Sea cucumber selection skills:

First, is the appearance intact?

The selection of sea cucumbers must ensure that the appearance is not destroyed, so as to ensure the quality of sea cucumbers. After processing to remove the corrupt parts, incomplete sea cucumbers may be left behind.

Second, is the appearance correct?

Sea cucumbers with shriveled and twisted bodies and spines crawl indicate that fishing time is very long, and such sea cucumbers may suffer from diseases and are easily polluted and deteriorated by microorganisms.

Third, look at the dryness.

In order to seek personal gain, some merchants add too much water to sea cucumber, which not only increases the weight of sea cucumber, but also is not conducive to the preservation and quality of sea cucumber. The reasonable shelf life of dry sea cucumber can reach more than 3 years.

Fourth, there are no impurities.

In order to make huge profits, some processing factories fill the belly of sea cucumbers with sand, salt or alum to increase their weight. Therefore, when selecting sea cucumbers, we must carefully check whether there are impurities.
