Bird's nest, also known as agar-agar, bird's nest, bird's nest, is a nest made by swiftlet and a variety of swallows of the same genus with a mixture of saliva and down feathers. It is shaped like a gold ingot. The inner wall of the nest is woven into an irregular net from silk, but the root of the nest is solid, with small drop angles at both ends, generally 6 to 7 cm in diameter and 3 to 4 cm in depth. Mainly produced in the South my country Sea Islands and Southeast Asian countries. Bird's nests can be divided into three types due to different collection times: 1. White swallows: It was once listed as a tribute in ancient times, so it was also called palace swallows; 2. Mao swallows; 3. Blood swallows.

Bird's nest is highly nutritious, containing 50% protein, 30% carbohydrates and some minerals. It is one of China's traditional rare food. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that bird’s nest: "Nourishes yin and moisturizes dryness, nourishes qi and nourishes the middle, treats deficiency, coughing, hemoptysis, and chronic dysentery. It is suitable for weak physique, malnutrition, chronic dysentery, chronic malaria, phlegm cough, chronic bronchitis in the elderly, Bronchiectasis, emphysema, tuberculosis, hemoptysis, vomiting blood and stomach pain patients. Modern medicine has found that bird’s nest can promote immune function, delay human aging, and prolong life.

This time, I used the bird's nest provided by the micro-shop "Mr. Song's Yanziwu" to pick up the fluff manually, which makes it more convenient to handle. Speaking of such expensive nutritional products, if you don’t know the store’s products, you really dare not buy it casually. He is not only a trusted acquaintance, but also the goods he personally went to Malaysia to purchase. Seeing quality is believing. "
