Tremella, also known as auricularia auricula and tremella, has the reputation of "the crown among bacteria". It is not only a valuable nutritional tonic, but also a tonic for strengthening the body. The royal nobles of past dynasties regarded tremella as "a product to prolong life" and "a medicine to live forever". Tremella fuciformis is flat and non-toxic, which not only has the effects of invigorating spleen and appetizing, but also has the effects of invigorating qi and clearing intestines, nourishing yin and moistening lung. In addition, tremella can also enhance human immunity and enhance the tolerance of tumor patients to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. So I suggest that in daily life, you can put some tremella in porridge and pork stew, which can not only enjoy the food but also nourish your body, killing two birds with one stone.
Pick:
A look: high-quality tremella, with large and loose ear flowers, the expansion rate of dry ears after soaking in water can reach more than 15 times. The ear meat is thick, white or slightly yellow, with no black spots or impurities on the pedicle, and the flower shape is round, large and beautiful. If the tremella flower is yellow, it is usually dried by rain or moisture. If the color of tremella is dark yellow, the flower shape is incomplete, the shape is incomplete, and the pedicels are not clean, it is of poor quality.
Two touches: high-quality tremella should be dry and free of moisture.
Sanwei: High-quality tremella should have no peculiar smell. If it tastes spicy, it is inferior tremella.
Four smells: Tremella will be moldy and deteriorated when it is wet. If you can smell sour or other smells, you can't eat any more.
Storage:
1, dried tremella should not be soaked in warm water before use, otherwise it will destroy the taste of the product.
2. Keep it in a ventilated, dry and cool place to avoid long-term sun exposure. Dry tremella is generally easy to absorb moisture and mildew, so tremella products should be stored in a dry way, such as putting an appropriate amount of massive lime or dry charcoal as a moisture absorbent in a storage container to prevent moisture.
3. Sealed storage. Tremella is rich in nutrition and easy to oxidize and deteriorate. Can be stored in sealable containers, such as tin cans and ceramic cans, and the containers should be lined with food bags. Usually try to open the container mouth as little as possible, and pay attention to exhaust the air in the lining bag when sealing.
4. Store independently. Tremella mostly has strong adsorption, so it should be stored separately to prevent odor.
