Can eat, prunes inside the white bugs are fruit fly larvae, can also be said to be a kind of "maggot", but as long as people always throw out the established impression, in fact, not only the bug is not dirty, there is no harm, and even a good nutritional supplements, which contains some rare antimicrobial peptides. First of all, we have to break the established impression of the "fly", prunes on the fruit fly larvae and our general sense of the fly is not the same thing. The fruit fly itself is a relatively clean insect, and many of them still feed on fungi, sap or nectar, not unlike the fly, which is a "dirty" insect that eats, spits and defecates mainly on human or animal feces.

And the white larvae of the fruit fly basically come out of the egg and hide directly in the fruit of the prune, so they are theoretically cleaner, even a little cleaner than the prunes themselves, which are hanging on the tree in the wind and rain. And these white larvae themselves because of the development needs, their high quality protein and all kinds of nutrients content is very high, before they do not change color and crawl out of the prune fruit, they are also the most tender prune flesh to feed on. Then this kind of itself is relatively clean, and itself is high protein and high nutrition, eat the food is still very healthy and fresh little white worm, naturally also can eat, just need to cross the psychological that hurdle.

Fruit flies like to stay in those rotten fruit inside, but the larvae are different, parents, always want to let the child eat well, so they chose to let the larvae in the development of the fruit to survive, why will choose to grow in the prunes? Because prunes are not protected by a solid shell, they are easy to be attacked and get into the flesh. Since we humans can consume prunes, it's the same for those bugs, and fruits with the same lack of shell protection as prunes can be targeted by this fruit fly.

The fruit flies present in the prunes are just larvae, and you may wonder why pesticides are not used to fight them. This is also a hardship for the farmers, and hitting them makes them difficult to consume. For the same reason, there are many holes on the surface of the prunes, and pesticide intake will affect the listing. Even if you hit them in advance, the amount of residue left inside will still be very large in the ripening season, and it will be very difficult to wash them clean after many rainfalls. When you buy prunes with a lot of bugs, it means that these fruits are clean.

To really can't eat, I'm afraid there are a lot of people trapped, fruit fly larvae is very clean, because it takes the prunes as a home, in the flesh of the prunes to grow, and there is no contact with the outside world of some of the dirty things, but this is said to be only the larvae, if it is the fruit fly adult, that can not be eaten at will. These larvae eaten into the stomach, simply can not pass the stomach this pass, under the action of stomach acid, fruit fly larvae will soon be eliminated as much as possible. Compared to those pesticides and fewer insects prunes, the original prunes are actually more pure, if you eat bad stomach, it may be that you eat down too many prunes. The plums are also so awesome in flavor that many people use them in wine or make sauces, which is exactly why they are targeted by some bugs.

These tiny bugs can't stop people from loving prunes, and when you wash them, the fruit fly larvae can't be washed away, and they go into your stomach with the prunes. In fact, there is no need to panic at all, there are fruit fly larvae is too normal, this is harmless to the human body, because it is very clean, and easy to be digested, if you care about this problem, you can also use salt water to force the bugs out, and then consume it, as for whether it will affect the taste, it depends on the size of the concentration of salt water.
