Can maggots be eaten raw? When it comes to maggots, people's first reaction is disgusting, but maggots are not harmful to people's health. On the contrary, maggots are rich in protein. Some people may ask, can maggots be eaten raw? Let's look at this problem.

Can maggots be eaten raw? 1 How do maggots form?

Maggots (reading, 1), Diptera larvae. Because the head and mouthparts are extremely degraded, they are called headless larvae.

Maggots, or maggots, are larvae of white flies.

Morphological characteristics:

Maggots are about two centimeters long. They are hatched by flies after laying eggs at 15℃~40℃ for several hours and walk by peristalsis.

Maggots are the pathogens of myiasis and the larvae of flies. Also known as meat worms and granulation.

Everyone has seen the mention of flies, but not everyone knows them in detail.

Modern science has found that maggots are rich in protein, which can be used as medicine or edible.

There are many kinds of flies, among which 1500 have been reported.

Life history:

Flies are completely abnormal insects, and their life history can be divided into several periods: eggs, larvae, pupae and adults.

Most kinds of female flies lay eggs, but some also produce larvae.

Larvae will become pupae in 3-4 days, and pupae will emerge as winged and flying adults.

Can maggots eat?

1, from the nutritional point of view, is edible.

From a nutritional point of view, maggots can be eaten because they are the "source" of "high protein".

2, from the point of view of disease, can't eat.

Because maggots are disgusting and disgusting, and they are not specially raised, they will carry a lot of pathogenic bacteria and toxins, which may cause physical diseases after eating, so they cannot be eaten.

Description:

"A very small amount" of "eating by mistake" should not be a big problem, because the human body has certain immunity and resistance to bacterial infection.

If the body is infected by germs and toxins, the first thing that is easy to suffer from is gastrointestinal diseases, such as vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, possible fever and acute inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract.

3. In terms of medicinal value, it is edible.

(1) to treat joint pain in children;

Soak in maggots, dry in the sun, grind into powder, add a little licorice powder, mix with rice paste, and make balls as big as five. Take five to seven pills each time, and the rice soup will be collected, which is very effective.

(2) Febrile dysentery and vomiting (caused by taking hot medicine):

Take dung maggots, wash them with running water, dry them in the sun, grind them into powder, and give them a rice soup of one yuan each time.

Can maggots be eaten raw? Maggots are edible.

Maggots are called headless larvae because their heads and mouthparts are extremely degraded. In particular, fly maggots are rich in nutrition and good in palatability. They contain a variety of amino acids and fatty acids, as well as a large number of vitamins and trace elements, which are high-quality sources of protein.

Flies are completely abnormal insects, and their life history can be divided into several periods: eggs, larvae, pupae and adults. Most kinds of female flies lay eggs, but some also produce larvae. Larvae becomes pupa after 3~4 days, and pupa emerges into winged adult.

The content of crude protein in fly maggot powder is as high as 56% ~ 63% (average 59.5%), fat 13%, ash 7% and sugar 3. 1%. As a kind of high protein feed, the nutritional level of fly maggot is comparable to that of the best imported Peruvian fish meal, which is 1.3 times that of bean cake and 1.9 times that of bone meal.

It contains crude protein 15% and crude fat 5.8%. It can not only be directly fed to conventional pigs, chickens, ducks and fish, but also be the best live bait for special animals such as shrimp, crab, eel, eel, American frog, bullfrog, seven-star fish, grouper and turtle.

Fly maggots are easy to cultivate, with low cost and short cycle. 2000 grams of feces can produce 500 grams of fly maggots. A fly cage of 1 m3 can produce about150g a day. With 10 fly cages in the upper, middle and lower layers, 20 ~ 25 kilograms of fresh maggots can be obtained every day.

The total cost of producing1000g fresh maggots is only 0. 14 yuan. Calculated by 4 kilograms of fresh maggots equivalent to 1000 grams of fish meal, it is only 30% of the price of fish meal. According to the experiment of Beijing Feed Research Institute, in the culture area of 18 square meter, the average daily output of fly maggots is 9.75 kg.

In this experiment, self-propagating and autotrophic fly maggot feed was used to feed chickens. 10% fly maggots were added to the feed, and 10% fish meal was added to the feed of the control group. As a result, the laying rate of the former increased by 20.3%, and the feed reward increased by 15.8%. Feeding piglets with100g fly maggot increased the weight gain by 7% and reduced the cost by 13.2% compared with feeding the same amount of Peruvian fish meal.

Can maggots be eaten raw? The mention of worms will make many people feel sick and want to vomit, and the larvae of such flies will make people feel uncomfortable in appearance. But some areas will eat insects, which makes many people feel incredible. In fact, this edible worm is called maggot, which contains trace elements and is very beneficial to human body after eating.

use value

The protein composition of fly maggots is about 60.53%, and there are all kinds of amino acids, including 8 essential amino acids and their histidine needed by human body. The essential amino acids account for 42. 14% of the total carbohydrate production, which completely exceeds the FAO/ WHO recommendation that high-quality protein essential amino acids should account for 40% of the total carbohydrate production. Protein, a fly maggot, is a high-quality resource in protein, because it is not as good as other high-quality animal proteins, and its nutritional content is even higher than other animal proteins.

The proportion of unsaturated fat in human body fat of fly maggots is very large, and its P/S value is obviously higher than that of meat foods such as cattle, sheep, chickens and pigs. Its fat rate will vary with seasons and concrete strength. The fat percentage of pupae and larvae is higher, which is 65438 09.2% and 27.3% respectively. In addition, fly maggots also carry a lot of glycogen, minerals, nutrients and vitamins. There are K 1370Mg, Na65.6mg, Ca 138mg, P683mg, Mgl94mg, Fe6.5mg, Zn 12.2mg, Cu2.5mg and Mn/kloc in every 100g fly maggot. Every 100g of fly maggot contains vitamin b2 165μg, VB2520μg, VE440μg and VD 10.45μg, and its processed products are completely edible.
