There are some videos that are popular on the Internet, that is, about soaking bayberry cherries or broccoli in the water for a period of time, there will be a layer of small bugs floating on the surface of the water, which makes people feel very disgusting, many people are afraid to eat these foods because of this video, in the end these videos are not true? Are there really bugs in there? Today we will unveil the mystery of bugs.
Are there really worms in these foods?
Yes, because bayberry and cherry belong to the little princess in the fruit, always delicate, growing in a very comfortable environment, but also the favorite food of fruit flies, those small bugs are the eggs of fruit flies. Adult worms are to lay eggs on the peel, suck the juice on the spot, first from the peel, and then slowly move towards the heart, because the fruit flies are very fond of the sweet and sour juice, and the fermented juice has a sweet and sour liquid, which has a better tendency. Foods like cherries, bayberry, peach plum apricots, and ripe rotten apples, including tomatoes, may contain fruit fly larvae.
The same is true of broccoli, but a different species of invaders, and the insects in broccoli are the larvae of a vegetable moth, which is green.
Do these eggs cause harm to the body?
No, these bugs are eaten fruits and vegetables to grow up, non-toxic and harmless, there is nothing bad about the body, these bugs are some protein, if you are big enough, you can also eat them as protein, so that eating some fruits and vegetables can also supplement protein. Even if the worm enters the stomach, it will not do anything to the body, but can only be digested by gastric juice and transformed into substances needed by the human body. If you really can't rest assured, you can use salt water to bubble, soak out the bugs to pour out the water and rinse it to eat, like broccoli, this vegetable, this is going to be cooked to eat, even if you want to make a salad, you have to blanch it with high temperature, so don't worry at all.
But some people have to say that they want to buy clean, there is no food that appears in this kind of insect, yes, avoid these kinds of on the line, but if you want to buy these kinds of completely clean, it is basically impossible, there are two ways to avoid it when planting, one is to use things to completely cover it, the second is to play a lot of pesticides, these two are not very realistic, so you can only buy back artificial deworming.
Now everyone pursues how healthy and how clean, first of all, completely clean things themselves may not necessarily be more nutritious, because too clean, although the treatment will remove all kinds of impurities, but will also skim off a part of the nutrients, such as purification is a kind of clean water we say, but it is less of some trace elements, just simple water. So, ah, this is an inevitable and widespread problem.
