Matcha is a powdered tea product with the water removed, usually brewed in hot water and consumed, but also commonly used for making pastries and desserts.
Chlorophyll is from the baby silkworm feces
According to online information, baby silkworms cannot fully digest the chlorophyll in mulberry leaves after eating them, so they excrete chlorophyll in their feces.
If you take a trip to a Chinese medicine shop, you can find a herb called “silkworm sand”, which is the excrement of silkworms, and dissolve it in water to make chlorophyll. This ingredient can be found in many food products, such as chewing gum and fruit candy, all of which use silkworm sand to make green food coloring.
Therefore, when eating matcha powder is equivalent to not directly consuming the feces of baby silkworms, but somewhat similar to the concept of musk.
However, most chlorophyll on the market today is taken out from green plants, including most matcha powder is also used plant chlorophyll too, just now you see matcha powder, can still calmly eat?
I must mention that the baby silkworm is a very rich nutritional ingredients, there are Japanese food companies to the baby silkworm feces “silkworm sand” into “silkworm feces tea”, in addition to no caffeine, drink up and the fragrance of mulberry leaves it! Such a drink, you also dare to drink?
