Cicada is a delicious food for children in rural areas. As soon as it gets dark, people who like cicadas have gone out with flashlights. There are many pear trees planted here, so at night, the most lively place is the pear tree field. In order to prevent cicadas from climbing to the treetops, people will wrap a layer of adhesive tape on the trunk one meter above the ground, so it is much more convenient to catch cicadas. Cicada monkeys eat very simply and rudely. The cicada monkey caught the night before was soaked in salt water all night, and it was directly fried when cooking the next morning. The fried cicada monkey is tender and delicious.
Cicada monkeys are not only loved by rural people, but also by urban people, so more and more vendors come to the countryside to buy cicada monkeys. Cicadas and monkeys are usually sold by publishing houses. At the most expensive time, they can only sell for 3 yuan, so catching cicadas and monkeys has become a good opportunity for many people to increase their income in summer.
Although eating cicada monkeys is a common thing for us, there are always people who doubt whether eating cicada monkeys is harmful to our health, especially under special circumstances. After all, cicada monkeys are wild insects and are likely to carry germs. So is it harmful to eat cicada monkeys?
In fact, eating cicadas is not harmful to the human body. Cicada is rich in high protein, and the content of protein is three times that of beef and five times that of eggs. Therefore, there is a saying in the countryside that eating one cicada tops five eggs. Cicadas are high in protein and fat, but don't worry, cicadas are smaller and more expensive, so people won't eat too many cicadas.
Although monkeys are wild insects, they are likely to carry germs, but many germs are most afraid of high temperature environment. As we all know, cicada monkeys eat in a single way, except frying, so when frying cicada monkeys, the high oil temperature is enough to kill the germs on cicada monkeys. However, it should be noted that cicadas contain heterologous proteins, although they are not toxic, but for people with allergies, eating cicadas is easy to be allergic and should be eaten carefully.
It's cicada eating season again, and cicadas are particularly seasonal. It usually takes 30-40 days to eat cicadas. Although cicada monkeys are delicious and high in protein, people with allergies should be cautious.
