How to preserve fresh Tremella

Tremella is a food with relatively high nutritional value. The tremella we usually eat is dried tremella, but fresh tremella can also be eaten. If you buy fresh tremella, you must store it in a cool and dry place to avoid deterioration. As an ordinary consumer, it is best to buy dried tremella, which helps preserve it. Let’s take a look at this aspect.

How to store fresh Tremella

Tremella should be stored in a cool and dry place. If you can’t finish the soaked Tremella, you can drain the water, wrap it in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator, but the time should not exceed 3 days.

Real fresh Tremella fuciformis, that is, Tremella fuciformis that has just been picked and not processed, contains porphyrin-like photosensitive substances. After eating fresh Tremella fuciformis, the porphyrin-like photosensitive substances will be distributed to the human epidermal cells through blood circulation. Exposure to the sun at this time may cause solar dermatitis, causing skin redness, swelling, itching and pain, and the appearance of bright red papules and blisters. Porphyrin photosensitive substances are also easily absorbed by the throat mucosa, leading to symptoms such as throat edema, general discomfort, runny nose, tears, fatigue and shortness of breath. The correct way to eat it is to dry it. The porphyrin contained in it will be destroyed and disappear, and the above symptoms will not occur after eating it.

Generally speaking, the fresh Tremella fuciformis sold in the market has been processed and dried, so you can buy and eat it with confidence.

Is dried Tremella better or fresh one?

Dried Tremella is better than fresh Tremella. The common Tremella on the market is generally dried, which is the accumulation of people's experience over a long period of time. However, freshly picked Tremella fuciformis contains porphyrin-like photosensitive substances. After eating fresh Tremella fuciformis, the porphyrin-like photosensitive substances will be distributed to the human epidermal cells through blood circulation. Exposure to the sun at this time may cause solar dermatitis, causing skin redness, swelling, itching and pain, and the appearance of bright red papules and blisters.
