Abalones that have just been dried are called "new water", and those that have been stored for more than two years are called "old water". water". The new water is lighter in color, the abalone flavor is not strong enough, and the "sugar heart" is insufficient. "Sugar-centered" abalone is formed when the chemicals in the abalone meat react during the drying process of the abalone. It has a better color and a strong flavor that sticks to your teeth. Therefore, the older the abalone is, the better the quality and the more valuable it is. Authentic and fake abalone: ​​The biggest difference between "fake abalone" and "real abalone" is that the former has a shell plate in the center of its back. Although it is peeled off during processing and drying, it will always leave an obvious mark. Therefore, any abalone with an obvious deep mark on the back is undoubtedly a fake abalone. Preservation method of dried abalone: ​​Dry the newly bought abalone in a ventilated and cool place to avoid sunlight. After cooling, put it in a container and store it. After a period of time, a layer of "white frost" will appear on the surface of the abalone, which is not moldy but mineral. Substances and salt seep out of the surface and do not affect consumption. Dry goods are considered top quality only if there is white frost on the surface.
