All the items have high and low quality, high quality means the price will be high, low quality price will be low, sea cucumber will not be an exception.
The price of sea cucumbers ranges from 600 yuan a catty, 6,000 yuan a catty to 16,000 yuan a catty, which can be seen, the price gap is very big, sea cucumbers are very valuable ingredients, nutritional value and medicinal value are very high. We often divide sea cucumber into artificial culture and wild sea cucumber. Comparing with artificial culture sea cucumber, wild sea cucumber has a stronger taste and no astringent flavor, and after cutting with a knife, the cut is neat, so the price of wild sea cucumber will naturally be higher than the price of artificial culture sea cucumber. As mentioned above, there are many kinds of sea cucumbers, and the value of different kinds of sea cucumbers will be different, so the price will naturally be higher or lower. Different places of origin will also affect the price of sea cucumbers, Dalian Changhai sea cucumbers, Shandong Long Island sea cucumbers, the best sea cucumbers in the country of origin.
Second, how to choose the sea cucumber
Understanding the price of sea cucumber market, the next step is to understand how to better select the sea cucumber, not easily deceived by the business!
According to relevant data, the life span of sea cucumber is about 10 years, more than 10 years will melt in the sea, when you buy sea cucumber, you must choose the sea cucumber of about 5-8 years, because this time the sea cucumber is the young, the nutrition is also the most abundant time, the age of the sea cucumber will become old taste and nutritional value of the sea cucumber is reduced, young sea cucumbers will be insufficient nutrition, so the time of the selection is also more important.
For artificial cultivated sea cucumbers, because the cultivated sea cucumbers will shorten the growth period of sea cucumbers, the growth period is relatively short, the difference in size for the nutritional value of the difference is not very big, but for the wild sea cucumbers, there is a certain gap, so the wild sea cucumbers bigger the better and bigger sea cucumbers taste better than the small sea cucumbers.
Sea cucumber color and nutrition, the color of the sea cucumber just fished out of the sea is earthy yellow, some are dark green, some are gray-brown, according to expert research, the color of the sea cucumber and the growth of the environment has a relationship with the environmental changes, because with the change of the environment, the color itself will also change. Sea cucumbers growing between seaweed plants will be affected by the environment, and their own color will be greenish like seaweed, while sea cucumbers living near rocks are generally dark brown in color. This feature, also a bit like a chameleon, will change its color according to the color of the environment, so when you buy sea cucumbers, some times the color is different, but its nutritional value is almost the same.
