    Turtle paste is a thick-tasting dessert that is very popular in southern China and Hong Kong. Its main raw materials include water, turtle shell, bird's nest, isinglass and other natural ingredients, and is made by adding appropriate amounts of sugar, lemon juice and other condiments. Among them, tortoise shell is one of the most important raw materials, which can increase the viscosity and taste.


    It should be noted that the production process of turtle jelly requires strict control of water temperature and time to ensure that the protein contained in the turtle shell can solidify to form a special texture and taste, and to eliminate possible hygiene problems such as bacteria and parasites. Therefore, if you do not understand the production process of turtle jelly or are unsure of the source of the turtle shell, it is recommended to consume it with caution.
