1. The number of sea cucumber spines has nothing to do with the nutritional value of sea cucumber. The most critical factors that determine the quality of sea cucumber are the origin and sea area of sea cucumber.
2. The number of sea cucumber spines is related to the growth environment of sea cucumber, which is a geographical indicator to distinguish the origin of sea cucumber. The sea cucumber in the sea area of Shandong Peninsula, represented by the sea area of Laoshan Long Island, has few spines and is bald, but its meat is plump and thick. Sea cucumbers in the waters of Liaodong Peninsula have many sharp spines. Because the industry of sea cucumbers in Liaodong Peninsula started earlier and was widely publicized, it is easy to misunderstand.
3. The wild sea cucumbers that struggle with the tough environment are healthier and stronger, and the thorns are less obvious. The intensively cultured sea cucumber is like the flowers in the greenhouse. It has no real ability to resist the wind and rain. It is more beautiful, but its nutritional value is lower than that of wild sea cucumber.
