How does loofah-style bird's nest differ from reshaped nest and the feet + loofah-style product?
Reshaped bird's nest (Grade 1, Grade 2) is pressed back into a nest and has a stated strand ratio of about 70% or about 50% strands. Loofah-style bird's nest is kept as airy strands, not pressed into a nest. The Feet + Loofah-Style product also includes bird's nest feet in the same box.
Who is loofah-style bird's nest suitable for?
Loofah-style bird's nest suits households double-boiling for home use that prioritize nest that is already clean and quick to double-boil, and do not need a nest shape for gifting. If you need a gift with a clearly visible nest shape, consider Grade 1 refined bird's nest or feather-removed bird's nest.
How do you double-boil loofah-style bird's nest?
Yến Sào Uyên Nguyên recommends double-boiling 8g of loofah-style bird's nest with 250ml of water; add rock sugar to taste.
Loofah-style strands are loose, so about 20–30 minutes of soaking in clean water is enough to soften them. Rinse gently, drain, place in a jar with water at the ratio above, double-boil over low heat for about 20 minutes, add rock sugar to taste, then double-boil for about 10 more minutes (following Pharmacity's instructions).
The fine strands turn mushy easily if double-boiled too long, so keep the heat low and turn it off when the strands are translucent and soft.
How should loofah-style bird's nest be stored?
Each box of loofah-style bird's nest from Yến Sào Uyên Nguyên contains a desiccant sachet, and the shelf life printed on the box is 24 months; this applies to dried nest that has not been double-boiled, not to nest that has already been double-boiled. Keep dried nest in a dry, well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight, and seal it tightly after opening the box. Let double-boiled nest cool, cover it tightly, keep it in the refrigerator and consume it soon.
