As a Fujian person, I have to mention that one of the Minnan flavor delicacies is the soil shoot jelly that originated in Quanzhou, sandwich a soil shoot jelly, dip in sweet and spicy sauce, eat into the mouth cool and have a jelly feeling, this tender taste, really delicious, the taste is too praised, emphasized! There's no filter effect here.
There may be small partners here who have doubts, there are no bamboo shoots in the soil shoot jelly, only ugly bugs that look like no face value!
Slowly, listen to my explanation, the "soil shoots" of the soil shoot jelly is not the soil shoots in our cognition, I want to solemnly introduce it, this "earth shoots" is the seafood link animal "earth shoots", that is, some people may not be able to accept and choose not to eat the main raw material of the soil shoot jelly - the delicious leather cyst star worm (scientific name), which belongs to the invertebrate soft animals of the star worm animal phylum, and has been eaten in Fujian for more than three hundred years.
The "earth shoot" is about 6 to 9 cm (two or three inches) long, has a cylindrical smooth body, no body segment, its skin is pale yellowish brown, and some small black-brown papillae, its favorite place to stay is soft mudflats, and benthic diatoms are its main food. Because the "soil shoots" are rich in gum, after careful cleaning, after a period of boiling, the colloid will be dissolved in water, and will condense into a lump after cooling. Studies have shown that there are also antibacterial active substances in the body cavity fluid of "soil shoots".
If you are fiery, you can choose it, which has a therapeutic effect on fire, as well as kidney and nootropic effects. Not only that, but it can also be medicated.
Next time you have the opportunity to eat the soil shoot jelly, don't hesitate to do it?! Eat it!
