What kinds of dry goods seasonings are there?

Many of my friends like to go shopping. In addition to visiting some shopping malls, they also go to stores selling daily necessities to have a look. If they need any seasoning at home, they will go here to buy it. When visiting these shops, you will find that some of the shops have "dried goods and seasonings" written on their doorheads, which makes many friends wonder what these places sell. So, what are the varieties of dry goods seasoning?

Dried goods refer to condiments and foods that have been air-dried, sun-dried, or have had their moisture removed by other methods.

1. Common dried condiments include cinnamon, chili, pepper, anise, cumin, pepper, etc.

2. Dried food includes black fungus, seaweed, longan, red dates, peanuts, and a variety of dried seafood.

3. Dried seafood includes scallops, squid, sea cucumbers, shark fins, bird's nest, fish maw, salted fish, fish skin, abalone, dried clams, and mussels, etc.

4. For dry goods, the key is to make sure the moisture has evaporated after being dried in the sun or air, which makes them easier to preserve. The shelf life is longer than that of fresh ingredients.

5. Note: When buying dried goods, remember to smell them first and then look at the color. If they are dried with excessive sulfur dioxide, they will have a sour sulfur smell and the color will be different from the normal color. For example, smoked white fungus is snow-white, and its original color is white with a yellowish tint. Also make sure it is completely dry and not moldy or rotten.

Additional information

When consumers buy dried goods, they should identify dried seafood with added formaldehyde:

At first glance, if the seafood is very white and large in size, you should avoid eating it;

Second, the seafood soaked in formaldehyde will leave some pungent odor;

Third, touch it. Seafood soaked in formaldehyde will break easily if you squeeze it.
