Tremella is a very nutritious tonic. It is as famous as ginseng and pilose antler and has the title of 'crown of bacteria'. Many people know that eating Tremella has the effect of beauty and beauty. It is one of the best supplements to prolong life. But many people don't know how to choose Tremella very well. Some people think that the whiter Tremella is, the better. Is this true? The small editor of this article will tell you what kind of Tremella is the best and what kind of Tremella can't be eaten.
The whiter the tremella, the better?
Because many consumers often mistakenly believe that 'the whiter the tremella, the better', this also makes some manufacturers over bleach Tremella products in order to meet the needs of customers, resulting in the residue of sulfur dioxide in Tremella products generally exceeding the standard. Sulfur dioxide in Tremella products mainly comes from the traditional Tremella bleaching process of 'sulfur fumigation', so it is particularly important in selection.
It should be said that normal Tremella is slightly yellow, with large and loose flowers, dry, smooth and fat meat. It smells faint and fragrant. Take a little and put it on the tip of the tongue, with the unique smell of plants. Put it for a while, and it feels a little greasy.
Such Tremella can't be eaten
1. Too white, too beautiful Tremella
Some Tremella is dark and black due to improper preservation and deterioration after expiration. Some people smoke it with sulfur to whiten it. It is recommended that you do not buy too 'snow-white' and 'beautiful' Tremella.
2. Moldy Tremella
If Tremella has gone bad, it must not be eaten again. Once the deteriorated Tremella is eaten, it will be poisoned and do great harm. The deteriorated dry Tremella is burnt yellow or greenish brown, not bright, with different thin and fragile flower shapes. There are black spots or orange patches on the pedicle. After blistering, it is sticky and has peculiar smell. In addition, where the surface has fluffy dry products, there is a risk of mildew.
3. Boiled Tremella
Tremella contains more nitrates. If cooked tremella soup is put for a long time, nitrates will be reduced to nitrite under the decomposition of bacteria. Nitrite is a dangerous carcinogen.
