Yilan Softshell Turtle Farm Introduction
People love to eat "soft-shelled turtle," also known as "Chinese soft-shelled turtle" or "water turtle," because it is a high-protein, low-fat delicacy. The fish farm in Yilan specializes in breeding soft-shelled turtles. These turtles thrive in high-temperature environments, and the hot springs in Jiaoxi naturally provide an ideal temperature of around 30 degrees Celsius year-round. Therefore, the farm owner thought of using the hot springs to raise "soft-shelled turtles." The turtle meat is fresh and delicious, with a chewy texture, making it one of the most trusted sources of turtle meat for local restaurant operators. With over 30 years of professional farming, the farm effectively manages the growth conditions of the turtles and the quality of the pond water, supplying healthy, uncontaminated live turtles without aquaculture drugs. Turtle meat is nutritious, low in calories, and rich in collagen, making it suitable for safe cooking and consumption. Here, the soft-shelled turtles are raised using Jiaoxi hot spring water in a healthy and uncontaminated environment.
