The difference between imported sea cucumber and domestic sea cucumber

In China, sea cucumbers have been eaten for a long time. Many people will choose Dalian sea cucumber and Yantai sea cucumber to eat sea cucumber, because the sea cucumber breeding in these places has formed a scale, and the sea cucumber is of good quality, and it also has a certain reputation in the hearts of consumers.

In recent years, imported sea cucumbers have also been recognized by the majority of consumers, and more and more people have begun to buy foreign sea cucumbers.

So, what is the difference between sea cucumbers at home and abroad? Is imported sea cucumber good or bad?

First, sea cucumbers are used for different purposes.

In China, sea cucumber is used to eat, and the effect of sea cucumber "nourishing qi and nourishing blood" makes it a high-end nourishing food. Influenced by Chinese culture.

Influence, sea cucumber in East Asia, Southeast Asia.

Some countries are also more popular. However, in the West, due to "dietary cultural differences" and other reasons, sea cucumbers are never consumed, and they mainly use sea cucumbers for sustainable research and drug extraction.

Second, the growth environment is different.

After a long time of fishing and eating, the wild resources of domestic sea cucumbers have been basically exhausted, and the sea cucumbers circulating in the market are mainly based on breeding sea cucumbers, and there are more artificial interventions in the growth process. In foreign countries, sea cucumbers are not eaten, so there are still a large number of wild sea cucumbers, which grow in natural sea areas and are not subject to artificial interference.

3. Sea cucumbers have different forms.

The domestic edible sea cucumber is the sea cucumber.

Mainly, the body is mainly spindle-shaped or cylindrical, and the color is mostly brownish-gray or black-brown. There are many kinds of foreign edible sea cucumbers, including both common sea cucumbers in China and some uncommon forms: some sea cucumbers are black all over the body, and there are no ginseng thorns on the outside, and many domestic consumers do not think that it is sea cucumber at first.

Fourth, sea cucumber ** is different.

Domestic sea cucumber because of the basic whole process of breeding, so the cost is extremely high, from the site rent, labor costs to epidemic prevention and disaster prevention, feed vaccines to fishing and processing, etc., all will increase the cost of sea cucumber breeding, coupled with the domestic demand for sea cucumber has been high, in short supply, from the side also pushed up the sea cucumber. Foreign sea cucumbers are basically wild sea cucumbers, and in addition to fishing and processing, there is basically no need for other labor costs.

Therefore, it is also cheaper.

Foreign sea cucumbers have gradually been favored by consumers in recent years due to their low cost and rich nutrition. However, consumers should also pay attention when buying, they must keep their eyes open and buy from formal markets or merchants.

1.Imported sea cucumber** is generally lower than domestic sea cucumber.

The reason why imported sea cucumber ** is lower than domestic sea cucumber is mainly because of the difference in food culture, "sea cucumber fever" is limited to China, and foreigners in Europe and the United States do not think that sea cucumber "can be eaten", sea cucumber resources have not been developed, and no consumption boom has been formed, so foreign sea cucumber ** is very cheap. However, it is worth noting that foreigners do not eat sea cucumbers, which does not mean that the nutritional value of sea cucumbers is not recognized, but is actually a matter of dietary cultural differences.

2.Imported sea cucumbers have their own advantages.

Foreign sea cucumbers basically grow in natural sea areas, due to foreign attention to environmental protection, there is no pollution in the sea area, and the quality of sea cucumbers is generally higher than that of domestic sea cucumbers. Due to the different origins and varieties, foreign sea cucumbers are very different from domestic sea cucumbers in appearance and color. Imported sea cucumbers are generally larger in size and thicker in flesh.

The natural resources of sea cucumbers in China are very scarce, and most of them are cultivated species. Foreign sea cucumbers are generally grown naturally in the wild, with a long growth period, generally 6---7 years, and the accumulated nutrients are very high. The original ecological processing technology preserves most of the nutrients, but the appearance is not beautiful.

The vast majority of domestic sea cucumbers are cultivated, the growth period is generally 1-3 years, most of them have been salted many times and cooked, and plastic agents are added for treatment, although the appearance is very beautiful, but many nutrients are lost, and some even contain harmful substances to the human body. However, this does not mean that sea cucumbers are imported.

3.The quality of sea cucumbers cannot be divided solely by domestic and imported.

Sea cucumber is not good, but also depends on the sea area where it grows, all the sea areas in the world produce sea cucumbers, the resources are relatively rich, and the sea areas with good quality mainly include: the Sea of Japan, the Russian sea, the Canadian sea, the United States and other sea areas. But it doesn't mean that imported sea cucumbers are necessarily good, for example, Icelandic sea cucumbers have a much worse nutritional content than our domestic sea cucumbers!

