This time period includes the transit time for us to receive your return from the shipper (5 to 10 business days), the time it takes us to process your return once we receive it (3 to 5 business days), and the time it takes your bank to process our refund request (5 to 10 business days).

Proposition 65 warnings advise of exposures to chemicals that may contribute to an individual's overall lifetime risk of cancer or risk of birth defects or other reproductive harm. If a warning is placed on a product label or posted or distributed at a workplace, a business, or in rental housing, the business issuing the warning is aware or believes that it is exposing individuals to one or more listed chemicals.
广东人取“发”(fà)的谐音“发”(fā)而写成“发菜”,意为发财,广东通用简体字后,一律简化成“发”,使之变为互通,在农历新年的广东菜式中更为常见。
发菜始见载于清代李渔(1611-约1679年)《闲情偶记》,“菜有色相最奇而为《本草》、《食物志》诸书之所不载者,则西秦所产生之头发菜是也浸以滚水,拌以姜醋,其可口倍于藕丝、鹿角菜。”
上等的发菜颜色乌黑而丝长,煮出来的汤水呈红色。市面上有假发菜出售,多以粟米须或金鱼水草染黑仿制。要辨别真假,可用水试浸发菜,真发菜浸水后变粗发涨,且不易折断。外形整齐、长度约10厘米的发菜为佳,不要选太细密的,不要有油污味。
卷成条,放入蒸锅,大火蒸五分钟左右。 蒸好出锅的发菜卷,切成一厘米厚的片,摆盘。
