00:00This is something 99% of Americans would just throw away, but in China, 10 grams of it can sell for a whopping $899, and believe it or not, people eat it almost every day.
00:10It's called jinejin. You'd never guess, but it's actually the tough inner membrane from a chicken's stomach.
00:15At the slaughterhouse, workers carefully cut open the chicken's stomach and peel off this membrane.
00:19They wash it multiple times to get rid of impurities, then lay it out in the sun to dry.
00:24It turns into a golden hard thin sheet that doesn't look like much at all.
00:27But in China, jinejin is worth a fortune. It's usually ground into a fine powder, which is used in soups, teas, and even traditional medicinal dishes.
00:35In Chinese medicine, it's believed to help with digestion, ease stomach issues, and treat food stagnation.
00:40It's known for being especially helpful for kids with indigestion or adults with stomach troubles.
00:44When you taste it, it has a subtle toasted flavor.
00:47The powder doesn't really taste strong, but it's smooth and easy to drink, almost like a gentle supplement.
00:52That's why jinejin is called gold from trash.
00:54Not only is it crazy expensive, but it's also an essential natural ingredient in many people's daily health routines.
01:00It's a treasure in China, while in the U.S., most people would just toss it in the trash.
