Ways to tell if bird's nest is good or bad.

1. Moisture content.

A good bird's nest must have a high moisture content, and it will break if it is slightly folded. The higher the dry value, the easier it is to store, and it is not easy to grow mildew when stored in a cool place. The worse bird's nest has insufficient moisture content, and it is not easy to break if it is bent hard, so the bird's nest has high humidity in the environment, accounts for the portion, and is not easy to store.

It should be emphasized here that if the bird's nest needs to be transported, then it needs to be sprayed with a few drops of water moderately, if it is not sprinkled, the dried bird's nest will be easily crushed, so the store will be sprinkled and transported after the bird's nest is weighed, which can be called a very conscientious store! It doesn't mean that the bird's nest quality is not very good.

2. Is it glued.

High-quality bird's nest can see a clear texture under the sun, and there may also be a certain gap, which is due to the fact that there are feathers in the bird's nest, which need to be solved, and the gap may be caused after manual service picking. The shoddy bird's nest, in order to improve the net weight, but also in order to make the bird's nest look dense, after picking the hair, use the glue to supplement the gap, the texture is not clear under the sun, the bird's nest is very bad, the amount is not clear how much glue is ingredient, and it is not good for the human body, there may be disadvantages.

Natural bird's nest, its color will actually be a little gray or dark, it is not easy to choose bleach and other solutions, and all are manual service picking, it is inevitable that there are remnants of snow feathers, and some snow feathers can be seen on the bird's nest. The bird's nest is not of good quality, in order to save the cost of manual service, and some medicinal solutions are used to carry out hair removal, which is not easy to leave all the traces of bird's feathers. Some have also undergone bleach or coloring solutions, the bird's nest after bleaching is very white, and the bird's nest dyed with bright red is fake blood bird's nest, and the hue is fake at first glance.

4. Is it broken?

In the whole process of solving the bird's nest, it is inevitable that there will be crumbs falling down. Natural bird's nest, after production and processing, will fall off, so it will look thinner and not easy to stick the edge material back again. The shoddy bird's nest, in order to save costs and improve the net weight, will be stained with a very thick crumb at the bottom of the bird's nest, which looks very unnatural, and the composition of this crumb does not know what it is, it is very likely that it is not a bird's nest.

5. Hair. The hair of bird's nest refers to the comparison of the net weight of bird's nest before and after it is soaked. High-quality bird's nest hair is generally more than 6 times, and some can even achieve 8 or 9 times, which depends on the quality of the bird's nest, the time of soaking and the technology. The shoddy bird's nest is damaged due to the solution of the liquid medicine or the gluing, and it is not easy to bubble up, and the head of the bubble is relatively small, and some even can't be soaked at all.

6. Taste. After a good bird's nest is cooked, it will have an egg flavor and a very soft taste, if it is a bird's nest, its aroma will be stronger, and the taste will be smooth and Q bomb. Bird's nest of not very good quality is generally solved by liquid medicine or glue, after stewing, there is no aroma, the taste is not very good, and some will even continue to feel the taste of glue, which makes people suddenly lose the urge to eat.

The denser the fiber, the better, the color is transparent, yellowish, shiny, and has the fragrance of bird's nest. It is best to have a clear trace of the fibers on the bird's nest, with a clear texture and different thicknesses, the denser the better. The filaments inside the bird's nest are messy and loose.

Natural is the best artificial and not good.

Identification methods of bird's nest:

One look: Bird's nest should be a filamentous structure, and the one composed of pieces is a fake. Pure bird's nest is translucent whether it is soaked or under the lamp**.

Second smell: Bird's nest has a special fragrance, but it is not pungent. Those with a peculiar smell, fishy smell or greasy smell are fakes.

Three touches: take a small piece of bird's nest and soak it in water until it is soft, then take the silk strip and pull it, the elasticity is poor, and the one that breaks is a fake; Rubbing with fingers, there is no elasticity, and it is also a fake; The blood swallow and yellow swallow change color after soaking are fakes.

Four burns: Light the dried bird's nest slices, if it is a fake bird's nest, it will produce crackling sparks.

Identification method of bleached bird's nest: take out the bird's nest by immersing it in water, about half a minute later, rub it several times with your thumb and index finger, if there is a chemical odor on your fingers, it is bleached bird's nest, and the bleached bird's nest has a very small swelling rate after stewing, easy to dissolve water, and no natural egg white flavor.

Identification method of rubberized bird's nest: take out the bird's nest by immersing it in water, after about half a minute, rub it several times with your thumb and index finger, if you feel sticky on your fingers and can smell the smell of chemicals, it is rubberized bird's nest.

Identification method of dyed bird's nest: dyed bird's nest mostly refers to dyeing low-priced white bird's nest red or yellow, and illegal traders pass it off as ** blood bird's nest or yellow bird's nest to sell. This type of false blood swallow and yellow swallow are difficult to distinguish before they are wet, but they can be identified once they are soaked.

Since the pigment is soluble in water, if this type of dyed bird's nest is immersed in water, the water will be dyed red or yellow. Real blood and yellow bird's nests will not change color after being soaked or stewed. Because the blood bird's nest is rich in nutrients and minerals, the texture is still smooth after steaming or simmering.

Identification method of seaweed bird's nest: Seaweed bird's nest is mostly found in bird's nest cakes or bird's nest strips on the market. There are real and fake mixed birds' nests, and there are artificial fake bird's nests made entirely of seaweed that are bleached, dried, and boiled.

