Here's Why Bird’s Nest Soup is One of the World's Most Expensive Foods

Natural Long Process

Edible Bird’s Nest Soup, also known as the “Caviar of the East”, is actually made from saliva of the swiftlet birds. In nature, each nest takes 30 up to 35 days to build using the male swiftlet’s saliva, which solidifies for a nesting roost during breeding time. It is then harvested for human consumptions due to its rich nutrients and high nutritional value. It only takes 3 collection times in a year after the birds rebuild their nests.

High Maintenance Standards

To maintain high quality of the Bird’s Nest Soup, there should be high standards, particularly, for the Bird’s Nest Soup house and its maintenance. Besides to ensure the space efficiency, maximum output quantity, and high quality and crystal clear nest, we also have to make sure the existing bird population will not be disturbed or obstructed in order to bring out the best quality Bird’s Nest Soup.

 

Quick but Careful Harvesting Process

In nature, the Bird’s Nest Soup must be harvested quickly but carefully, which is before the birds lay their eggs. If the birds have laid their eggs, harvesting the nest can cause damage to the eggs, then the birds would not make the nest again for the rest of the year. If we harvest too quickly, the Bird’s Nest Soup have not been fully developed and would not meet the stardards required to sell them. The process should be done when the females go hunting for food during the day.

Hygienic Cleaning Process

After this long and complicated process, finally, these natural Bird’s Nest Soup are then sold and exported to China, Hong Kong, and other countries. Back to top
