Soy sauce is a kind of condiment that we often use. Gourmet always prepares a lot of soy sauce at home, otherwise it is really a nerve-racking thing to find that there is no soy sauce at home when cooking. In order to avoid this, Gourmet Jun simply buys several bottles at home when he goes to the supermarket, and he can get a discount when he is lucky.

Moreover, soy sauce products, whether light or dark soy sauce or special braised soy sauce, are all consumables. When cooking, light soy sauce is needed to extract fresh soy sauce, and when stewing meat, dark soy sauce is more convenient. When we cook braised pork, it is especially fragrant. Even if you mix some cold dishes, you need to use soy sauce for seasoning, so soy sauce is consumed very quickly.

Soy sauce usually has a sealed mouth. Bottled soy sauce is very convenient to use. We just need to open the lid when using it and cover it after using it. If you use this kind of bagged soy sauce, you will also find a bottle to pour it in, and then cover it, which is also convenient to use. Soy sauce has been put in the bag all the time, which is not easy to preserve, and it is difficult to seal it, which is easy to deteriorate.

Soy sauce is a brewed condiment, which contains a lot of protein and some probiotics. If it is not properly sealed, probiotics will easily breed new colonies when exposed to the air, which looks disgusting, which is why the soy sauce bottles we sometimes use will be moldy. This kind of soy sauce has gone bad, so it is not recommended that you continue to use it. Let's change it to a new bottle.

Besides mildew and not properly sealing soy sauce, the biggest problem is that soy sauce will "grow bugs". How can soy sauce grow worms when it is good? When many people see it, the first reaction is whether the quality of this soy sauce is not up to standard, or whether the factory failed to meet the hygiene standards when producing soy sauce and mixed with eggs, which led to the growth of bugs in the newly bought soy sauce in a few days.

The picture is really disgusting, and the gourmet looks a little uncomfortable. However, if the problem is blamed on soy sauce manufacturers, then soy sauce is too wronged. In fact, this bug is the larva of a kind of sauce flax fly, which specializes in eating soy sauce. The bug was not in soy sauce from the beginning, but because many people neglected to cover it for a while after opening soy sauce, which gave this kind of sauce flax fly a chance.

Flaxseed flies not only like to eat soy sauce, but also like to produce larvae in it. It should be noted here that the flies with flax sauce are different from ordinary flies. When they breed, they skip the step of laying eggs. Instead, they take the lead in incubating eggs in their stomachs, and then produce their larvae in soy sauce when they have the opportunity, so that they can have enough protein sources.

The bugs we saw were not hatched with eggs in soy sauce, but because the lid was not properly covered, the flies gave birth to babies in it. Therefore, in order to avoid soy sauce being targeted by the sauce flax fly, everyone must pay attention to it when using it, or the soy sauce will only be unlucky if it goes bad.

In addition to soy sauce, bean paste and meat, which are equally rich in protein, are often targeted by the sauce flax flies, so we must keep our eyes open and pay attention to the preservation of these foods. Take as much as you want, and remember not to pour the inexhaustible soy sauce back into the bottle.
