認識燕窩 :

燕窩乃是中國四大傳統滋補佳品之尊以及「山珍海味」八珍之首。四大傳統補品為燕窩﹑人參﹑魚翅及鮑魚。八大珍品則有燕窩﹑狸唇﹑駝峰﹑猴頭﹑熊掌﹑鹿筋﹑黃唇膠和脯。中國人食用燕窩的歷史可追溯至唐代﹐燕窩當時已經是朝廷的「貢品」。據說女皇帝武則天可是當時享用燕窩的帝王愛好佼佼者。在十七世紀後期﹐年年都有大量的燕窩從爪哇的巴達維亞(現稱雅加達)輸入中國。燕窩為雨燕科動物金絲燕及同屬燕類用唾液與絨羽混合凝結而成的窩﹐西方所謂“ EDIBLE BIRDSNEST ” 就是“可吃的鳥巢”的意思。築成“可吃的鳥巢”金絲燕﹐它與普通家燕不相同﹐比較小一些﹐翅長而尖﹐短尾﹐腳細弱﹐飛翔力很強﹐不善行走或站立﹐故它們好像蝙蝠那樣勾著來休息或睡覺﹐它們用非常發達的唾液泉﹐以分泌出來的唾液在空氣中可凝成固體。金絲燕一年裡可築巢三次﹐產卵期接近時﹐體態會逐漸丰滿起來﹐唾液也較多﹐所以築成的巢穴也比較大﹐有時由于時間太緊迫﹐它們就借助一些其他建築材料﹐比如本身絨羽﹐小草﹐小樹根之類﹐再與唾液混合一起筑巢.

其實燕子一年筑巢三次﹐都是為了生蛋迎接小生命的到來﹐每個巢窩只住一次﹐待小燕子生長能飛時棄窩而去﹐燕子築窩大概四十五日﹐七日至十日生蛋﹐用十五日左右孵蛋﹐出世的小燕子會在四十五至五十日後才會飛走。這一段過程前後共一百一十日至一百二十日﹐采燕窩工作都會在小燕子飛走後才進行﹐金絲燕的壽命則是十五至二十年。燕窩的出產地在東南亞一帶﹐如印尼﹑馬來西亞﹑泰國﹑緬甸﹑越南等地區﹐其中以印尼燕窩產量為最高﹐有統計資料表明印尼所產燕窩佔目前市場份額的80%至85%﹐當然質量之優也是愛好享用燕窩者之選。
“燕之宝”天然純正燕窩含豐富營養成份。對于﹕愛美者﹑養生者﹑孕婦﹑孩童﹑老年人﹐小量而長期享用會得到一定的效果。「本草綱目」記載﹐燕窩入肺生氣﹐入腎滋水﹐入胃補脾﹐補而不燥﹐潤而不滯。古往今來﹐它已被視為食療補品之尊.

一﹑ 燕窩的益處

燕窩是「大養肺陰﹐化痰止嗽﹐補而能清﹐為調理虛勞之聖藥」﹐也被譽為滋補養顏的恩物﹐除了有賴人家所認識的成份如豐富的膠原水溶性蛋白質及黏多醣等能有滋潤皮膚的成份外﹔根據香港<選擇>月刊報導﹐燕窩亦含有一種表皮生長因子﹐可刺激細胞生長及促進人體細胞繁殖與再生﹔而其活性蛋白水溶液又可以直接刺激免疫系統的細胞長生﹐加速新陳代謝﹐抑制胃酸﹐促進血液循環﹐增強心臟功能﹐有助增進食慾﹐對於老人小孩病後補身最為有效﹗最近網上更有報導﹐據最新醫學研究證明﹐燕窩性質屬於一種抗氧化食品﹐具有排毒功效﹐甚至有個別案例顯示﹐燕窩之食療能夠有治療肺癌之功效呢﹗辜物論燕窩真的是否有上述的神奇功效﹐但就中醫角度來說﹐燕窩味甘﹑性平﹑不寒不燥﹔入肺﹑胃﹑腎經﹐皆具有滋陰潤燥﹐補中益氣功用。自古以來燕窩的療效絕對是受肯定的﹐可以說是多吃有益而無害﹗

