Eating cicadas means eating monkeys that have just climbed out of the soil. Protein contained in cicada monkeys is not only protein, but also can't be compared with pure fried tofu. We should know that protein contained in monkeys contains many kinds of amino acids that are beneficial to our health, and only essential amino acids account for 46% of the total amino acids, so we can imagine how rich the nutritional value of monkeys is. Moreover, the nutritional value of cicada also includes its rich vitamins and inorganic salts.
Minerals such as calcium, phosphorus and iron, which are in great demand by human body, are quite abundant in cicadas. In addition, the high-quality oil content of cicada (15%) also greatly increases the nutritional value of cicada. These oils are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, which can lower our cholesterol and maintain the balance of blood pressure.
