“CAVIAR OF THE EAST”
Sometimes known as the ‘Caviar of the East’, Bird’s Nests are carefully harvested from South-East Asian swallows.
Since the time of the Tang emperors (618-907 AD), this unusual delicacy has been famed for both its exquisite flavor, as well as its nutritional and healing properties. The high concentration of glycoproteins, epidermal growth factor (EGF), collagen and amino acids make bird’s nests an ideal, all natural remedy for relieving asthma, boosting the immune system and libido, improving the complexion and radiance of the skin.
To this day, Bird’s Nests are a favored tonic and dietary supplement for pregnant women, children and the elderly in Asia.
SIMPLY THE BEST
At NestBloom, we offer you simply the best Bird’s Nests without confusing you with type, colour or other marketing jargon. Instead, we carefully nurture and harvest the finest and most natural Bird’s Nests that have been abandoned by birds, and which are then cleaned with pure water. The result is a beautifully handcrafted product that is plump full with nutritional value and radiant health for you and your loved ones. Just the way nature intended..
NESTBLOOM INGREDIENTS
The bird’s nest that goes into every NestBloom is ethically sourced and hand-harvested from our bird house in Kalimantan, Indonesia. Together with all the other natural ingredients sourced from all over the world - Indonesia, France, Bulgaria, China, Japan & Africa, the dried bird’s nest undergoes rounds of stringent quality checks before they are delivered to our production facility in Singapore. Each step of the preparation process is completed by hand, including additional checks and cleaning of the bird’s nest. They are then soaked overnight to fully plump up prior to being cooked in a traditional ‘double boiling’ method for one hour to achieve the perfect, quality texture for consumption. NestBloom offers a modern and more convenient experience of bird’s nest without compromising on its nutritional goodness and exquisite flavor.
