About XLSEAFOOD BIRDNEST

In Indonesia's rainforest regions, wild swifts nest in artificially built swallow sheds to lay eggs and nurse their youngsters during the rainy season.

After the swallows leave the nest, workers harvest the nest and pick the swift's nest. 

After picking the bird's nest, the bird's nest with complete appearance is sorted out, and according to the size of the bird's sac, the integrity of the bird's nest, and the clarity (degree of impurities and staining) enter the manual cleaning process.

Bird's nest with good quality and high clarity will enter the manual operation area for manual cleaning (commonly known as "ancient dry picking"), that is, the dirt in the bird's nest, such as miscellaneous hair, dirt and grass, is selected by hand.

After cleaning up, the swallow lamp enters the sorting operation area. According to the color and appearance of the bird's nest, it will be sorted into different A grades.

Bird's nest with good appearance and low clarity (commonly known as "Mao Yan") will enter the manual operation area for washing and cleaning (commonly known as "wet cleaning"), that is, the dirt of the bird's nest will be cleaned with water. After wet cleaning, part of the bird's nest lamp may be destroyed, and the gap between the bird's nest fibers will become larger. 

After wet cleaning, bird's nest will be dried into strips, referred to as bird's nest strips.

Generally speaking, 4A level bird's nest, after wet cleaning, it is small bird's nest strips, 5A/6A level bird's nest, after wet cleaning, it is a large bird's nest strip.
