The secret of blood nest and pink nest in Vietnam

Red swiftlet and blood nest are extremely rare and nutritious bird's nests, these two types of bird's nests account for less than 10% of the total yield of the bird's nest. Therefore, on the market of Hong Yen and Blood, the price is quite high, but it is still "hunted" by many housewives. Why is that? Let's discover together with Mang Nguyen Truong Son in this article!

In terms of color, you can easily name and distinguish the bird's nest with 3 types: White swiftlet (White nest), Red bird's nest and Blood bird's nest.

What is blood nest? This is an extremely rare type of bird's nest, only found in nature and very difficult to exploit, so the price of the product is relatively high. It is called the blood nest because the oats are red in color. Many people mistakenly believe that the blood nest is made from the blood and saliva of the swiftlet. However, the fact that the red color of the swiftlet's blood is due to special minerals in the caves and cliffs where the swiftlets nest. According to the experience of the people who exploit the nests, the nests located deep inside the cave and the higher the humidity, the redder the color of the nest (it is called blood nest). The darker the color of the bird's nest, the higher the price will be.

What is pink nest? The reason for the name pink nest is because the oats have orange, brown, pink, or pinkish colors. Like the blood nest, the color of the swiftlet is due to the impact of minerals in the caves as well as the cliffs where the swiftlets nest. In terms of nutritional value, bird's nest is not much different from home bird's nest, but consumers still appreciate it more because it is from natural island oats and laborious exploitation process.

What are the external characteristics of the bird's nest and blood nest? It is very easy to distinguish red oats and blood oats through the color outside. You just need to look at the color of the bird's nest, if it's orange or brown, it's a pink bird's nest, the blood nest will be crimson.

According to folklore, the color of the swiftlet and blood swiftlet is due to the swift lack of saliva, so it used its own blood to build the nest. There are other theories that the color of the nest is due to the food source.

Later, according to scientific research, the pink and red color of the bird's nest is due to the chemical fermentation interaction between the swiftlet's saliva and minerals on the cave cliffs.

Nutritional value of bird's nest and blood nest Scarcity and higher price than canaries (white oats), so what is the nutritional value of canaries and blood oats?

Bird's nest contains a lot of nutrients necessary for the human body. It is said that in the bird's nest and blood nest, there are more micro-minerals and amino acids that are better for health. The reason is that through the chemical fermentation process between the swiftlet's saliva and the minerals on the cave cliffs, it is very beneficial to human health.

5. Economic value of bird's nest and blood nest In terms of rarity, the blood swiftlet yield is much less than that of the canary. Therefore, blood oats always have a higher price than canaries.

To own a delicious and quality "first taste", you need to know where to buy real red oats and blood oats, quality assurance. Because of its high value, there are now countless fake bird's nest and blood nest products on the market with cheap prices to "cover the eyes", profiting from consumers.

This type of bird's nest is not difficult to recognize, looking at the bird's nest dyed in color will be very fake and even. When soaked in water, the color will fade immediately and can be observed. Create air contaminated with NH3 in the swiftlet house to create fake blood nest: In some swiftlet houses, the amount of bird droppings discharged every day is a lot. And if it is not cleaned, the bird's nest will be infected with NH3 for a long time, the nest in such an environment will automatically turn red for a long time, the longer the red color, the darker it will be. The reason is that NH3 in the bird's droppings rises into the air and combines with O2 to oxidize the nests to red and produce a certain amount of nitrite. Nitrite is especially dangerous to the human body. This form of bird's nest will be very difficult to distinguish because the red color is very real and natural. Incubate white oats in an organic fertilizer cellar to create fake bird's nest and blood nest: This method is similar to the one above. NH3 is present in bird's nest, so people thought of a way to soak white bird's nest in the organic fertilizer cellar. This way is more elaborate and proactive in yield and harvest time, but it is easy to distinguish, because it is composted in an organic fertilizer cellar, so the color is very uniform, red from the foot to the nest. Depending on the incubation time, 01 month will produce red oats, 2-3 months will produce blood oats. Bird's nest is a product of very high value, so before deciding to buy bird's nest and blood bird's nest, you need to find out information on social networks or find reputable, quality businesses with business licenses, certificate of food hygiene and safety to avoid buying bird's nest and poor quality bird's nest affecting health.
