Pregnant women are not allowed to eat grasshoppers. The so-called grasshopper is not a dish cooked with grasshoppers as everyone imagined, but a common wild vegetable in the field, also called purslane.

Although grasshoppers are rich in nutrients such as dihydroxyethylamine, malic acid, glucose, calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin E, carotene, vitamin B and vitamin C, they are not recommended to be eaten during pregnancy. Because the substance contained in grasshoppers can stimulate uterine smooth muscle, it is easy to have contractions. Eating grasshoppers after pregnancy will increase the risk of miscarriage and threatened abortion, and eating grasshoppers in the second trimester will lead to premature delivery. Moreover, grasshoppers are cold food, and eating them during pregnancy is harmful to the health, so you can't eat grasshoppers during pregnancy.
