In fact, there are many ways to use flower glue, generally stew milk with flower glue, and soak in cold water until soft. Change the water every 8 hours in winter; in the summer, every 4 hours, you can put it in the refrigerator at night to soak it and wash the blood and grease.

Of course, in order to eat good flower glue, there are ways and methods to identify, but according to the experience of small kitchens, the selection and purchase of high-quality flower glue need to pay attention to the following points:
Species: The top fish maws are white flower gum, yellow flower glue, eel glue, and door eel glue in order of species.
Authentic yellow and white flower glue are rarely seen on the market. But since There is only one variety of flower glue in New Zealand, we have no choice.
Color: Clean texture, no blood tendons and blood stasis and other substances, translucent, light yellow and translucent color is preferred.
Some fishermen will cut the head and tail of the caught fish and then put it into the freezing of the fishing boat, so that the fresh fish belly will be soaked in the blood water for a long time, resulting in many fresh fish maws without good treatment and directly to the next process.
Because the fresh fish belly is not properly handled, the flower glue from New Zealand is generally red, and even some are red to black, mainly because the blood water seeps into the fresh fish belly when the fish is slaughtered.
Having said all that, will you pick the flower glue? Isn't it time to make a good adjustment to your diet during the season of nourishment?
