The price of edible snails
Snails most often appear in French dinners, which makes people worry about the sky-high price of eating snails. Is eating snails expensive?
Snail production is not high, but there is a great demand for snails in some western countries. In the international market, the annual demand for snail products is over 400,000 tons, and the price of frozen snail meat in new york is equivalent to RMB 362.39 per kilogram. In some French restaurants, the price of a dish made of six snails can reach about $65,438+08, which is an expensive food that people only eat during festivals.
Fresh snails are not cheap either. In France, Spain and other places, the price of fresh snails is equivalent to RMB116.1/yuan per kilogram, which I believe is not always available to local residents.
On the contrary, snails in China are not very expensive. The domestic price of live snails is equivalent to RMB per kilogram 15 yuan, but ordinary people rarely buy them. Only some western restaurants or hotels buy them.
All kinds of edible snails.
When it comes to the problem of French eating snails, many people in China feel a little uncomfortable. In fact, the French don't eat all snails. There are only a few common snails that can be eaten, but not all the snails we usually see in the field can be eaten.
There are two main kinds of snails eaten by French people: French snails and spotted snails. In Europe, conch is also called conch. So there are edible conchs in the snail house. But the most commonly eaten are the types of Tofu Fruit Family, and the most common ones are the two mentioned above. Snails we eat in domestic restaurants are generally brown agate snails, which are native to Africa. At present, there are a large number of wild and cultured snails in China, with a lot of meat and low price, which is the same as snails.

What's more, snails may have parasites and germs in their bodies. We adults may have no problem eating some, but for babies with weak immunity, these are very dangerous. Try to eat less snails and snails.
