Many insects are nutrient-rich and high in protein and micronutrients. Not only are they nutritious, but they also taste great and appeal to the taste buds of many foods. Eating insects has become a normal diet. Although many insects look fierce and scary.
But the flavor is really delicious and unique. You can’t stop it. Many of the food insects on the market can actually be cultivated. Of all the edible insects, which one is your favorite?
Tussah silkworm is a kind of treasure, and its nutritional value is very high. It is said that it was praised as a valuable tonic in the Tang Dynasty. It is also said that three silkworm pupae are worth an egg. The tussah silkworm is full of treasure, and its cocoon can be made into silk, or used for weaving or making silk quilts. Silkworm pupa is a rare delicacy and can be sold for dozens of pieces per kilogram.
Can be used for deep frying, deep frying, dry frying, boiling, barbecue and so on. Silkworm moths that lay their eggs are also delicious to people, and are mostly fried and eaten. They are said to be a great tonic. There are even wineries that specialize in silkworm moth wine.
Mung bean worm, it may be said, is the favorite of people in northern Jiangsu, and even is regarded as the best, because of its high nutritional value, known as “bean Dan”. It’s actually an all-natural soft insect that eats bean leaves and drinks nectar. Green is everywhere.
To eat the pea worm, you should remove its head and squeeze out the meat. Soup is best. Because mung bean beetles taste delicious and are nutritious, they are very marketable and have been bred in captivity. This is currently a better breeding program in rural areas.
Grasshoppers are also called locusts. There are more than 600 kinds of locusts in China. In South China, a common food is big green grasshoppers growing in corn fields. We call them “tiger grasshoppers.” Catching grasshoppers is very important. It’s best to go in the morning when the dew is thick.
At this point, the grasshopper has water droplets on its wings and is a poor flyer. It’s not hard to catch them. When a grasshopper eats, its limbs and wings are removed and it can then be grilled or fried. It’s high in protein and crispy. Grasshoppers have good breeding prospects. The current market price is 25 yuan per kilogram.
Many rural people should have eaten cicadas. In summer, the larvae of cicadas will start to crawl out of the soil, climb up the tree trunk, and emerge from their shells to become cicadas at 3-5 am. Catching cicadas is easy. Wrap the cellophane around the trunk. When transparent glue falls, wait for cicada to climb up, take bucket to pick up line.
Cicada reproduction, those of you who know this should be very aware of how hot this thing is in some places. However, due to its long breeding cycle, the current breeding technology is not very mature, so there is still a great potential for development in terms of yield. It is good to make full use of woodlands and orchards for farming as a sideline.
We hear a lot about the cultivation of mealworms. It has been used as feed for poultry or aquaculture. But in fact, mealworms are also edible. The protein content is much higher than beef, lamb, eggs and other traditional animal proteins. It is easy to digest and absorb, and is known as the “king of insect proteins”.
Scorpions: Tail upturned scorpions sting and have been widely used as medicine since ancient times. Although scorpions are poisonous, they can also serve a great purpose. The venom of a scorpion evaporates after being stung. The toxin is useless when eaten in the stomach. Scorpions are also food insects used for breeding. Scorpion farming is also a mature farming industry.
