Swallows that can build nests to make bird's nests for human consumption are called "golden swiftlets." Because the feathers on the abdomen of this kind of swallows are golden yellow, this swallow is also named. When "golden swiftlets" built their nests for the first time, they relied on the large amount of mucus secreted from their throats, which gradually condensed after being spit out. The texture of their nests is pure and there is no hair attached to them. The best quality and the top grade among bird's nests. The earliest islands in Hainan in my country were also abundant.

"Official swallow" means top tribute, and the official swallow is also named after it. The bird's nest is only one species in the bird's nest, which generally refers to the high-quality bird's nest with a complete cup shape, which belongs to the clean and transparent white bird's nest. The bird's nest has always been the best among many bird's nests.
In addition, the bird's nest is divided into several categories, such as blood bird's nest and wool bird's nest, which are divided into several grades according to their quality. Among them, the blood swallow is also an excellent species. The color of the bird's nest of this species is deep red. Many people say that it is the blood of swallows. In fact, this is wrong. The color of the blood swallow is the natural minerals in the red rock in the cave, which is naturally colored by wet infiltration. The bird's nest of this color contains a lot of minerals and trace elements, which is also unique and naturally generated in the caves of tropical and subtropical islands. Some of the substances, consuming blood swallows will be of great benefit to people who are lack of minerals and trace elements.
The Maoyan, that is, the bird's nest with more feathers, is a poor species, and its formation is caused by man. Usually the swiftlet is the best quality bird's nest when the first nest is made. After the bird's nest is built, it is picked by people before the swallows lay eggs, and the swallows start to build the nest again. At this time, the bird's nest has some spatters on it. Yan Mao. After the bird’s nest was picked for the second time, the swallows started to build a third nest in a hurry to lay eggs. They used their own saliva and feathers to mix together to quickly build the bird’s nest. At this time, the bird’s nest belongs to the hairy bird’s nest, which is the worst quality. The bird’s nest is commonly called "Mao Yan" in pharmacies. For example, if the third time the bird’s nest is picked off by people, the swallows will have nothing more to do. The swallows without nests can only lay their eggs on the rock wall, and the eggs laid in the crevices of the rock wall are difficult to hatch. At this time, the swallows are the most Pathetic!

The above briefly describes the origin, medicinal and health value of bird's nest and bird's nest, and then I will talk about how to choose bird's nest. The high-quality bird's nests on the market are expensive at more than 100 yuan per gram, but most of them are made through secondary processing, which looks neat and beautiful, but in fact, the proportion of counterfeit ingredients is very high.

Generally, the yield rate of a good bird's nest is between 10 to 15 times the weight of the original bird's nest, and it can even be as much as 20 times the weight of the original bird's nest. However, the finished bird's nest will not fall apart, and vice versa. Fake bird's nest. The draught rate of bird's nest is very strong, and it is very well-made. In the past, when bird's nest was cheap, banquet dishes would often see dishes such as white braised bird's nest or phoenix bird's nest, which used bird's nest as the main raw material. For such a big dish, it’s a lot to cost only 4-7 dollars for bird’s nest. In the past, 16 taels were used, and every ten dollars weighed one tael, while 16 taels were one catty, which is only a dozen or so according to the current scale. Gram weight. Usually each bird’s nest has a harder root, that is, the initial part of the bird’s nest that connects to the rock wall when the bird’s nest is built. It occupies one-twentieth or one-thirtieth the size of the entire bird’s nest. In the past, this small part was required What you don’t need is cut off. Now people usually smash it and make it into bird’s nest balls or health care products, rock sugar bird’s nest, etc. A small box costs you hundreds of dollars. As for the effect, it depends on how you feel. It is there, otherwise it is not. To put it bluntly, it is a small bottle of sugar water, ha ha!

The few bird's nests I stocked were bought from the origin of the southern islands of Thailand a long time ago. It was very cheap at that time. You can buy the best bird's nests from the pickers for only a few hundred dollars. At that time, the government did not restrict picking very much. That time, I went to the island by fishing boat with my friends and witnessed the wonderful scene of pickers climbing the cliff. There are many bird's nests in the caves of that island. It can be said that the rock walls are full of bird's nests of all sizes. Flocks of swallows fly around in the caves, which is exciting and spectacular to see. But watching the swallows carefully, they are all in pairs. The nests built by each pair of swallows are not very far apart. That kind of scene is unforgettable! The picker hangs in the air like a monkey or sticks to the rock wall to pick it. It is said that the scenery is no longer there. In order to protect the swiftlet's breeding period, the government only allows a short period of time to be picked each year, and the island will be closed once the period has passed.
