nest" is picked from the reef, it is washed and dried in fresh water. After about five times, the color changes from dark red and black to red, and finally turns white. This is also called "bleaching."

After the finished product, because it originally grew in the cracks of the stone, there may be a small amount of sand during the processing, which needs to be further cleaned. No need to store in refrigerator. The normal shelf life is best consumed within one year. After drying, the price of this "sea bird's nest" in the market has reached 3,000 yuan per pound. Although this sounds ridiculous, this is the reality. Therefore, we have to admit that no matter what it is, as long as it exists, it is reasonable, and as long as it exists, it is valuable.

"Undersea bird's nest" is one of the secret recipes for longevity and longevity in the coastal areas of Southeast Asia. Can help digestion and enhance people's immunity. "Sea bird's nest" is a magical food. When eating, you can take a small amount, brew or boil it with boiling water, and add some sugar. You can make jelly in summer. If autumn comes and the weather is dry, you can boil it with sugar water to moisten your throat and remove the dryness. You can also add some red dates. It is a very good sugar water for women! The "sea bird's nest" tastes very good and sticky. Since it is a purely wild product, it will have a bit of a fishy smell.

In the ocean, there is also a kind of red algae called "sea bird's nest". Its scientific name is Haishihua. It also grows on submarine reefs and has very good nutritional value. But red cabbage is more valuable than seaweed. Its growth environment, nutritional value, and market demand are far greater than those of sea stone flowers. So I think it is more appropriate to call Akacai "undersea bird's nest". Because the amount of red cabbage is limited each year, it is also known as "sea shark's fin" in some areas.
