What are the bugs that make up?

Farmers: Drosophila larvae

So, what are the white bugs that popped up in Yangmei? Liu Peichun has an ecological orchard in Yixing and has planted bayberry for more than a decade. He told the Modern Express reporter that these bugs are larvae of fruit flies. The scent of red bayberry has a special attraction for flies, attracting them to lay eggs, especially when red bayberry is ripe. This phenomenon occurs not only in Yangmei but also in other fruits without husks such as cherries.

He said that eating insects does not have any effect on people. “We often pick one side and eat it. When we joke, we have to add protein.”

Why are some bayberry not worming?

Farmers: May be pesticides or have been refrigerated

Then why did the reporters buy some of Yangmei's bugs, and some of them did not? Liu Peichun speculates that there are three possible reasons: “One is the pesticides that were used in the planting stage, or the physical control measures such as the use of pest control lamps. The latter cost is high, and the price of bayberry is relatively high; the second is during the sale process. In order to prolong the shelf life of bayberry, some traders will use hydrogen peroxide to soak, and the insects will also be killed. Third, the insects will be chilled during transportation and storage, and the insects will die at low temperatures."

In the latter two cases, if the insect has died, how to soak the salt water, it will not be drilled out. "So if some people really can't accept bugs, after Yangmei buys them back, it should be soaked in salt water, rinsed, eaten, and can't afford to put the refrigerator again."

Liu Peichun introduced that the most common one on the market is Dongkui Yangmei and Yangmei. Both of them are large, and Yangmei is small. There is also a crystal bayberry whose appearance is not purple but white. The bayberry's taste is also different in different places of production. The warm and stable climate and sand and soil are more delicious. "Actually, I don't use pesticides to plant Yangmei," Liu Peichun said. After hitting pesticides, Yangmei has some influence on the taste.

Does eating insects affect health?

Nutritionist: No

At the beginning of the year, some media reported that a woman in Guangzhou had a 9-centimetre-long white split-headed larva from the left frontal lobe. The doctors suspected that the cutting board used to deal with raw and cooked food was not used separately, resulting in parasite infection. Will the red bayberry be eaten together with the fruit fly, will it lead to such serious consequences?

Experts at the Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital told the reporter that “parasites in different human bodies, parasitic in different organs, will lead to different reactions, eating raw fish raw meat is very easy to be infected with parasites.” Experts said that once there was a patient because of long He had a fever and went to the hospital for examination. He found that there were nematodes in his brain, and because he had not cooked pork, he found pork tapeworms in the lungs and caused long-term cough. However, the reporter consulted with the Drum Tower Hospital and the relevant department of the Southern Medical Affiliated Hospital, and had not encountered the case of fruit fly larvae parasitizing the human body.

Liu Tingting, dietitian of the Southern Medical Affiliated Hospital, told reporters that the soaked out of bayberry, commonly known as “Myrica worms”, would not affect the human body in the case of overdose. “These worms are larvae or eggs. Therefore, a small amount of food will not be affected. After soaking with salt water, because the salt water is high in concentration, the insects will run out of bayberry under high penetration.” Some netizens said that after soaking in salt water, Blast bugs and kill them. Liang Tingting said, "soaking with salt water can play a bactericidal effect, but it can't kill insects." After immersed in salt water, it can remove dust and sterilize, which can make bayberry more hygienic and reduce irritation to the gastrointestinal tract.

to sum up

Comprehensive evaluation of two can be found, not all bayberry will appear after soaking small insects. Not just salt water, fresh water can also be immersed in insects, but the time is relatively longer. In addition, salt water does not kill bugs.
