Now many friends like to eat sea cucumber supplements, sea cucumbers are warm, replenish qi and blood, and are indeed tonics. But many people ask Xiaobian, why do the dried sea cucumbers they buy have dark and light colors, and the color of the boiled water when they are foaming is different? Today, Xiaobian will reveal the problem of the color of sea cucumbers.
1, brown, gray, black, gray-brown and so on
These colors are the more common light dry sea cucumber color, because the sea cucumber is a marine life, is an independent life, the color of each one will be different, sea cucumber color is mainly depending on the sea cucumber growth environment and the algae eaten.

There are also some genetic variations of sea cucumbers that appear in some special colors, such as white. This white jade ginseng is a very rare sea cucumber, the water quality requirements are extremely harsh, there is a slight pollution, white jade ginseng can not survive.
2, salt white
This color of sea cucumber is generally salt dried sea cucumber, because the salt dried sea cucumber is salted many times during processing, and a large amount of salt precipitates on the surface of the sea cucumber to crystallize, so that the color of the sea cucumber becomes salt white. Salt dried sea cucumber because of processing technology and other reasons, the nutrient damage is serious, not as good as light dried sea cucumber.
3. Glossy black
Bright black sea cucumber is mainly the color of sugar dried sea cucumber, sugar dried sea cucumber in the process of processing repeatedly add sugar, increase weight, color black and bright, beautiful appearance, but the nutritional damage is serious, and even more carcinogenic consequences, the state has strictly prohibited production and circulation.

The color of boiled sea cucumber water
Light green, light yellow, yellowish brown, etc
There are many people wondering why the water that has been boiled with sea cucumbers has a color, and sometimes the color is still different, in fact, this situation is normal, because sea cucumbers mainly eat various algae in the ocean, and the natural pigments in the seaweed are also absorbed by the sea cucumber, and the sea cucumbers are locked in the body of the sea cucumber after processing, and later boiled when foaming, these plant pigments are integrated into the water to cause the water to boil the sea cucumber to change color.
Therefore, the water boiled sea cucumber has a color, different colors, are caused by the algae eaten by sea cucumbers, and there is no direct relationship with the quality or nutrition of sea cucumbers.
03
The color of the inner tendons of sea cucumbers
White, light grey, light yellow
The inner tendon of the sea cucumber is attached to the inner side of the sea cucumber meat wall, a total of 5, is the nervous system of the sea cucumber, rich in nutrients, many people think that the inner tendon of the sea cucumber into white is the quality of the sea cucumber, in fact, not always, the color of the sea cucumber inner tendon is not a measure of the quality of the sea cucumber, the color of the inner tendon will also be affected by some acquired processing and other external factors.
The color of the sea cucumber is not the only criterion for measuring the quality of the sea cucumber, the color of the dried sea cucumber is different, and the foaming sea cucumber water has a color, which is actually a normal phenomenon, just like people will also be tall, fat and thin, and the sea cucumber is also like this
