Cave nest: is built in the natural cave and coastal cliff. As
swiftlet’s built their nest in the mountain cave, minerals from mountain wall
will infiltrate into the nest through rain dipping and high humidity in the cave
cause the nest change to golden yellow colour. Due to high demand and
uncontrolled nest harvesting, swiftlet’s habitat is damaged and become lesser
in the natural mountain. Nowadays government are promoting eco green habitat of
swiftlet’s farming, House Nest was slowly replacing Cave Nest. Suitable Group
of Consumer: Youngster/ middle age group, pregnant woman.
P/S: The main difference between
Cave Nest with other brand is that Cave Nest had to soak in the water for at
least 6-8 hours followed by stowed for another 5-6 hours then only can be
consumed. As Cave Nest contains very high mineral, it needs longer time to
prepare.
3 types of Edible Birds Nest |
Blood Nest: is categorized under cave nest as well. Scientist had prove
that blood nest does not formed by Swiftlet’s blood saliva and the reason that
change the nest into red colour is the high magnesium minerals contain on the
mountain wall that infiltrate into the nest. Lots of retailers telling consumer
that Blood Nest was foamed by Swiftlet’s blood saliva or the food’s consumed by
Swiftlet’s that change their nest into red colour. This is totally cheating and
misleading consumer with wrong info.
P/S: Blood Nest had to
soak in the water for at least 12-24 hours , stowed for another 8-10 hours then
only can be consumed. It’s totally different with what others selling in the
market preparation time is extremely short, cause of transforming House Nest
into Blood Nest.
House Nest: market name it as “Emperor Nest”. From cave nest to house
nest, golden swiftlet builds nest in different environment but it’s lifestyle
remains the same. These swiftlets still live in natural habitat, they fly out
early in the morning to find food and return in evening. House nest is
protected, so the swiftlet population has been increasing. It is more superior
than cave nest due to the fact that nutrient contents are retained when it is
harvested periodically. House nest has less minerals if compared with cave
nest. Thus, it is suitable to community of all ages.
P/S: House Nest mineral contains is
much lower compare to Cave Nest, so House Nest can only soak in the water for
1-2 hours, then stowed for another 45 minutes and ready to consume.

Making Edible Birds Nest for Pregnancy
Traditionally, Edible Birds Nest is believed to have cooling properties,
improves general pregnancy's well-being and is potentially good for the unborn
baby's complexion. Some Chinese expectant mothers would consume Edible Birds
Nest or drinks regularly during their pregnancy or maybe starting in their
second tri-semester onwards. I personally was always resistant in purchasing or
consuming Edible Birds Nest during my pregnancy because (1) Edible Birds Nests
are very expensive and such luxury products to consume and (2) From my reading,
there is no actual medical or scientific research result that proves the
benefits of Edible Birds Nests on pregnant women; that's why I did not invest
on buying Edible Birds Nests for my pregnancy early on.As one of my birthday presents, my husband bought some dry Edible Birds Nests for me. Despite the fact that at the time he bought the Edible Birds Nests I was already about 2 weeks away from delivering our baby; my husband insists that I should at least consume a little bit of Edible Birds Nest to promote my pregnancy's well-being. He said, it is better late than never or not taking the soup at all. I complied. This said, I only started consuming this soup earlier this week.
Anyhow, my Mother-in-Law was the one who helped me prepare my first Edible Birds Nest because I had no knowledge at all in preparing this kind of soup. As you might have known, I am always careful in consuming herbal remedies during my pregnancy, therefore I refused putting any kind of Chinese herbs into my Edible Birds Nest. My Mother-in-Law had no problem with my request and just put some water and rock sugar for my Edible Birds Nest. Yesterday, when my Mother-in-Law was about to prepare my second Edible Birds Nest, I told her that I wanted to try preparing it myself so she taught me how to.
