Wild Catch

The southern waters of Chile, South America, are home to numerous archipelagos and a long coastline. Being close to the Antarctic, the weather is cold, and the area is sparsely populated. The sea water here is clear, and marine species are abundant, making it an important seafood production area in the world. This area also produces a lot of sea cucumbers, with lychee sea cucumber being one of the main species.

Processing of Lychee Sea Cucumber

After being caught, lychee sea cucumbers are processed into salted dried and unsalted dried lychee sea cucumbers using different techniques.

Salted Dried Lychee Sea Cucumber (Inferior)
Sea cucumbers boiled in seawater or saturated brine, then coated with salt and plant ash and sun-dried, are called salted dried sea cucumbers. This is the traditional processing method for salted dried sea cucumbers, the purpose of which, in addition to dehydration and preservation, is to increase weight. Depending on the number of times salt is applied, they are called one-time salted, two-time salted... five-time salted, etc. The more times salt is applied, the heavier the individual sea cucumber and the worse the quality. Salted dried sea cucumbers salted more than three times not only have a thick layer of salt on their surface, but their collagen structure and nutritional content are also destroyed by the salt. Most lychee sea cucumbers sold in the American market are salted dried.

Unsalted Dried Lychee Sea Cucumber (Superior)
Low-salt, fully dried lychee sea cucumber, also known as unsalted dried lychee sea cucumber, is made by cleaning and disinfecting freshly caught lychee sea cucumbers, then dehydrating and air-drying them at low temperatures using advanced equipment. The unsalted drying process can preserve the collagen structure and nutritional value of lychee sea cucumber to the greatest extent.

XLSEAFOOD's Unsalted Drying Process

Fresh sea cucumbers are manually desalted and naturally air-dried under the California sun. Throughout the entire processing, no salt, sugar, or any other chemical agents are added, making it a green, organic, and natural health food. After rehydration, XLSEAFOOD's lychee sea cucumbers have a yellowish-brown mottled skin, white flesh, a soft and tender texture, and thick gelatinous flesh, making them most suitable for stewing. Because lychee sea cucumbers are rich in collagen, they are a natural beauty-enhancing ingredient.
