According to different taste requirements, dried sea cucumber can usually be divided into types such as pure dried sea cucumber, salt-dried sea cucumber, and sugar-dried sea cucumber. Dried sea cucumber is processed by removing internal organs, cleaning, boiling, shrinking, and naturally drying fresh sea cucumber. This type of sea cucumber has high nutritional value and good nourishing effect, thus very common in the market; Salt-dried sea cucumber is made by sprinkling salt on its surface to keep it dry. This type of sea cucumber adds a certain amount of salt during processing, resulting in a slightly salty taste; Sugar-dried sea cucumber is processed by adding sugar to the surface, giving it a unique sugar color. This type of sea cucumber adds a large amount of sugar during the processing, resulting in a sweeter taste. However, its nutritional value is low and its nourishing effect is relatively poor.
