This little white bug hatched from the egg of a fruit fly in a cherry. The eggs of fruit flies are so small that it is difficult to see with the naked eye. Drosophila usually lays eggs in cherries when they are almost ripe. After several days of incubation, they become white worms visible to the naked eye. White worms grow up and become flying fruit flies. In winter, the eggs of fruit flies overwinter in the soil, and fruit farmers can kill these eggs by spraying pesticides in the soil under cherry trees.

There are bugs in cherries, so you can eat them. The insect in cherry is the larva of Drosophila melanogaster, which contains protein, which is nontoxic and harmless. The cherry with bugs is not rotten, but it proves that it has no pesticides. If you can't accept it psychologically, you can take it down and eat it. Soak the fruit in salt water, alkaline water or vinegar for 10 minutes, then take it out and wash it.

How to choose cherries

Cherry with big head and full flesh will contain more juice; The shape is a regular D-shaped oblate circle, and the deeper the local pedicle of the fruit stalk, the sweeter the cherry. If there are wrinkles on the surface of the cherry, it means that the cherry is dehydrated and contains insufficient water.

Whether cherries are delicious or not can also be judged by color and closure. The darker the cherry, the sweeter it is; Purple cherry, the higher the maturity, the stronger the sweetness; The lighter the cherry, the more sour it will be. The darker the cherry color, the more anthocyanins it contains, and the cracked cherry may have Drosophila larvae. The freshness of cherry can be judged by its stalk. If the fruit stalk is hard and green, it means that the cherry is fresh.
