A cicada is a cicada when it grows up and sheds its shell. They know that monkeys are nymphs of cicadas, not real pupae. Cicadas start from the nymph stage. After molting again and again, young cicadas will eventually climb out of the earth and become cicadas. It doesn't go through the pupa stage, but some people will call it cicada or silkworm pupa cicada. Cicada is a cicada after molting, which is another state of cicada. Generally, silkworm chrysalis is called cicada chrysalis in some places, and there is no distinction.

Silkworm pupae generally refer to pupae worms that become in cocoons after silkworms spin silk for cocoons. Silkworm pupa is not only delicious and nutritious, but also a valuable source of animal protein and a raw material for extracting many chemicals.

Protein contained in silkworm chrysalis is easy to hydrolyze, which is similar to human protein, and the absorption rate of human body is about 90%. Therefore, eating silkworm chrysalis can not only supplement fat, protein and vitamins, but also increase the vitality of brain cells and improve thinking ability. Silkworm pupa is rich in chitin, and its extract is called chitosan. In America, Japan and other places, it has been used as a new food additive. Silkworm pupa is suitable for a variety of cooking methods, such as boiling, frying, frying and frying. Common dishes include crispy silkworm chrysalis, boiled silkworm chrysalis, stewed silkworm chrysalis and cumin silkworm chrysalis. But whatever you do, you must fully heat it before eating, and then boil it before cooking.
