Seaweed coconut is a common material for southerners to make soup, which can be divided into dry and wet. Traditional Chinese medicine says that it nourishes yin and moistens the lungs, removes dryness, nourishes the face, clears away heat and moistens, and has the effect of moistening the lungs and relieving cough, so it is very suitable for making soup and sugar water in autumn and winter.
Generally, dried sea coconut is used, which can only be used as an ingredient for soup, and cannot be eaten directly. If you use wet sea coconut, you can eat it directly after stewing.
I hope it helps you.
