Myrica rubra has no shell, so its fragrance when it ripens attracts many uninvited guests. For example, Drosophila is one of them. Drosophila will lay its eggs in Myrica rubra, and when it ripens, these eggs will hatch white worms, which are, to put it bluntly, maggots. But these maggots are not the kind that is associated with nausea. Although they are similar in shape, they are harmless and have high nutritional value. Let's take a look at what worms are in Myrica rubra. Are Yang Meili's bugs harmful?

Are the worms in Myrica rubra maggots?

This is a fruit fly larva, which is white, soft and tiny. The smell of Myrica rubra attracts adults of Drosophila melanogaster, which lays eggs in the pulp of Myrica rubra. After hatching, the larvae feed on the pulp inside, and generally there are no insects on the outside. Once soaked in water, especially salt water, you will soon see many maggots (fruit fly larvae) emerge. Generally, it is in the pulp of Myrica rubra, and sometimes it comes out.

this kind of bug is harmless to human body. Many people here eat directly, because they can keep the most delicious taste of bayberry without soaking in water. And many old people say that it is high in protein and nutritious. And there are bugs, which means Yangmei didn't use pesticides. Some people still regard this bug as a treasure, thinking that it can improve people's resistance, so eating bayberry will not spoil their stomachs.

"Nye, an entomologist, said that fruit flies, like pork and beef, are high-protein foods that can be used as feed for small insects. In some parts of France, there are also pies made with fruit fly larvae as stuffing. As advanced as caviar. So if you overcome your psychological problems, you can eat boldly. If you really can't stand it, just take the salt water bubble and the bugs will come out.

It's normal for Yangmeili to have this kind of insect, because Yangmei has no peel. Once it is ripe, its sweetness and fruity taste will attract many insects. In the reporter's interview yesterday, many experts said that this fruit tree insect is not harmful, and there is no clinical proof that it is toxic, so people can rest assured to eat it.

A person from the Fruit Tree Division of the Planting Management Bureau of the Provincial Department of Agriculture reminded that citizens should soak fresh bayberry in high-concentration salt water as soon as possible after they go home, instead of putting it in the refrigerator first, because low temperature will lead to the death of insects, and the dead insects can't soak out even if they are put in salt water.

Myrica rubra is really delicious, but Myrica rubra worm is really disgusting. Myrica rubra is the child of fruit flies, and the child of dung flies (maggots) is a cousin. After eclosion, it is the little fruit flies flying around when you buy Myrica rubra. Myrica rubra has no skin protection, rich nutrition and plenty of water, so it attracts insects. There is no way to prevent it. Because it is non-toxic and harmless, it generally does not use insecticidal water or pesticides. If you buy fresh Myrica rubra without any insects, it will be bad. Maybe you have used pesticides. When Myrica rubra is fresh, there will be fewer insects. After you buy Myrica rubra, you should soak it in high-concentration salt water for 5-1 minutes in time, and the insects will be deprived of oxygen in it. One varies from zero to dozens, and should not be placed in the refrigerator first, because low temperature will lead to the death of insects, and dead insects can not be soaked even in salt water. Of course, if you think Myrica rubra is also a nutritious side food, you can eat it without washing it, because Myrica rubra is basically a fruit with a bad stomach, which is a little bad for your teeth at most. Just rinse your mouth after eating. ? In addition, Myrica rubra is a fruit with strong seasonality. People who like to eat it generally buy it, soak it in salt water and put it in a quick-freezing box for a while.
