What is steamed sea cucumber, and what is the difference from traditional sea cucumber?

Steamed sea cucumber, as its name implies, is to directly cook fresh sea cucumber through ultra-low pressure and low temperature steaming. Because the temperature does not exceed 75℃ in the 30-minute cooking process, the high-temperature cooking process is avoided, so that the high-temperature active substances and water-soluble nutritional elements in sea cucumber can be completely preserved, especially the valuable core nutritional elements such as sea cucumber crude polysaccharide and sea cucumber saponin, so that the overall nutritional content of steamed sea cucumber is several times higher than that of traditional boiled sea cucumber. After low temperature curing, the whole time from fresh sea cucumber to finished product does not exceed 1 hour, which makes the product extremely stable. We also attach great importance to outer packaging. It is the first time for us to use medical aluminum foil bags, which is safe and hygienic. Heating at high temperature will not release any toxic substances, and at the same time, it will be isolated from direct sunlight, so the quality of sea cucumber will not change due to environmental changes.

The traditional processing technology of boiled sea cucumber, repeatedly boiled in water and processed at high temperature, makes the nutritional activity of sea cucumber lose, and the core elements, especially water-soluble nutrients such as amino acids and crude polysaccharides, also lose a lot with high-temperature boiling, which greatly affects the nutritional components and nourishing value, which is tantamount to extravagance.

Sea cucumber, belonging to the class Holothuria, is a kind of marine echinoderm living at the seaside up to 8000 meters. It has a history of over 600 million years. Sea cucumbers feed on algae and plankton on the seabed. Sea cucumbers are covered with thorns and are widely distributed in the oceans of the world. There are many kinds of sea cucumbers along the coast of the South China Sea, about 20 of which are edible. Sea ginseng, bird's nest and shark's fin are equally famous, and it is one of the eight treasures in the world. Sea cucumber is not only a precious food, but also a precious medicinal material.
