The main reason for the price hike of golden cicadas in recent years is still the decline in production and the increase in the number of people eating them.

According to news reports, the price of golden cicadas in Henan Province has soared to reach 0.7 yuan per unit, while a farmer may make a profit of several thousand yuan a night.

This can not help but let us think about why a golden cicada is so valuable, if the ratio of supply and demand changes, the most intuitive change is the price, it is understood that a cicada maximum life expectancy of up to 17 years, but from the time of leaving the carapace out of the wings of the time is only 10 days to 70 days or so in the carapace of the hibernation waiting for the opportunity to the golden cicadas, a lot of them are still out of the dinner table, has been on the table. Because the price of cicadas has been pretty good in recent years, there must be fewer wild-caught cicadas every year.

While I am a city-grown child, but when I was a child on vacation elders will take me back to my hometown, a summer vacation, the countryside will have a variety of strange insects, cicadas, also known as robin monkeys, summer nights, often by the robin monkeys screaming noisy sleep, the daytime elders will give us to catch some robin monkeys to play, usually catch the male, because the male will be screaming, female The fact is, the countryside is not very well off and not many people eat the monkeys.

So at the beginning of the cicada farmers are not many, mainly because the people who eat cicadas is not widespread, according to statistics, China's main Henan, Hubei, Shanghai, Beijing, Shandong, Guangdong and other places are more popular to eat cicadas, even as a Hubei, I still can not accept this "delicacy", no matter how the taste, may also be the The psychological implication is that I have divided it into the ranks of insects.

The cicada itself is rich in nutrients, it is rich in beneficial proteins, protein content of up to 70%, but also contains a variety of vitamins and trace elements, fat content of about 7%, because the unsaturated fatty acids account for about 77% of the fat content, and the prevention of cardiovascular disease.

So people who can accept the robin monkey as food is increasing day by day, and the number of wild and farmers did not increase, so it will further lead to the price of golden cicadas, good guy, I heard that the current golden cicadas are expensive to reach 0.8-1 yuan a money, my mother did not eat cicadas a few years ago, but was taken to the farmhouse by a friend to taste it, I can't say that I like it very much, but she said that the taste is actually acceptable.

In the past few years, people have been influenced by health and wellness and started to try a lot of food, and the catering industry will also seize these business opportunities. If the robin monkey is a big hit in a place, then the local chef will definitely be able to play with it more than the common people, what frying, stir-frying, cooking, deep-frying, smothering, slithering, simmering, and stewing, you just have to want to eat it, and you will definitely be able to do it.

That said, the price of golden cicadas is currently very high is only a temporary problem, as to whether it will continue to rise, this is an unknown, perhaps a sudden surge of farmers will lead to the price back down, perhaps more demand for the population will lead to the price rise again, can only say we will see!
