Speaking of bird's nest, everyone must be familiar with it. It is a food with high nutritional value. And the price is relatively high, so it is generally seen in families with relatively good family conditions, because rare things are valuable. At the same time, bird's nest can also supplement protein and some trace elements for the human body. So, do you know how bird's nest is formed? Let's take a look below. The formation of bird's nest: The nests built by older swiftlets are entirely made of a large amount of mucus secreted from their throats that gradually condenses. They are pure in texture, and this kind of bird's nest is of the best quality and is the top grade among all bird's nests. In the feudal dynasty era, it was often selected as a tribute, so it was named "official swallow", which means "white swallow". The nests built by young swiftlets are rough and contain more impurities and feathers due to their lack of nest-building experience. The raw material of bird's nest harvested at this time is called "raw bird's nest". There is another kind of bird's nest that is moistened by the red liquid that seeps out of the red rock wall to which it is attached. The part of the bird's nest close to the rock wall gradually turns red. It is also called "blood bird's nest" or "red bird's nest". It contains certain minerals, is nutritious, and has a very small yield. It is regarded as a treasure among bird's nests. Note: Climbing rocks to collect bird's nests is a very hard and dangerous job. The collectors carry a bag on their backs and climb between the steep cliffs, stepping on the holes and chopping through the cracks like monkeys, searching everywhere for collectibles. They are as light as a swallow and as brave as an eagle. Sometimes they make their hands and feet in the shape of a "big" and cling to the rock wall; sometimes they use ropes to swing in the canyon. Every move is thrilling. If you make a mistake and fall into a deep abyss, you will be crushed to pieces. Therefore, the reason why bird's nest is so valuable is not only because it has nourishing effects, but also because the process of collecting it is life-threatening. Bird's nest has a mild nature and needs to be properly prepared and eaten for a period of time. Its nutrients will slowly penetrate and replenish the body's needs before the effects will be apparent. Bird's nest is a tonic, not a panacea. You cannot expect to have magical effects immediately after eating bird's nest. How can we eat bird's nest in a nourishing, effective and economical way? In addition to choosing the right bird's nest variety and stewing it correctly, when and how much we eat will affect the absorption effect. It is recommended to use the "small amounts and multiple times" method, eating on an empty stomach every morning and evening, one tablespoon each time. This way, the bird's nest is both durable and can be eaten for about a week after 15-20 grams of dried bird's nest stewed. It also ensures the balanced intake and absorption of the nutrients in the bird's nest, and gradually regulates our body. As to how bird's nest is formed, many people may have been confused before. However, after reading these contents, you will know the specific formation process. After reading them, you will also know the difficulty of forming bird’s nest, so you can imagine how high its nutritional value is. However, I still need to tell everyone that no matter how good something is, it needs to be consumed in moderation, and eating more is not necessarily good. |
