The hard-shelled sea barnacles, tightly attached as parasites on the whale's skin, were also not scraped off and wasted. After being cleaned and collected by the guards using daggers, the total mass gathered amounted to several hundred kilograms, piled up into a small mound.
It was just that for a safety reason, because they lived as parasites directly on the whale's body, more or less during the water filtering process they would suck in impurities or pathogens existing on the host. Although the ocean environment at the current time was still incredibly clean, not severely polluted with chemicals like in the future eras that Jasmine had lived in, in order to ensure absolute safety for the health of the citizens and to prevent the unlikely event of a food poisoning incident, Jasmine adamantly forbade everyone in the territory from cooking those barnacles to eat.