二﹑ 燕窩的功效

補肺養陰﹑止肺虛行性咳嗽﹑減少肺氣病變。包括肺陰虛之哮喘咳﹑痰中帶血﹑咳血﹑咯血﹑支氣管炎﹑出汗﹑低潮熱。
補虛養胃﹑止胃寒性﹑嘔吐。胃陰虛引起之反胃﹑干嘔﹑腸鳴。
凡病後虛弱﹑癆傷﹑中氣虧損各症﹐配合燕窩作食﹐能滋陰調。
脾虛之多汗﹑小便頻繁﹑止汗﹑氣虛﹑ ﹑夜尿。
燕窩含多種氨基酸﹐嬰幼兒和兒童常吃能長智慧﹑增加思維﹐長大以後身體壯實﹐臉色白裡透紅永遠不長暗瘡。
孕婦在妊娠期間﹑產前產後進吃﹐則有安胎﹑補胎之效。
燕窩是天然增津液的食品﹐並含多種氨基酸﹐對食道癌﹐咽喉肝癌﹑直腸癌等有抑制和抗衡作用。
凡經電療﹑化療而引起的後遺症﹐如咽干﹑咽通﹑便秘﹑嘔等食燕窩都有明顯的改善。
老人吃了﹐肌膚嫩白細膩光滑﹐有彈性和光澤﹐臉色紅潤﹐從而減少皺紋﹐有返老返童之功。
燕窩是一種抗氧化食品﹐具有排毒功效﹐長期食用可達到延緩衰老的目的。
它也能消除因工作或學業壓力產生的疲勞和增強記憶力，強心﹑降壓作用。對B型肝炎﹑肝硬化有一定的療效。

三﹑ 燕窩的種類

首先必須釐清﹐並非所有燕窩都可以食用﹐因一般燕子築巢多是由樹枝﹑雜草和泥土組成﹐所以並不能食用﹔只有一種分佈在東南亞的金絲燕﹐它會吐出唾液結於懸崖峭壁並築成窩巢﹐再經人工採集﹑剔毛除污後才是可以食用的燕窩﹔其中白燕和黃燕是較常見的食用燕窩﹐而血燕窩則因數量少﹑顏色怪而被視為珍品。其實﹐燕窩會有不同顏色的原因很多﹐如金絲燕的種類﹑棲息地及吞食的生物不同﹑唾液受空氣氧化等﹐都可能是造成燕窩不同顏色的原因。燕窩以形狀分則有盞﹑條﹑餅﹑塊﹑絲﹑碎﹑球等。以質地計有屋燕﹑洞燕﹑毛燕﹑草燕和沒有商業價值的土燕。

四﹑ 從生物化學的角度看燕窩

根據香港中文大學江潤祥教授和關培生先生寫了一篇<燕窩考>﹐對燕窩的歷史沿革所載甚詳。江教授在一九八七年發表了一篇研究報告﹐証實了燕窩的蛋白質含有大量生物活性的蛋白份子﹐這些份子可能是滋補復壯之源。江氏在 <燕窩考> 中謂﹕[今日科學研究所知﹐燕窩確實含有表皮生
長因子(Epidermal Growth Factor)﹐燕窩的水提更可直接刺激細胞生長及對分
裂原有增效作用(Mitogenic Stimulation Factor)。

這些表皮生長因子的作用﹐和中醫藥所說的補中益氣功能互為呼應。學者們總結燕窩的三種功能為﹕

一．促進細胞組織的再生﹔
二．增加身體的免疫功能﹔
三．增加身體對X光或其他放射線損害的抵抗力。

另外一項非常重要的功能是「美容基因」﹐它能刺激多種細胞的分裂增值﹐促進細胞分化﹐對受損皮膚進行快速修復﹐促進手術創口和創面的癒合﹔它能影響人體皮膚的細膩和老化﹐能啟動衰老皮膚的細胞﹐使皮膚變得光滑而有彈性。

五﹑ 從營養學的角度看燕窩

燕窩從營養分析主要含有醣類(調節免疫功能基石)﹑蛋白質中的氨基酸和各種元素含量(鈉﹑鈣﹑鎂﹑磷﹑鉀﹑銅﹑鋅﹑鐵和碘)。據說燕窩的蛋白質是一種不完全蛋白﹐不能與牛奶或雞蛋的蛋白質相比。此外﹐燕窩還有一些微量但有醫療價值的東西還未被人發掘出來﹐所以不能單從醣﹑蛋白質的含量去評估它的價值的高低。

