Fried cicada

Let me introduce cicada, which is what we call cicada nymph. Its edible value and medicinal value are very high, especially the newly unearthed nymph has the highest content in protein, and its protein content is 58.58%, which is 3.5 times that of lean beef (including protein 2.2%), 4.3 times that of lean pork (16.7%), 3.8 times that of sheep hind leg meat (18.7%) and 3 times that of chicken (23.3$). It is a good nutrient. The fat content is only 1.32%, the total potassium content is .3%, the total phosphorus content is .58%, the calcium content is 16.5 mg/kg, and the zinc content is 82.2 mg/kg. Many high-end hotels have put cicadas on the table. As a health food, the price is getting higher and higher, and it is a rare game delicacy with high protein and low fat.

besides the edible value, cicada monkeys also have extremely high medicinal value. According to China Pharmacology, cicada nymphs are beneficial to strengthening yang, quenching thirst, promoting fluid production, protecting lung and kidney, resisting bacteria and lowering blood pressure, treating baldness and inhibiting cancer, etc. Cicada is rich in chitin, isoflavones pterin, rhodopterin and adenosine triphosphatase, and has the functions of dispelling wind, dissipating heat, penetrating rash, removing nebula and so on.
