What is the difference between the color of sea cucumbers

The depth of the sea cucumber's color is related to its living environment. Because the color of the sea cucumber is a protective color of its own and will change with its environment, the color of the sea cucumber itself is not uniform.

Secondly, there are many processes for making sea cucumbers, including the traditional process of pulling salt in a vat and drying it naturally, there are light-dried sea cucumbers, sugar-dried sea cucumbers, freeze-dried sea cucumbers, etc. Different processing techniques will also result in different colors of sea cucumbers, so the depth of the color of sea cucumbers has no special meaning, but the best processing method should be the color that is closest to the color of the sea cucumber when it is caught.
