The reason why bird's nest turns into water

Washing bird's nests is a very troublesome thing. First of all, you need to soak it first, and then pick out some impurities inside little by little, so that you can eat the real bird's nest. It is actually very simple to stew the bird's nest. The more important thing is that the bird's nest dissolves in water. To avoid melting the bird's nest, you must grasp the main time and the heat of cooking the bird's nest. You also need to pay attention when eating the bird's nest. There are many things that cannot be put together with the bird's nest, otherwise it is bad for the body and will affect absorption.

1. Foods rich in protease

The main component of bird's nest is protein, while some fruits and ingredients are rich in protease. During the heating process, they will decompose the bird's nest when they encounter the bird's nest. Therefore, if they are stewed together for a long time, the bird's nest may become watery.

So many people have questions: Can we no longer eat fruit bird’s nest? Of course, tell everyone not to stew together. Be sure to add fruit when the bird's nest is cooked and returns to room temperature, and eat it as soon as possible, so that you can have both deliciousness and nutrition.

2. High Acid Fruits

The high fruit acid in some fruits can also denature the protein in the bird's nest, thereby reducing the nutritional value of the bird's nest. What are high-acid fruits? Most of them are fruits that taste particularly sour, such as lemons. If mothers insist on eating it together, it is recommended to add it when eating and eat it quickly.

3. Foods that damage the lungs

As we all know, the lungs are a very delicate organ. Dust, fumes and haze will cause more or less damage to it. Bird's nest has a good effect of moistening the lungs and replenishing qi. Both modern Chinese medicine and ancient medical books mention: "Bird's nest greatly nourishes lung yin." It is very effective in relieving consumptive cough. At the same time, Chinese medicine emphasizes that "the lungs control the skin and hair". Insufficient lung qi can easily lead to dry, rough and haggard skin. Therefore, long-term consumption of bird's nests can replenish the lung qi and achieve the effect of nourishing the skin.

Compared to bird's nests which can replenish lung qi, there are some familiar ingredients around us that have the properties of regulating qi and breaking lung qi, but these ingredients are not suitable for stewing with bird's nests, such as mint, hawthorn, etc. Friends with poor spleen and stomach, and insufficient lung qi should not eat too much.

In fact, the foods that are not suitable to be stewed with bird's nests vary from person to person. It is related to the age of the bird's nests, the stewing method, the time of consumption, and your gastrointestinal condition. Therefore, it is recommended to eat bird's nests on an empty stomach in the morning and evening. Not only will the effect be better, but it can also appropriately avoid greasy and spicy foods.