六﹑ 燕窩燉法和吃法

燉燕窩最好是採用不含氯成分的清水来炖煮，或是用蒸馏水(R.O.水) ，再不然就用礦泉水﹐而且每人燉煮份量為5至6克。要注意的是泡浸和燉煮時間的長短，須視燕窩的品質和種類而定。屋燕燉煮的時間則只需45分鐘。吃燕窩的正確方法在於少食多餐﹐最好每日早晚各吃一次﹐或是每週至少食 用3次﹐如此才能保證腸胃充份吸收燕窩的營養精華和功效。吃燕窩最好是空肚吃﹐因空肚吃吸收力甚強。根据傳統理論，人體在晚上11時至凌晨1時處于最鬆弛狀態，而且很容易“歸經”，滋陰食品很容易被人體吸收，過盛的熱氣也很容易排出體外。

七﹑ 燕窩的保存

燕窩價格昂貴﹐因此必須注意小心貯存﹐防止其受潮而發霉。一般可將燕窩裝入乾淨的塑膠盒﹐內附防潮保護層和吸濕劑﹐密封並放於乾燥處。冷 藏效果較好﹐並注意防止潮氣侵入。溫度在攝氏5度左右時﹐燕窩可保存較長的時間。如少量貯存﹐可將燕窩包裹後裝入塑膠袋﹐封口﹐並放入雪櫃﹐可保不致變質。 總之﹐燕窩應置於通風﹑陰涼和乾爽之處﹐不宜在陽光下暴曬。

左图表示出产白燕窝的国家。(点击地图放大观看)。食用燕窝的历史可以追索到1,500年前的中国唐代（A.D. 618-907）。燕窝被认为是被中国航海的水手从南洋一带（东南亚国家）带回，并当作御膳供奉给皇上。在那个时代，食用燕窝是皇帝与皇族的特权。后来，在皇帝的恩准下，燕窝及其营养价值开始被一般民众认识。燕窝的需求因此持续攀升。现今，此产品的主要的销售市场是全球的华人，包括主要的销售市场，如中国大陆、香港、台湾，以及其他地区，如新加坡、美国、中东国家等地。由于华人都认为燕窝汤有益健康，因此它是上等阶级华人家庭中被推崇的佳肴。在香港的一些餐厅，老饕们甚至愿意付上US$60.00 来品尝一碗上好的燕窝汤!餐厅对燕窝的需求一般上是固定的，但农历新年期间却是餐厅对燕窝需求的顶峰时期。燕窝更是农历新年期间最常见的礼品，因为以燕窝作为礼品，有表示希望对方健康长寿之意，除此，亦表示送礼者的在社会上不同一般的身份。燕窝汤是华人文化以及传统，已有上百年的历史了。亚洲地区经济的迅速成长，以及每碗燕窝汤市价的上涨已经让燕窝成为“东方的鱼子酱”。燕窝汤可以被其他浓汤代替，但是它作为身份标志的象征却无法被代替。

Information
“Bird’s Nest” or better known as “edible Bird’s Nest” in the West, is basically salivary secretion of the male swiftlets. These swiftlets are known as Collocallia Fuciphagus (Collocallia species). The sticky secretion is regurgitated to form the nest.
Among the 90 species of swiftlets found in Southeast Asia, only 3 are found to make nests of efficacy value, namely the Aerodramus Germania, Aerodramus Fuciphagus and Aerodramus Maximus. These swiflets have very short bills, wide mouths, small and weak feet, and long crescent shaped wings. They are relatively small in size. They never perch or rest except when they are sleeping, building their nests, or feeding their young. Their nests are made of glutinous strands of starched-like saliva produced by a pair of large salivary glands under their tongue.
These species build their new homes in the caves of Southeast Asian region in Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines and Vietnam during the winter months.

Information (Continue)
The Aerodramus Germania species, found only in Vietnam produces superior quality nests. However, it produces a mere 1% of the world's swiftlet nest. It is also the most expensive of the bird’s nest.
The Aerodramus Fuciphagus species commonly found in countries like Indonesia, and Thailand is ranked second for nest quality. The nest it produces is good because of the fewer impurities found in the nests.The Aerodramus Maximus produces the poorest quality as its nest contains more feathers and other impurities. Thus, the price is much lower compared to the aforementioned nests. Suppliers usually remove the saliva strands from the dirt and grass made by Maximus and put the collected saliva strand in a leaf-shape mold to make bird’s nest pieces. The nutritional value of this molded bird’s nest is much less due to the long handling and processing time.

