Yaozhu, also known as dried Yaozhu, Jiangyan column, vest column, etc., has many kinds, and scallop is one of them. Yaozhu is a dried product made from the closed shell muscles of various shellfish. It is listed as one of the "Eight Treasures of the Sea" because of its delicious taste and is known as the "Best Seafood". Yaozhu is especially good for its plump grain shape, light yellow color, dry and fragrant feel, tender, waxy, fresh and sweet taste.

A coup to choose Yaozhu

First: look at the size.

Buy a big yaozhu instead of a small one. Generally speaking, the bigger the shape, the better its growth. The bigger the Yao Zhu in the market, the more expensive it is, and some prices can even differ by several times. Moreover, the quality of Yaozhu is relatively uniform and full, so we should pay attention to it when choosing Yaozhu.

Second: look at the color.

Generally, the quality of Yaozhu is better, and the surface is golden yellow. Even if you look inside, it is golden yellow, and its color is slightly shiny, which looks very fresh. The inferior Yaozhu is mostly dark yellow and has no obvious luster. We can also take a look at the inside of Yaozhu. If it is golden yellow, it is a good quality Yaozhu.

Third: Look at the moisture content.

Yaozhu is expensive, so we must pay attention to the water content of Yaozhu when buying it. Under the same volume conditions, we should choose those that are dry, and those that are heavier are those that contain more water, which will inevitably increase the price, so we must know how to weigh them with our hands when buying Yaozhu.
