Should bird's nest be refrigerated in the refrigerator?

Dried bird's nest can be left out of the refrigerator.

Food is stored in the refrigerator because the food itself is easy to deteriorate, and the temperature in the refrigerator can inhibit the reproduction and growth of bacteria. The high-quality dried bird's nest is generally not easy to deteriorate after drying. As long as it is stored in a cool and dry place, it does not need to be stored in the refrigerator.

Wet bird's nest should be kept in the refrigerator. Wet bird's nest refers to the soaked bird's nest, which contains a lot of water, protein and carbohydrates, and is perishable. It needs to be stored in the refrigerator to extend the shelf life.

Bird's nest purchase:

First, the place of origin should be determined: the place where Jin Siyan grows affects the quality of bird's nest production. The more impurities such as dust produced in the place of origin, the darker the color of bird's nest produced by serious air pollution, the higher the rain and forest coverage area of the place of origin, the better the hair and the higher the quality of bird's nest produced. Many famous bird's nest brands in China come from the above-mentioned producing areas.

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

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

The fourth type is picking: the thinner the head and feet at both ends of bird's nest, the better it looks.

Fifth, it depends on whether the bird's nest is dry and intellectually fit: dry and low in water content is the top grade. A good bird's nest should be dry to the touch. Wet bird's nest contains more water, and it will be moldy if it is stored improperly.

Six stews: stewed bird's nest, of course. Good bird's nest is resistant to stewing, and the bird's nest with pure hand-picked hair is not easy to look watery. After stewing, there will be a strong protein fragrance, which is an important indicator of true and false bird's nest. Fake bird's nest won't have this fragrant protein flavor. The chemically treated bird's nest is easy to turn into water if it is stewed for too long.

The difference in the quality of bird's nest lies in six indicators: trimming degree, origin, raw material, completeness, cleanliness and taste.
