Summer is coming soon, and it's time to eat snails. Snails are mollusks that live in ponds. This kind of animal is edible. But snails also need to be paid attention to when they eat. They are delicious, but they are not good if they are infected with parasites. So what are the taboos of eating snails?
Can we eat all the snails
It is not recommended to eat all, just the front. What the snail eats is that the hard meat (head and foot) on the top of the front mouth is edible. One of the snails is tough and tough meat. Remember, the hardest piece of meat. Some of the soft parts of the tail are intestines, which are the areas where feces and viscera are concentrated. This part is easy to parasitize some harmful substances and parasites. In addition, it is not recommended to eat it because it is relatively dirty.
Which part of the snail can't eat
1. The tail of the snail, that is, the buttock, is its internal organs, which are relatively dirty. Generally, the parasite bacteria are in that place. Sometimes there are many snail eggs, which are also the excreta of the snail. It's not recommended and tastes bad. It's best to cut it off when cleaning.
2. The tail of the snail is excreta, which is easy to be absorbed on the wall of the digestive tract after eating, not easy to digest, and easy to cause intestinal discomfort.
Precautions for eating snails:
1. Impurities in the screw body shall be removed before processing
Put the fresh snail into a container, add clear water (a little sesame oil can be dripped into the water) and let it stand for half a day, so that the snail can spit out the impurities in the body naturally, then wash it with clear water, cut off the tail and tip of the snail with scissors, and wash it with clear water again.
2. Boil in high temperature before cooking
Put the cleaned snails into boiling water, boil them, and then take them out for standby (add condiments such as onion, ginger, cooking wine, etc. to remove the peculiar smell of snails). When the temperature is above 80 ℃, the larvae can be killed.
3. Pay attention to thoroughly cooking
After the first two steps of processing, you can cook a variety of snail delicacies according to your personal preferences. But it must be noted that the snail must be cooked thoroughly and fried for at least 20 minutes to prevent dysentery and parasite infection. The substances secreted by the brain nerves of conch can cause food poisoning, so the head should be removed before eating.

Parasitic diseases can be prevented, that is, to ensure that you do not eat raw or half cooked snail meat.
5. Diet taboo of snail
Snail should not be eaten with wax gourd, cantaloupe, Auricularia and sugar, or with Chinese gecko and Western oxytetracycline.
