People who like to eat bayberry will find that there are some white spots on the surface of bayberry, which is bayberry insect. Many people talk about insect color change. So is there any insect in Waxberry that you can eat? What will happen if you eat the insect in Waxberry? Can you eat the fruit fly insect in Waxberry? Let's get to know!
Is there any insect in Waxberry
Yes, the white bug is the larva of the fruit fly. Almost all of the larvae of Drosophila are in a pollution-free environment. Because their staple food is yeasts, and rotten fruits are easy to breed yeasts, they can be found in human habitats, such as garden, vegetable market and other areas.
'This kind of insect is not harmful to human body, but a kind of high-quality protein. According to Professor Mo, the white insects in Bayberry are actually the larvae of Drosophila. Fruit flies usually feed on honey and fruit, and they are clean. During its breeding season, it will be attracted by the smell of Myrica rubra and lay eggs on the surface of Myrica rubra. Its eggs hatch into larvae and then drill into the flesh to feed on it. If it grows naturally, it will not fly away until the larvae mature into fruit flies.
Can Myrica rubra larvae be eaten
The larvae of Drosophila are almost all in the environment without pollution, so there are almost no harmful bacteria to human body. Moreover, Drosophila larvae are a kind of high-quality protein, which can be well digested and absorbed after being eaten.
After years of clinical observation, I found a very interesting phenomenon. Some people eat while picking red bayberry on the mountain, or buy red bayberry wine to eat, few people will eat red bayberry diarrhea. Those who wash the red bayberry in the stream before eating, eating red bayberry is easy to have diarrhea. The reason may be that there are some bacteria in the stream water. The bayberry is polluted after being washed.
The shelf life of red bayberry fruit is very short, only 1-2 days under normal temperature. If there are insects in it, it will mature with the deterioration of red bayberry. The Drosophila larvae are harmless to human body in the white larval stage. Once it starts to mature and turns black, it will be harmful to human body after climbing out. Therefore, we must eat the bayberry as soon as possible after we buy it.
So the insects that eat bayberry will not do anything, but will be useful.
How to wash off the larvae of Myrica rubra
Method 1
There are still some ways, that is soaking salt and boiling water! Salt and boiling water can force out the insects in Myrica rubra, which is actually related to the osmotic pressure of salt water. Drosophila larvae will be dehydrated when they encounter high osmotic pressure of salt water, so they have to run out of Bayberry. You don't need too much salt. Dissolve 10 grams of salt in 500 ml of boiling water. If you put too much salt, although it is easier to force out insects, but after soaking bayberry, it will be salty and not delicious.
Method 2
It's best to wash bayberry with cold boiled water, so that you won't have diarrhea because of eating bayberry!
Method 3
It is reported that waxberry can be easily cleaned with starch solution or baking soda, but not every household has these two things. At this time, it is also OK to soak waxberry with flour solution. Similarly, put all the red bayberry into the flour to soak easily, then stir it with your fingers to separate the dirty things or big insects, then filter out the red bayberry, and rinse it with clean water.
