Seasonal fruit meets "bugs" Do you get rid of white worms in bayberry?

It was a good season for Yangmei to eat. Sweet and sour bayberry was unstoppable. However, it is said that Yangmei’s soaking in salt water will cause many small white bugs.

Many netizens have verified through experiments that Yang Mei is indeed likely to be worms. After a bubble of salt, dozens of small white bugs swam out. There are netizens joke: "Each bayberry has insects, take salt water for half an hour to see their delicate body. Such worms are rich in nutrients the body needs, so some children like to eat plum is very fat ."

What are these insects? Is there any problem with eating?

After reading this, a friend who loves Yangmei may have to collapse. Is it so delicious and juicy that the fruit is actually a CP? ! Then the question came again: What are these white bugs? Did you eat these bugs to endanger your health? Why can't the refrigerated bayberry be bugged? Are there insects that show less pesticide?

What are these white insects?

According to experts, the white bug in Yangmei is actually a larva of Drosophila. It is close to flies, but not flies. It is a kind of flies that live on mature fruits and may appear on various mature fruits. However, bayberry is its favorite thing, so generally ripe bayberry has fruit flies.

Fruit flies usually feed on honey, fruits, etc. They are relatively clean. In the season of its breeding, it will be attracted by the scent of red bayberry. It will lay eggs on the surface of bayberry. Its eggs will be hatched into larvae and then drilled into the flesh to feed on the flesh. If it grows naturally, it will wait until the larvae have matured and become flies.

2. Did the larvae eaten harmful to the human body?

Eating larvae on red bayberry is unlikely to make people sick, and even supplement some proteins. However, it is worth noting that the flies in white larvae are harmless, but when it matures and becomes black bugs, it is harmful to the human body.

However, if you do not want to eat worms, you need to be careful. Before you eat red bayberry, it is best to soak in salt water for a while. When the various larvae climb out of the fruit and float on the water, the fruit will be removed from the animal protein. . The bayberry with clear water can hardly push out the “white bug”.

3, Why does the refrigerated bayberry not bug?

The suitable temperature for Drosophila larvae is around 25°C. In cold storage at 2-5°C, the larvae will lose their activity and even die. Therefore, good cold-chain conservation can indeed reduce larvae breeding. If you start from the red bayberry has a strict cold chain delivery, then this bayberry can almost eliminate worms.

4, there are insects that pesticides less?

I believe we all have heard this saying: “If there are larvae, it proves that no pesticides have been hit or played very little.” This in turn leads to another misconception: Every bubble is healthy, no bugs All of them sprayed the tree or picked the medicine.

In fact, Drosophila is mainly related to time and seasons, from the unreadable eggs to larvae to adults. The stale flesh is certainly more prone to worms. In addition, the origin of red bayberry in May and June in Zhejiang is more rainy. It has experienced Meimei's bayberry and it is easy to grow worms due to moisture. According to the rumors of Yangmei, Yangmei growers in Chengdu, where they are producing, have picked on the spot and did not soak up bugs. Because the average temperature in Sichuan is relatively stable throughout the year and the overall temperature is higher than that of Zhejiang. Therefore, Yangmei is half a month earlier than Zhejiang, and it is not easy to be worms, and it is easier to preserve.

If you want to be absolutely fresh and healthy, it is best to eat red bayberry and pick it up while you are eating. First, as Yangmei is inconvenient to transport, the bayberry that is sold on the market is more or less broken during transportation. Second, the mature bayberry can not be stored for a long time, it should be eaten as soon as possible after it is removed, and the market is broken. Bayberry is more likely to breed fruit fly larvae.

5, clean water, salt water, alcohol, which is the best cleaning bayberry?

Water immersion has no effect; soaking with salt water for 15 minutes is the best, not only can remove dust on the bayberry, but also keep it fresh; soaking with white wine, the worms drilled fast, but the taste of wine was rather awkward.

6, only Yangmei "white bug" it?

Not only do bayberry have fruit fly larvae. In seasonal fruits, mulberries and cherries may be spotted by fruit flies.

Although these fruits do have some “white worms”, they do not need to be overly nervous. As long as they are properly cleaned, the delicious fruit can still be a dish! (Source: Beijing Time Life Channel)
