ABOUT BIRD'S NEST
Shedding Light on its Source and Secrets
WHAT IS BIRD'S NEST
Bird’s nest is a traditional delicacy made from the hardened saliva of swiftlets, birds native to Southeast Asia. These birds use their saliva to build nests, which are later harvested for consumption. Renowned for its high nutritional value, bird’s nest has been cherished for centuries across various Asian cultures.
Bird’s nest has been consumed for over 400 years, dating back to the Ming Dynasty in China, where it was regarded as a prized delicacy reserved for royalty.
HOUSE VS CAVE NEST
The environment in which bird’s nests are harvested significantly impacts their quality, cleanliness, and sustainability. House nests come from carefully controlled environments, ensuring cleaner nests free from the debris commonly found in cave nests.
This controlled setting also promotes ethical and safe harvesting practices, reducing risks for workers. Additionally, house nests maintain a consistent quality due to the stable conditions, offering a reliable product for consumers who seek premium bird’s nest. In contrast, cave nests are exposed to natural elements, making them more prone to incidents like chemical seepage.
Hence, they require more extensive cleaning and processing because of impurities from their environment. Harvesting cave nests can also be dangerous, as they are often found in challenging and hazardous locations.
At SARANG, we prioritize the safety of both our customers and our workers, which is why house nests align with our commitment to quality and sustainability.
