Japanese Dried Scallop Gift Box  (1lb/box)

Why cook with dried scallops (Yuanbei)? They are more flavorful and nutritious. Dried scallops are mild and salty. They enrich our blood and improve spleen health. In every 100 grams of dried scallop, there are 65.7 grams of protein, which is 2-3 times more than found in chicken, beef or shrimp. According to the USDA, one 3-ounce serving of plain, steamed scallops contains 94 calories. It contains 35 milligrams of cholesterol, and 0.19 grams of both saturated fat and polyunsaturated fat. Scallops are a low-calorie and low-cholesterol food. They are also low in fats — all types of fats.

It is sweet and mild in nature. The method of cooking Yuanbei is very simple, as long as it is rinsed and soaked in clean water for half an hour or more (depending on the size of the Yuanbei.)
