Nutritional analysis

Bonito can strengthen the spleen and stomach, and nourish yin and blood. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is believed to have the effects of nourishing the marrow and essence, improving eyesight and increasing milk production.

Purchase

You should choose slices that are wide and thin, light in color, with clear and delicate patterns, and complete but not broken. It is best to smell the bonito flakes close by or put them in your mouth and chew them. If they have a fragrant aroma and no fishy smell, then they are the best. There are also bonito flakes made from bomb fish on the market. The slices are small and have a fishy smell, and the flavor is naturally not as good as tuna bonito flakes. In addition, you can also directly purchase dried bonito blocks and slice them with a planer after returning home. However, it should be noted that if the whole bonito block can be kept dry, it can be stored for 10 years without going bad. Once it is sliced, the bonito that does not contain any preservatives needs to be refrigerated to maintain its freshness.
