Flower gum is a dried product of fish maw and swim bladder. Edible fish maw originated in Han Dynasty, with a history of 1600 years. There are hundreds of kinds of flower glue, each of which comes from a different kind of swim bladder. It belongs to one of the four tonics in China and is called "Eight Treasures at Sea".

Since the flower glue is called flower glue, it means that it contains some collagen, but in fact it does contain some advanced collagen, which can help our skin look more shiny and delicate. In addition, it also contains some mineral elements, including calcium, iron, zinc and selenium, which is a pity to throw away.

Selection skills of shellac

When choosing glue, don't buy those that are white and without any flaws. In order to make the flower glue look more beautiful and sell better, many merchants treat it with hydrogen peroxide, soak it and wash away all the rotten and dull colors. After rinsing, they smoke with sulfur dioxide, and the color and yellowness of the glue will be beautiful, but the price can also be higher.

However, it is best not to buy these glues that look white, consistent and even flawless, because these are all processed glues. The real flower glue is not uniform or all white in color, crystal clear, natural in lines and uneven in amber, but a top grade without bleaching and a little oil stains and blood stains.
