Edible frog skin? This “frog skin” is actually a green lichen that grows on stones or tree trunks. It is named as such because of its close resemblance to the skins of frogs. “Frog skin” is a traditional food of the ethnic Bai of Dali. It is also a famous food among the monastics of Jizu Mountain, a Buddhist holy mountain in Dali. The most common frog skin dishes are spicy frog skin, deep-fried frog skin, and ham and frog skin stir-fry. Frog skin is chewy and has a fresh, delicious taste. It is rich in protein, minerals, and fibre which are beneficial for physical fitness, weight maintenance, and general health. Do you want to give this natural, refreshing delicacy a try?
