When eating field snails, you mainly eat the hard meat on the upper part of the snail mouth, which is more tough to eat. The soft and dark area near the tail is the area where excrement and internal organs are concentrated. Since this part contains some Harmful substances and parasites, so it is not recommended to eat these parts.
Precautions for eating snails:
1. When cooking snail meat, fry it for at least 20 minutes to prevent dysentery and parasitic infections.
2. The snails may contain parasites and must be heated to high temperatures before they can be eaten. However, snails are cold in nature, so patients with weak spleen and stomach are best not to eat them.
3. Field snails should not be eaten with winter melon, cantaloupe, fungus and sugar, nor should they be taken with the Chinese medicine Gecko and the Western medicine oxytetracycline.