This kind of "bird's nest" is solid white in color, less shiny, coarse and hard, and has a seaweed smell. The natural bird's nest strip is transparent in color, slightly yellowish, shiny, and odorless.

To identify bird's nest, you should first distinguish between real and fake, and after confirming that it is a real bird's nest, then divide it into categories and grades.

The high-quality bird's nest has a complete and well-proportioned appearance, no defects, dry and slightly fragrant, and there is a sound when the two of them collide. If the arrears have been paid, the quality will be affected.

Bird's nest refers to the saliva secreted by some swifts of the swift family and several swiftlets of the genus Swiftlet, mixed with other substances. Also known as bird's nest vegetables, bird's nest roots, bird's nest can be divided into "house nest" and "cave swallow" according to the place of nesting, cave nest because of its mineral influence causes different colors, there are white bird's nest, yellow bird's nest, red bird's nest, and house nest only ivory white a color. The so-called "blood bird's nest" on the market is said to be made by artificially bred house nests through the "guano fumigation method".

There are three types of bird's nests: cave nests collected from nature, house nests raised in captivity and built indoors, and processed nests. In addition, there are artificial bird's nests made from seaweed and fake bird's nests made with starch, etc. This kind of counterfeit can almost be fake, so to identify bird's nest, we must first distinguish the real from the fake, and then divide the category and set the grade.

Buying secrets. First, the origin should be fixed: the place where swiftlet grows affects the quality of bird's nest production, the production area is industrially developed, the more impurities such as dust, the darker the bird's nest produced by serious air pollution, the higher the rainwater and forest coverage area of the production area, the better the bird's nest head and the higher the quality. Many well-known bird's nest brands in China are from the above origins.

The second is to look at the hair of the bird's nest: the bird's nest picked in different periods also has different "hair".

Third, it depends on whether the bird's nest is clean: the less fine hairs, the better.

The fourth is the pick type: the thinner the head and feet at both ends of the bird's nest, the more beautiful it is.

Fifth, it depends on whether the bird's nest is dry and light: those with dry and less water are the top quality. High-quality bird's nest should feel dry to the touch. Wetter bird's nests contain more moisture and can become moldy if not stored properly.

Six stews: Of course, it refers to the stewed bird's nest, good bird's nest is resistant to stewing, and the bird's nest that is hand-picked is not easy to appear watery, and there will be a strong protein fragrance after stewing, which is an important indicator of true and false bird's nest. Fake bird's nests will not have such a fragrant albumin.

Chemically processed bird's nests tend to turn into watery form if they take too long during the stewing process.

The difference between the high and low of bird's nest lies in six indicators: the degree of trimming of leftovers, the place of origin, the hair, the degree of integrity, the quality of cleanliness, and the taste.

One look: dryness.

A good bird's nest should have a high degree of dryness, and it will break if it is broken slightly. The higher the dryness, the easier it is to store, and it will not become moldy when stored in a cool place.

The poorer bird's nest is not up to standard in dryness, and it is not easy to break it by bending it by hand, so the bird's nest has high humidity, accounts for a large amount, and is not easy to store.

Second look: whether to brush glue.

High-quality bird's nests can see clear lines in the sun, and there may be certain gaps.

This is because there are down feathers in the bird's nest, which need to be picked, and gaps may occur after manual picking, so the bird's nest has not been treated with glue brushing and seam patching. In order to increase the weight and make the bird's nest appear dense, the inferior bird's nest will be brushed with glue to fill the gaps after picking.

Three looks: color.

Pure natural bird's nest, the color is a little gray or yellowish, will not use bleaching and other treatments, and are all artificially picked, it is inevitable that there will be small bird's nest residues, and some small bird's nest can be seen on the bird's nest.

And the bird's nest with poor quality, in order to save labor costs, some potions will be used for hair removal, which will not leave any traces of bird's hair, and the bleached bird's nest is very white. The dyed bird's nest is pretended to be a blood bird's nest, and the color is fake at first glance.

Four looks: whether it is broken.

In the process of processing bird's nest, it is inevitable that debris will fall off. Pure natural bird's nest, after processing, there will be bird's nest swallow silk falling off, so it will appear thinner and will not stick the scraps back back.

And low-quality bird's nests, in order to save costs and increase weight, will be stained with thick crumbs on the bottom of the bird's nest, which looks unnatural, and the composition of these crumbs is not known.

Five looks: hair.

The hair of bird's nest refers to the comparison of the weight of bird's nest before and after soaking.

High-quality bird's nest hair is generally more than 6 times, and some can even reach 8 or 9 times, which depends on the quality of bird's nest, soaking time and technology. The inferior bird's nest is not easy to soak because it has been treated with medicine or brushed with glue, and it is not easy to soak it, and the hair head of the soaking hair is relatively small, and some even can't soak it at all.

It is best and reassuring to buy products with national certified brands.

Generally speaking, a good bird's nest will first look at the raw materials, the shape of the bird (that is, whether it looks good), the hair and taste, and sometimes whether the yield is scarce. If these elements are all superior and all in one, such bird's nest can be regarded as super high-quality bird's nest, but such bird's nest is generally very expensive. According to the data of China E-Commerce Research Center, the quality of the two big brands in the industry, Tong Ren Tang and FLM bird's nest, is guaranteed, and FLM bird's nest is more cost-effective.
