Pomacea canaliculata, also known as apple snail, originally lived in the Amazon River in South America. Later, people found its meat crisp and sweet, so they introduced it to China. Therefore, this guy has extremely low requirements for water quality and is not picky about food. He eats rice, water chestnuts and animal carcasses, and his fertility is particularly strong. He laid almost 65,438+00,000 eggs at a time and occupied 65,438+in Guangdong and Guangxi in a short time.
Although Pomacea canaliculata is rampant everywhere, it is a delicacy for many people. Its protein content is about 15.4%, and it is a highly nutritious food. After washing, stir-fry some ginger slices and garlic seeds, add some oil and salt to taste, and then swallow. However, although this snail is delicious, it has many parasites. A snail can hide as many as 6000 parasites. More than 65,438+060 people were infected with Angiostrongylus cantonensis by eating snails. This is because the snail is not fully cooked, so everyone must wait until it is cooked.
However, in order to save costs, some vendors will also sell snails as snails. So how do we distinguish them? Generally speaking, the shell of Ampullaria gigantea is yellow, the meat of Ampullaria gigantea is yellow and white, and the shell and meat of Ampullaria gigantea are blue and brown. From the tail, the tail of Ampullaria gigas is short and flat, while the tail of Ampullaria gigas is long and sharp. Judging from the screw cover, the ampulla is flat and the ampulla is round, so friends must remember the above differences and won't be fooled next time!
Stir-fry the snail for a long time, otherwise I'm afraid there are parasites in his stomach. If your temperature reaches, there is no problem. Boiling water for about 15 minutes can kill parasites in snails. Generally, seafood like snails will have parasites. If disinfection is not thorough, it will easily lead to schistosomiasis and cause certain harm to human body.
