Raw pangolin scales are dense and hard, and have the foul smell of animals, so they cannot be directly used as medicine and must be processed. The processed pangolin is mainly divided into vinegar pangolin and processed pangolin. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the fishy smell of pangolin after processing is greatly weakened, and the texture becomes brittle, which is conducive to frying effective ingredients.
