　　The land of fish and rice, Xinghua, boasts an extensive network of rivers and vast water areas, producing a wide variety of aquatic products. River shrimp is one of them, and river shrimp roe is a premium ingredient derived from these shrimp. Shrimp roe, also known as shrimp eggs, is the dried form of shrimp eggs, typically processed during the summer and autumn seasons. Both the roe itself and its derivative products can be used as seasonings, offering an exceptionally delicious flavor. Rich in protein, it also provides certain medicinal benefits. The Qing Dynasty’s “Supplement to the Compendium of Materia Medica” cites “Food Prohibitions and Preferences” as stating: shrimp roe “when fresh, tastes sweet; when pickled, tastes salty-sweet; both are warm in nature, boost yang energy, and improve blood circulation.” Furthermore, the excellent environmental quality of Xinghua ensures the outstanding quality of its river shrimp roe.