Information (Continue)
The existence of House Bird’s Nest is primarily due to efforts protect to the swiftlet birds and their nests from over harvesting. The suppliers decided to try house farming by inducing the swiftlets into the house to build their nest, it was a success. Thus, the name “ House Bird’s Nest” is introduced. Housed swiftlets consume mostly farm insects that they can find in the fields. Both Cave and House bird’s nest have strong protein aroma after cooking. Some say House Bird’s Nest isn’t as tangy, tasty or smooth in texture when compared to the cave’s nests.
Unethical businessmen sell fake bird's nest by using seaweed, pig skin or white fungus into a bird's nest. The fake bird's nest usually dissolved in water after soaking, or shows an oily film on the water's surface. So, make sure you purchase your bird's nest from a trusted retailer.

Information - Benefits of Bird’s Nest
Bird’s nest contains very high water-soluble glyco-protein, the benefits of Bird’s Nest have been asserted by Chinese medicine practitioners to include:
. "Epidermal growth factor" (EGF) - responsible for skin and tissue repair . Enhancing body's immune system through promotion of cell division caused by the water-soluble glyco-protein . Healing illnesses connected to rthe espiratory system such as chronic cough, asthma or throat infection. . Preventing cancer and aiding in the treatment of cancer patients

HOW TO COOK BIRD'S NEST

Cooking Method (One to two serving)

Preparing: Rinse with a calendar and soak one to two pieces of natural bird’s nest for 4 hours to overnight. Change the soaking water 4 to 5 times during soaking. Rinse out all the soaking water and the bird’s nest is ready for cooking.
Cooking:

1. Double boiling - Put the bird’s nest into a ceramic pot with water (One cup of water per one piece of nest.) Cover with a ceramic lid.

2. Put the ceramic pot with bird’s nests into a larger cooking pot and fill water one inch below the rim of the ceramic pot. Cover with pot lid. Use high heat to bring the water in larger pot to boil (about 10 to 15 mins.) Then turn to low heat to cook for 45 minutes to 4 hours depending on the type of nests you are cooking.
In general, White Nests take 45 minutes to 1 hour to cook. Golden Nests take 2 to 3 hours to cook. Red Nests take 3 to 4 hours to cook.

3. After cooking, turn off the heat and open the ceramic lid to prevent over cooking. Add rock sugar, honey or milk and it is ready to serve. Or put the cooked nests in refrigerator to chill and serve within 3 to 5 days.

Note: To avoid cross contaminating the cooked nests, always use dry and clean utensils.

HISTORY OF BIRD'S NEST

According to many classical Chinese books about health food, swiftlet nest was imported into China from the Southeast Asian region since the T'ang Dynasty (A.D. 618-907). Chinese records on swiftlet nest consist mainly of several categories of historical documentation, including official histories, notes of scholars, travel records, books on dining, books on health food, and books on medical herbs. Swiftlet nest became well known by physicians, connoisseurs, encyclopedic scholars, and traders beginning in the early 17th Century. Consequently, Swiftlet nest developed into a well-known and well-accepted precious health food.

History of Bird's Nest (Continue)
From the historical documents, a progressive familiarity of the swiftlet nest evolved through time. The records of around year 1587 show that large amount of swiftlet nest was imported into China and an import duty was levied on the nest. In 1618, the amount of swiftlet nest imported had increased so much that a reduction on the import duty was granted by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, swiftlet nest was well accepted as precious food by residents of Guangdong and Fujian Provinces. From then on, records about swiftlet nest became more detailed and covered even its place of origin.
Hundreds of years after swiftlet nest had been accepted as a precious food in China, it was further accepted by the Chinese to have medical and health enhancing effects. Descriptions of such effects

History of Bird's Nest (Continue)
are found in the works of two famous practitioners of Chinese medicine in the Qing Dynasty. The medical and health-enhancing effects of swiftlet nest have been formally confirmed and accepted by Chinese medical practitioners after centuries of observation and validation. Swiftlet nest has been considered able to slow down the aging process, in other words, a rejuvenating agent. Swiftlet nest also acts as a demulcent to the lungs and has been used in relieving phlegm and coughs.
Based on modern research, the protein contained in swiftlet nest is distinct in that it is a biologically active protein, providing revitalization to the human body. Research reveals that Swiftlet nest

History of Bird's Nest (Continue)
contains an epidermal growth factor, and water extraction of Swiftlet nest can directly stimulate cell growth/regeneration and enhance the effectiveness of mitogen (the initiator in cell division). Also, this active protein in the nest makes it a very useful tonic for people with weak digestion systems (e.g. elderly people), and for people that need a very rapid cell regeneration and development (e.g.: pregnant women, growing children). The most recent published research confirms that the high content of water-soluble glyco-protein in swiftlet nest promotes cell division within the immune system.

