Therefore, light dry sea cucumber, which can only be eaten after soaking, has become the mainstream product in the sea cucumber market. Sending ginseng refers to changing sea cucumber from dry state to full state, which is not only more in line with our taste, but also easier to absorb nutrients. From the point of view of nutrition, a good dry sea cucumber is simply processed and dried, and there is basically no loss of nutrition. As long as dry sea cucumber is processed regularly, its nutritional value is not much different from that of fresh sea cucumber. These nutrients in dry sea cucumber must be absorbed by human body through foaming process. By means of boiling, the original nutritious sea cucumber can absorb water again. On the other hand, the salt added in the processing of sea cucumber will be precipitated during soaking, and the protein rich in sea cucumber can be better absorbed.
