Discuss the situation.

But if you look at the time of the year, sea cucumber is good to eat all year round. In the past, there was a saying that autumn and winter were the most suitable for eating sea cucumber, but in fact, it was because of the limited technology of sea cucumber harvesting and storage in the past, coupled with the backward method of sea cucumber processing at that time, which couldn't save sea cucumber for a long time, so sea cucumber could only be eaten in the autumn and winter, but it is actually good to eat sea cucumber in all seasons of the year.

The surface of fresh sea cucumber has a thick layer of gelatin, which is not only difficult to be absorbed and digested, but also easy to cause gastrointestinal discomfort, but after processing sea cucumber, sea cucumber will be more easily absorbed and utilized by the body, so from the point of view of nutritional utilization, it's better to eat dried sea cucumber than fresh sea cucumber.

In addition, live sea cucumber is a very intolerant of storage organisms, it needs to be processed immediately after it is salvaged from the sea, otherwise the phenomenon of skin melting will occur, so the fresh sea cucumber has higher transportation and preservation costs, which also leads to the price of fresh sea cucumber is higher than the price of dry sea cucumber, so it is recommended to eat dry sea cucumber is more cost-effective and affordable.
