Is the dried or fresh Tremella good
Dried Tremella is better than fresh Tremella.
The common Tremella on the market is mainly dry, which is the accumulation of people's experience for a long time. However, the fresh Tremella just picked contains porphyrin light sensitive substances. After eating the fresh tremella, porphyrin light sensitive substances will be distributed to the human epidermal cells along with the blood circulation. At this time by the sun, it may cause sun dermatitis, into the skin swelling, itching pain, bright red pimples and blisters.
The difference between fresh and dried Tremella
When people buy tremella, they often choose some so-called "fresh Tremella". In fact, the so-called "fresh Tremella" circulating in the market are processed and can be eaten directly without poison. In fact, the real fresh Tremella is different from the common dry Tremella. It is reported that the price of live Tremella is also higher than that of dry goods. The price of a live Tremella on the market varies from 30 to 40 yuan.
On the one hand, from the perspective of manufacturing technology, fresh Tremella is not processed, while common Tremella is processed and dried at multiple levels.
On the other hand, the fresh Tremella contains porphyrin light sensitive substances. After eating the fresh tremella, the porphyrin light sensitive substances will distribute to the human epidermal cells along with the blood circulation. At this time by the sun, it may cause sun dermatitis, into the skin swelling, itching pain, bright red pimples and blisters. Porphyrins are also easily absorbed by the throat mucosa, resulting in throat edema, general discomfort, runny nose, tears, fatigue and shortness of breath. The common Tremella does not contain porphyrins, which are harmless and beneficial to human body.
Therefore, especially in the outside, when picking tremella, don't cook it easily, because most of the wild fresh Tremella are poisonous.
