Bayberry is delicious, but sometimes I worry about eating worms. In fact, bayberry bugs are not scary.

It is time for a large number of bayberry to go on the market, but recently many friends have said, "it takes courage to eat bayberry." Why is that? Because there are always a lot of bugs hidden in bayberry. Some netizens even joked that "Waxberry without bugs is soulless." Here I would like to talk to you about the problem of red bayberry.

Why are there bugs in bayberry?

There are many videos about white bugs soaking out of bayberry on the Internet, which makes some people feel uncomfortable. After all, this is the fruit they eat. It is really unpleasant to think that there are bugs in the fruit they eat.

In fact, this kind of white bug does exist in bayberry, which is actually the larva of fruit fly. Because the bayberry fruit will give off a special smell during ripening, this smell is very attractive to fruit flies. Fruit flies lay eggs on the surface of bayberry. Red bayberry itself has no peel. So after the fruit fly's eggs hatch, the larvae will drill into the bayberry and feed on the bayberry juice. When the larvae grow and mature, they will be white and black, drill out of the bayberry and turn into fruit flies and fly away.

This kind of small bug is actually quite common, because the prevention of fruit flies in bayberry orchards is relatively poor, coupled with the special smell of red bayberry, it is very easy to attract fruit flies, so this small white bug exists almost in many orchards. Eating this kind of bayberry worm is not harmful to the body, because the larvae of this kind of fruit fly grow in bayberry from the very beginning, so it is almost uncontaminated, so it does not contain germs, and it is a very high-quality protein.

However, eating bugs still has some psychological grievances for many people, but some small methods can be used to remove insects from red bayberry. Friends who like to eat red bayberry can add salt with cold boiled water and put the fresh bayberry into the water. Soak for a period of time, the worm will be forced out. Remember not to put it in the refrigerator, or the bugs won't get out, because it's frozen to death.

In fact, with the continuous improvement of planting technology and management means in recent years, bayberry orchards in many places have adopted pollution-free and high-quality planting methods, and many orchards have been able to achieve insect-free planting. Friends who are afraid of eating insects buy this kind of harmless insect-free bayberry.

The above comes from the original creation of promoting agriculture through science.
