- Description: Edible-nest Swiftlets (燕窩) as soup ingredient
The top image shows the inside of a nest (shown here upside down). The bottom one shows how it would look when stuck on the wall of the cave. The nests are about 3" long in this photo. These nests are still slightly moist hence requires refrigeration though most are sold completely dry.
As of 2005, dried birdnests can be priced between US$1000 to US$3000 per pound in San Francisco area depending on the type of nest and moisture contents. The moist variety costs less per pound because it weighs more for the same amount of material. The sample in this picture cost about US$20 each.
The nests are double steamed until they are broken into tiny Jello-like bits.
