Then some people can't help but wonder, what kind of unique charm does the mulberry cricket have, and can make people so fanatical about him?
In fact, the history of mulberry crickets in China is very long, in the ancient countryside, people often go to the wild to pick wild fruits, dig wild vegetables, and mulberry crickets are a kind of magical thing in people's mouths.
It is said that a long time ago, an old farmer found a very strange insect under the mulberry tree, and it had a hard shell on its body, and driven by curiosity, the old farmer brought this strange thing home.
After the old farmer brought it home, he tried to cook this thing, the old farmer roasted it on the fire, and after it was cooked, the old farmer was surprised to find this strange thing, it was full of aroma and tasted excellent, so from this moment, mulberry crickets became a delicacy that people vied to taste.

After some exploration, it was found that mulberry crickets mainly live in warm and humid environments, and especially like to parasitize mulberry trees.
The mulberry clam is an oval in shape, with a hard and shiny surface and a soft and fleshy interior. The color of mulberry crickets is usually dark brown or yellow-brown, and the length is about 1~3cm.
Since ancient times, mulberry crickets have been regarded as a rare delicacy, and they are usually roasted or fried over a fire before eating.

The real significance of mulberry crickets is not that it tastes excellent, but that mulberry crickets, as a kind of traditional Chinese medicine materials, are extremely precious and rare.
As early as ancient times, mulberry crickets have been used as medicines, which can be traced back to the "Shennong Materia Medica", which lists mulberry crickets as a top-grade medicinal material.
Since then, this small insect has been recorded in the medical classics of the Chinese dynasties, such as the famous medical scripture "Compendium of Materia Medica" in the mainland.
With the continuous development of traditional Chinese medicine, people have gradually recognized and utilized the medicinal value of mulberry crickets, and this understanding and utilization have become more and more profound.
In addition, some studies have also shown that some active ingredients in mulberry crickets are now not only the new darlings of the food industry, but also a potential stock for the development of anti-cancer drugs.

In recent years, with the increasing attention of people to traditional Chinese medicine, the market demand for mulberry crickets has also increased significantly, and its price has risen.
According to incomplete statistics, the price of mulberry crickets has risen to a high price of 200 yuan a catty. Because the growth environment of mulberry crickets has special requirements, and the collection of mulberry crickets is relatively difficult, there are still some counterfeit and shoddy phenomena in the market.

By studying the growth law and environmental needs of mulberry crickets, people have tried to simulate the natural growth conditions of mulberry crickets to improve the breeding efficiency.
