Generally, sea cucumber dried with salt looks pale, while dried with sugar looks shiny, full and beautiful, and the price is cheap. If you eat by yourself, buy some dry salt. It's not very nice, but it's affordable.
So, what's the difference between dry sugar and dry salt? Can people tell the difference when buying sea cucumbers? Bian Xiao consulted relevant experts of the Sea Cucumber Information Network. Experts said: When many citizens buy sea cucumbers, they always think that black sea cucumbers are good, but in fact black sea cucumbers are ugly and black. Black sea cucumbers on the market are generally dried with sugar, and the price of sugar in dry sea cucumber will be much lower. The reason is that the weight of added sugar or salt will increase a lot, so it will be weighed.
Sugar dry sea cucumber is black and beautiful, and tastes sweet, but experts from Sea Cucumber Information Network said that in 20 1 1 year, the Ministry of Health made it clear that other food additives other than salt were not allowed in dry sea cucumber, which meant that "Sugar dry sea cucumber" with a large sugar content would completely withdraw from the market. At present, the pale dry sea cucumber epidermis and feet (suckers of sea cucumbers) on the market are clear and good, with a grayish brown appearance, small head but high hair volume. The appearance of salt dry sea cucumber is usually covered with a layer of salt particles or salt foam, which is white in appearance and has no clear epidermis and feet.