Malaysia Bird's Nest - Introduction Of Bird's Nest

Bird's Nest Supplier & Exporter

Bird's nest / bird's nest soup is a delicacy in Chinese cuisine. A few species of swiftlet, the cave swiftlets, are renowned for building the saliva nests used to produce the unique texture of this soup.The Chinese name for bird's nest soup, yàn wō ( 燕窝 ) , translates literally as "swiftlet nest". When dissolved in water, the birds' nests have a gelatinous texture used for soup.
The edible bird's nests are among the most expensive animal products consumed by humans. The bird's nests have been traditionally used in Chinese cooking for more than 400 years, most often as bird's nest soup.
The most heavily harvested nests are from the Edible-nest Swiftlet or White-nest Swiftlet and the Black-nest Swiftlet. The white nests （house nest) and the cave nest are supposedly rich in nutrients which are traditionally believed to provide health benefits, such as aiding digestion, raising libido, improving the voice, alleviating asthma, improving focus, and an overall benefit to the immune system.
The bird's nests are built during the breeding season by the male swiftlet over a period of 45 days. They take the shape of a shallow cup stuck to the cave wall. The nests are composed of interwoven strands of salivary laminate cement. Both nests have high levels of calcium, iron, potassium, and magnesium.
Hong Kong and China are the largest importers of bird's nests. In Hong Kong a bowl of Bird Nest Soup would cost USD 30 USD to USD 100. A kilogram of white nest can cost up to USD 4,500, and a kilogram of “red blood” nest can cost up to $10,000 USD.
The bird's nests were traditionally harvested from caves called as Cave Nest, principally the enormous limestone caves at Gomantong and Niah in Borneo. With the escalation in demand these sources have been supplanted since the late 1990s by purpose-built swiftlet houses, usually reinforced concrete structures following the design of the Southeast Asian shop-house. These swiftlet houses are normally found in urban areas near the sea or forest in Malaysia, since the swiftlets have a propensity to flock in such places. This has become an extraordinary industry call as swiftlet farming, mainly based on a series of towns in Malaysia which have been completely transformed by the activity. From there the nests are mostly exported to Hong Kong, which has become the centre of the world trade, though most of the final consumers are from mainland China.

六．燕窝炖法和吃法
炖燕窝最好是采用不含氯成份的清水来炖煮，或是用蒸馏水（R.O.水），在不然就用矿泉水，而且每人炖煮分量为5至6克。要注意的是浸泡和炖煮时间的长短，须视燕窝的品质和种类而定。屋燕炖煮的时间者则只需45分钟。吃燕窝的正确方法在于少食多餐，最好每日早晚各吃一次，或是每周至少使用3次，如此才能保证肠胃充分吸收燕窝的营养精华和功效。吃燕窝最好是空肚吃，因空肚吃吸收力甚强。根据传统理论，人体在晚上11时至凌晨1时处于最松弛状态，而且很容易“归经”，滋阴食品很容易被人体吸收，过盛的热气也很容易排出体外。
七．燕窝的保存
燕窝价格昂贵，因此必须注意小心贮存，防止其受潮而发霉。一般可将燕窝装入干净的塑胶盒，内附防潮保护层和吸湿剂，密封並放于干燥处。冷藏效果较好，并注意防止潮气侵入。温度在摄氏5度左右时，燕窝可保存较长的时间。如少量贮存，可将燕窝包裹后装入塑胶袋，封口，并放入雪柜，可保不致变质。总之，燕窝应置于通风，阴凉和干爽之处，不宜在阳光下暴晒。
珍贵和营养的燕窝
1． 对于贫血、燥热、流行性感冒、咳嗽、哮喘、老化等有关连的疾病与癌症有治疗和增强的功效。
2． 有助于患病、手术或产后的康复和补身。
3． 给于身体和精神方面茂盛的力量。
4． 维护健康、延缓老化过程和保留青春。
5． 有助用于各种身体疾病的治疗。
6． 加速血液循环和滋润皮肤、使皮肤细腻，有弹性和光滑。
7． 增强肺部功能和延长寿命。
8． 含有可刺激细胞表皮成长的元素。