There are a lot of plankton in the growth latitude of sea cucumber, and sea cucumbers can be eaten, so sea cucumbers are also rich in nutrients! Icelandic waters are a bit colder, with less plankton and less nutritional value. Qing Dynasty scholar Ji Xiaolan Zeng Yun:

Sea cucumber such as steps, there are also grades, since the beginning of the Qin and Han dynasties, the ginseng produced in Changdao has been repeatedly tributed to the past dynasties, it is said to be the top grade, and the folk rarely have a taste. "Generally speaking, sea cucumbers are better than Liao ginseng, Korean ginseng, Japanese Kanto ginseng, and Russian red ginseng, and the worst is Arctic ginseng. In short, we try to choose big brands of sea cucumbers, and the process of sea cucumbers is more reliable.

Therefore, consumers are reminded to pay attention to the fact that when buying sea cucumbers, there is no need to pay too much attention to the appearance of sea cucumbers, and factors such as growth year, environment, and nutritional value are what really need to be considered. Imported sea cucumbers are also divided into different grades. For example, Italian sea cucumbers, Ouran, and Bonian sea cucumbers are all wild, about 40 heads per catty, and ** is about 6000 10000 yuan.

Russian and Ukrainian cucumbers are very similar to Liao cucumbers, and they are almost 10,000 yuan a catty. South American sea cucumbers, Caribbean sea cucumbers, South China Sea and other sea areas with relatively high temperatures, sea cucumbers grow fast, are suitable for consumption, and have slightly lower nutritional value.

<> Canadian Arctic sea cucumber.

There are thousands of species of sea cucumbers in the world, distributed in all corners of the world, plus the nutritional structure of sea cucumbers is similar, protein and sugar are almost the same, plus many places in China are artificially raised, so some people think that eating sea cucumbers is not as good as eating imported, imported and domestic sea cucumbers are compared, in the end which is better, what do consumers need to pay attention to when choosing to buy?

One of the main reasons why people choose imported sea cucumbers to eat is that due to the differences in foreign food cultures, the craze for eating sea cucumbers is limited to China, and then there are foreign sea cucumbers that are naturally wild and have no cost of artificial breeding, so foreign sea cucumbers are relatively cheap.

One of the main reasons why people choose imported sea cucumbers to eat is the growth environment, there are very few artificial breeding, coupled with good environmental protection in foreign countries, there is no pollution in the sea area, sea cucumbers can grow completely freely and obtain seabed food, therefore, the quality of sea cucumbers is higher than that of domestic sea cucumbers. Imported sea cucumbers are relatively large in size and thicker in flesh. Domestic sea cucumbers are raised in captivity, resulting in some additives remaining in the body of sea cucumbers, causing certain harm to the human body.

Of course, it is not so absolute to distinguish between sea cucumbers at home and abroad. Compared with the most advanced sea cucumber areas, the main areas are: the sea of Japan, the waters of Canada, the waters of Russia, the waters of the United States, etc.

In areas like Iceland, where the quality is relatively poor, the sea cucumbers grown are much worse than those in China. The main reason is that the Icelandic sea is a little cold, there are fewer floats, there are fewer foods suitable for sea cucumbers, and the nutritional value is naturally less. The main thing is to see if there is a very rich bait in the sea area where the sea cucumber grows.

When consumers buy sea cucumbers, they do not need to overly look at the appearance of sea cucumbers, but mainly look at the growth year, environment, nutritional value and origin of sea cucumbers to judge the nutritional value of sea cucumbers.

The best quality sea cucumbers are as follows:

1. The spines are short and thick, and the mallet is shaped

The best quality sea cucumbers are the sea cucumbers of the Shandong Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula, which are characterized by short and thick flesh spines, and a bulging body in the shape of a mallet (the tips of the two ends are thick in the middle).

2. The texture is hard and dry

High-quality light-dried sea cucumbers are hard, not easy to break, lightweight, completely dry, with a charcoal feeling when struck, elastic and echoing, which is the top grade.

3. The two ends are thin and slightly thicker in the middle

The two ends are slightly thinner, the middle is slightly thicker, spindle-shaped, the spines are short and thick, and the spines are few, because of the submarine currents and broken reef erosion.

4. The bottom is dense, clean and clear

Wild sea cucumbers have dense feet and are thick and powerful. Because to resist ocean currents, you have to cling to the bottom of the sea.

