China, as an ancient civilization, has formed many traditional festivals in the precipitation of more than 2, years of history and culture, among which the insect-eating festival of ethnic minorities in Yunnan and Guizhou has surprised many people. Today, Xiaobian will talk to you about the custom of eating insects by these ethnic minorities. What is the so-called? No worm, no feast? In their opinion, eating bugs is very normal and it is a very grand thing. Let's take a look at it with Xiaobian.

there's a Dai saying:? Everything green is a vegetable, and everything moving is meat? Therefore, fried grasshoppers, fried silkworm chrysalis, fried cicada chrysalis, sweet fried butterfly chrysalis and many other insects are delicious dishes in Dai people's dishes. Not only that, but this ethnic minority also has an annual? Insect eating festival? , also known as folk? Grasshopper catching festival? . There is also an allusion to this festival. It is said that in a certain year in ancient times, a large number of locusts were born in the fields, which triggered a locust plague. In order to eliminate the locust plague, people went to the fields to catch locusts one after another. Some of them joked:? Fry the caught locusts so that they can't do anything anymore. ? So people took home fried locusts one after another. Unexpectedly, the fried locusts tasted very crisp and delicious. Since then, people will catch grasshoppers and fry them every year, and try to eat other insects. Acid ants, flower spiders, ant eggs, sand pupae and bamboo pupae are all delicious on their plates.

Actually, insect eating occurs in many places in China, not only in the ethnic minorities in Yunnan and Guizhou. Grasshoppers, silkworm chrysalis and cicada chrysalis are also eaten in the north. In many places, insects will be dried or frozen for consumption in winter. Moreover, these delicious foods can be taken to the elegant hall and entered the banquet of high-end hotels.

In fact, insects have high nutritional value and are rich in high protein. Insect protein fiber is very little, which is easily absorbed by human body. It is a nutritious food suitable for all ages and can supplement the protein needed by human body. But before eating insects, you must clean them and heat them fully. After all, some insects still carry bacteria. The above is just a small personal opinion, welcome to comment.