燕窝是珍贵和营养的。其乃雨燕的唾液，所包含的元素可刺激细胞和表皮成长。燕窝是营养、开胃和有益于眼睛。同时对病后复原的病人非常有帮助。
雨燕以自己的唾液建成燕巢，其中包含非常高的纤维。血燕窝则引起包含更多的纤维和收成的时间长而更珍贵。燕窝乃一卓越、健康、优质的食品，现代研究显示燕窝含有高含量的蛋白质、磷、钙和矿物质。
它可增强我们的呼吸系统和肺部功能，延长寿命和延缓老化。他高度被推荐为长期食用物品和适合于每一个年龄层。其主要成份乃促进细胞成长和组织维复的蛋白质。
经化学分析，其主要成分含有可溶性蛋白质（60%），水份（10%），脂肪，碳水化合物、钾和钠。

三．燕窝的种类
首先必须厘清，並非所有燕窝都可以食用，因一般燕子筑巢多是由树枝，杂草和泥土组成，所以並不能食用；只有一种分佈在东南亚的金丝燕，它会吐出唾液结于悬崖峭壁並筑成窝巢，再经人工采集，剔毛除污后才是可以食用的燕窝。其中白燕和黄燕是较长见的食用燕窝，而血燕窝则因数量少，颜色特殊而被视为珍品。其实，燕窝会有不同颜色的原因很多，如金丝燕的种类，栖息地及吞食的食物不同，唾液受空气氧化等，都可能是造成燕窝不同颜色的原因。燕窝以形状分类则有盏、条、饼、块、丝、碎、球等。以质地分类计有屋燕，洞燕、毛燕、草燕和没有商业价值的土燕。
四．从生物化学的角度看燕窝
根据香港中文大学江润祥教授和关培生先生写了一篇<燕窝考>，对燕窝的历史沿革所载甚详。江教授在一九八七年发表了一遍研究报告，证实了燕窝的蛋白质含有大量生物活性的蛋白份子，这些份子可能是滋补复壮之源。江氏在<燕窝考>中谓:[今日科学研究所知，燕窝确实含有表皮生长因子(Epidermal Growth Factor)，燕窝的水提更可直接刺激细胞生长及对分裂原有增效作用(Mitogenic Stimulation Factor)。]
这些表皮生长因子的作用和中药医所说的补中益气功能互为呼应。学者们总结燕窝的三种功能为： ：
一． 促进细胞组织的再生
二． 增加身体的免疫功能
三． 增加身体对X光或其他放射线损害的抵抗力另外一项非常重要的功能是[美容基因]，它能刺激多种细胞的分裂增值，促进细胞分化，对受损皮肤进行快速修复，促进手术创口和创面的愈合；它能影响人体皮肤的细腻和老化，能启动衰老皮肤的细胞使皮肤变得光滑而有弹性

一．燕窝的益处
燕窝是大养肺阴，化痰止咳，补而能清，为调理虚劳之圣药，也被誉为滋补养颜的恩物。除了有赖人家所认识的成分，如丰富的胶原水溶性蛋白质及黏多醣，能有滋润皮肤的成份外，根据香港，<选择>月刊报导，燕窝亦含有一种表皮生长因子，可刺激细胞生长及促进人体细胞繁殖与再生。而其活性蛋白水溶液又可以直接刺激免疫系统的细胞长生，加速新陈代谢，抑制胃酸，促进血液循环，增强心脏功能，有助增进食欲，对于老人小孩病后补身最为有效!最近网上更有报导，据最新医学研究证明，燕窝性质属于一种抗氧化食品，具有排毒功效。甚至有个别案例显示，燕窝之食疗能够有治疗肺癌之功效呢!无论燕窝真的是否有上述的神奇功效，但就中医角度来说，燕窝味甘，性平，不寒不燥；入肺、胃、肾经，皆具有滋阴润燥，补中益气功用。自古以来燕窝的疗效绝对是受肯定的，可以说是多吃有益而无害!
