Yangmei merchant: "Not playing pesticides is definitely a bit of a worm, if there are no insects in pesticides, it is not normal." ”
The reporter bought two kinds of bayberry, Dongkui and water chestnut, added the right amount of salt and water, less than three minutes, found that there are white worms drilling out of the bayberry, the longer the time, the more worms in the water, after soaking for 45 minutes, there are more than twenty small worms floating in the water.

Citizens have different opinions about the insects in Bayberry, where do these insects come from? Can the insect-free bayberry still be eaten?
Zhu Yi, associate professor of the College of Food Science and Nutritional Engineering of China Agricultural University: "This small white insect in the bayberry is actually the larvae of the fruit fly, when the bayberry is ripe, the fruit fly is attracted by the sweet taste of the bayberry, just lay eggs on the surface of the bayberry, the hatched larvae drill into the flesh, this insect is unnecessary to worry, because it was born to grow in the non-polluted environment of the bayberry, there will be no harmful pathogenic bacteria, in addition, after the insect eats into the stomach, It is impossible to 'camp', even if it is not chewed and swallowed, it will not survive in the environment of stomach acid. ”
It seems that such bayberry can be eaten, and experts also recommend that you soak it in light salt water before eating bayberry.
