Dried sea cucumber is a processed and dehydrated seafood product. It is usually made from fresh sea cucumbers after a series of processes such as cleaning, cooking, and drying. Dried sea cucumbers are widely used in cooking and as a tonic because they are easy to store and transport and have high nutritional value. They are rich in protein, collagen, and a variety of trace elements and amino acids.
