From ancient times to now, China people are good at discovering many foods in nature, some of which have become our daily specialties, while others have been named as "delicious foods", which are offerings of the ancient palace of moisture in China, and even if they are put into modern times, they are very expensive. In ancient times, "Yaozhu" was regarded as a valuable offering enjoyed by the royal family. Perhaps many people did not know what food it was when they heard it. If you mentioned it, everyone would be clear. Folk "Yaozhu" is called "Yaozhu", which is a common dry seafood in various supermarkets.
To put it bluntly, "Yaozhu" is a kind of dried food made by drying the muscle in the shellfish, pearl oyster. Its taste is extremely delicious, and it was once known as one of the "eight treasures of the sea", which can be regarded as a unique seafood ingredient. Oysters are often used to make "Yaozhu", which is also a common one in the market at present. In fact, there are more than 31 kinds of shellfish that can be used to make "Yaozhu", but there are only a few common ones, such as Oyster Yaozhu, Riyuebeiyaozhu, "Xishihua" Yaozhu, and its clam Yaozhu.
With the improvement of people's living standards, dried seafood products have become more popular all over the country. In many cities, dried seafood can be bought, and natural dried scallops are one of them. However, compared with ordinary dried seafood, dried scallops are more expensive. Generally, the prices are divided into several levels according to the quality of scallops, and the lowest ones can't get down to tens of yuan a catty. In addition, dried scallops are ground, and the usage of a catty is actually not much.
However, because Yaozhu is delicious, even if it is a plain vegetable soup, adding some Yaozhu reflects a lot. Besides, Yaozhu is rich in nutrients, including various nutrients, proteins, vitamins, etc., so people who like to eat Yaozhu in daily life abound. Even if the price is a little high, many people still want to buy some.
However, when purchasing Yaozhu, it is best to choose a golden color. When you open it by hand, the meat inside is more beautiful in golden or light brown. This Yaozhu is fresher than others. The dried scallops with a layer of "salt frost" on the surface are generally dried for a long time, and the taste of nourishing soup is ok, but if it is used for cooking, its taste is not as good as fresh. What is the "Yaozhu" called "Eight Treasures of the Sea"? The price is "expensive", but many people eat it! So, do you like "Yaozhu"?
