It is known as the first of the three treasures in Northeast China and is on the verge of extinction because of growing a belly full of oil.

Many people have heard of the "three treasures of the Northeast". In the past, these three treasures were ginseng, mink and Wula grass. With the development of the times, these three treasures have gradually become three other things, among which the northeast forest frog is in the first place. This name may be strange to many people, but when it comes to its other name, snow clam, everyone probably knows it.

As a tonic, the status of "snow clam" has not been shaken so far. The snow clam produced in Northeast China has always been the most famous, which is greatly appreciated in the Compendium of Materia Medica.

Snow clam scientific name is northeast forest frog, in the northeast of China, Gross, Japan, Korea have traces of forest frog. Because this kind of forest frog has a characteristic, it hibernates for more than five months in a year, so it is called snow clam.

It lives in the icy Changbai Mountains, and it is because of its unique environmental viability and indomitable vitality that it also has the title of "crown of life". After the beginning of autumn, female snow clams begin to hoard a lot of energy to prepare for the winter, so they hoard a lot of oily substances in their bellies, which are known as supplements.

In fact, snow clam is not the meat of forest frog, but the "oil" in its belly. This oil is located in its fallopian tubes and is used to reproduce the energy stored in the coming year, that is, the snow clam oil we eat. After autumn, the belly of the northeast forest frog is full of oil, which is of the highest nutritional value.

It is recommended not to eat more.

Northeast forest frogs are not only known as supplements, they are also good at catching pests, saving large areas of crops in the countryside because of their large numbers. In addition, it can also be eaten by meat frogs, so it is an animal of great economic value. However, due to the destruction of the environment, man-made massive fishing, and the shrinking area of the primeval forest, the number of forest frogs has decreased sharply. Now the wild northeast forest frog is on the verge of extinction and has become a national protected animal.

Fortunately, artificial farming has been achieved now, and the price has gradually come down, becoming an affordable tonic for people.