5. The sand spit is large

Wild sea cucumber mouth, the jargon is called "sand spit". Due to the large amount of food consumed, the sand spit is larger than that of ordinary sea cucumbers.

6. Ultra-high foaming rate

More than 10 times the weight of ultra-high foaming rate. High-quality bottom-sown wild sea cucumbers with a high soaking rate! One pound can soak 10-12 pounds, which is not possible for low-end cultivated sea cucumbers.

7. Different shades of color

Because wild sea cucumbers feed differently on the seabed, they have different shades of color (black, yellow, and gray), so they are diverse in color after soaking.

8. The taste is strong and elastic

High-quality bottom-sown wild sea cucumbers, soaked high-quality sea cucumbers have excellent elasticity, luster, inherent freshness and tenderness of sashimi, and the taste is strong and elastic.

9. The inner reinforcement is complete and strong

The ginseng intestine tendon of wild sea cucumber is thicker, and because there is a lot of food on the bottom of the sea, it is nutritious, so the sea cucumber eats a large amount.

Russian sea cucumber, Arctic ginseng, American red ginseng, etc. The varieties of sea cucumbers vary from country to country.

There are many types of imported sea cucumbers in China, and the quality is also good and bad.

Imported sea cucumbers are divided into Canadian Arctic cucumber, small sea cucumber, Mengbei sea cucumber, American red ginseng, Australian bald sea cucumber, Russian sea cucumber, American red ginseng, Italian sea cucumber, European sea cucumber, Bonian sea cucumber, Ukrainian sea cucumber, South American sea cucumber, Caribbean sea cucumber, Alaskan red ginseng, California ingots sea cucumber, Turkish black sea cucumber, Mediterranean sea cucumber, Japanese Kanto sea cucumber, black claw sea cucumber and so on.

When buying imported sea cucumbers, you need to choose from brands with good reputation or professional sales points, and master the ability to distinguish sea cucumbers.

Don't be confused by the so-called "imported" word, for the sea cucumber industry, imported sea cucumbers are inferior to domestic sea cucumbers in terms of quality and quality, because most of the imported sea cucumbers are light ginseng, and the nutritional value is very low.

After inquiry, Southeast Asian sea cucumber is only a supplement in the case of too much sea cucumber consumption in China, and there is not much difference. Chinese sea cucumbers are so popular because Chinese cooking can cook sea cucumbers very well. The specific information** is as follows:

Because the consumption is increasing, there is not enough domestic ginseng, and Southeast Asian sea cucumbers have become an important supplement. Maritime merchants from southern Fujian come to the Philippine Islands in March and April every year to purchase sea cucumbers, bird's nests and other supplements. In addition, the Indonesian archipelago is also an important place.

According to some data, about 80% of the sea cucumbers in the domestic market at that time came from Southeast Asia.

Sea cucumbers are only popular in pure China, and under the influence of China, a few countries such as Japan and South Korea also have the tradition of eating sea cucumbers, but the market size is far less than that of China. Sea cucumber is strange in the eyes of Westerners, Westerners do not know how to deal with sea cucumbers, let alone cook sea cucumbers, after all, the Chinese food culture is broad and profound, many delicious ingredients that we are proud of can directly scare away foreigners, such as China's preserved eggs are well-known, very flavorful, crooked nuts simply do not understand how such a black duck egg slow pants Chinese swallow.

The differences between Russian sea cucumbers and domestic sea cucumbers are as follows:

1. Different colors.

Russian sea cucumbers are best known for their dark red color, followed by the common black, red ginseng.

In the early days, there were also some in China, mainly in the Liaoning region, but after the large-scale fishing, the wild sea cucumbers basically disappeared, and now most of the farmed sea cucumbers are black in color.

2. Different forms.

The back of the Russian sea cucumber is full of six rows of thorns, six rows of thorns.

At present, there are only Russian sea areas in the world, and domestic sea cucumbers are four rows of thorns, which are not as large as Russian sea cucumbers.

3. Different breeding methods.

Russian sea cucumber is a wild species, there is no pollution in the sea area, the nutritional value is extremely high, the foaming rate can reach more than ten times, and the taste is better after soaking. The domestic sea cucumber is basically farmed, the foaming rate is low, and the taste is also poor.

Hello friends, there are two main differences between the participation of domestic sea cucumbers in the Russian Sea:

1. Russian sea cucumbers are all real pure wild sea cucumbers, there are no farmed ones, and there are very few domestic sea cucumbers that are really pure and wild, and most of them are farmed.

2. Russian sea cucumbers are all 6 rows of thorns, and domestic sea cucumbers are 4 rows of thorns.
