How are bird's nests graded?

Every time when buying bird's nest, many people will be confused, because there are many types of bird's nests now, so how to choose correctly is the key, and bird's nests are divided into different grades, according to quality, they are official bird's nest, hairy bird's nest, and grass bird's nest.

1. Comparison by bird’s nest type

The bird's nests are divided into official bird's nest, raw bird's nest and grass bird's nest according to their quality.

1. Official Bird's Nest: The first-stage bird's nest with complete nest shape and few impurities is usually called "official bird's nest" or "tribute bird's nest". This type of bird's nest is the most nutritious, has fewer impurities and tastes better. There is also a traditional term for it, which calls the first batch of high-quality white bird's nests official bird's nests.

2. Raw bird's nest: a bird's nest containing more bird hair, or second-stage or third-stage bird's nest. The nutritional value is not as good as that of official bird's nest, and it contains more impurities and is difficult to handle.

3. Grass Bird's Nest: A bird's nest built in the grass, mixed with a lot of grass clippings, and of the worst quality.

2. Comparison by texture

There are probably several standards for evaluating the grade of bird's nest:

1. The bird's nest nests are distinguished by their "density, fineness, and sparseness". The denser ones are classified as top-grade bird's nests, while the sparser ones are of inferior quality. Generally, the cup shape is complete and the fibers are tight, which is level one, while the cup shape is irregular and the fibers are loose, which is level two.

2. According to the shape of the cup, the best cup is one with complete and uniform shape.

3. Comparison by Origin

The bird's nests from Indonesia and Thailand are better, while those produced in Malaysia are inferior.

4. Compare bird’s nests by color

Bird's nests can be divided into white bird's nest, yellow bird's nest and red bird's nest according to their color. Comparing the quality and price of bird's nests in this way is actually very controversial. Many data indicate that the bird's nest of first-stage white swallows has the highest content of specific ingredients, and the difference among the three is not very great. However, due to the very rare production of yellow bird's nest and blood bird's nest and their special texture and taste, their market price is sometimes slightly higher than that of white bird's nest.
