    Bird’s nest has been a highly valued delicacy in Chinese culture since the Tang Dynasty (618–907 A.D.) Eating bird’s nest was once considered a symbol of social status in ancient Chinese society, food for Emperors and Empresses, due to its rarity and expense. Today bird’s nest is a treasured source of collagen for complexion beauty and joint health.  

    Each year export of edible bird’s nest from Indonesia is at least 1,100 tons. The largest number of consumers are in Hong Kong and North America. Bird’s nest, a nutritious vegan food, costs $2,000 – $10,000 USD per kilogram and is called “Caviar of the East.”


    What is Bird’s Nest?

    Bird’s Nest is created from the hardened saliva of swiftlets. Erodramus (echolocating swiftlets) and Collocalia (non-echolocating swiftlets) are among the two genera of swiftlets known to produce valuable bird’s nest. Traditionally, daring men scaled dangerously steep inner walls of Indonesian limestone caves to collect the empty nests after the birds had flown. Today nests are harvested from large concrete structures built to resemble caves. Following a modern cleansing process, including soaking, steaming, and removing dirt and baby bird feathers, the clean nests are closely inspected and prepared for market.
