Why do people eat insects? What is the experience of having people around you who love to eat insect

I think it's normal, everyone's preferences are different.

Insects are divided into many categories, such as silkworm pupa, bee pupa, large cap worms, locusts, etc., all of which are eaten.

It's like some people like to eat braised stew and think it is fragrant, but some people will find it disgusting because they don't eat animal offal. Some people like to eat chicken heads and duck heads, and some people just feel that they don't dare to eat their heads and will feel very dirty.

For example, I think that the braised intestines and other internal organs have a taste, and I never eat them. But I like to eat silkworm pupae and bee pupa. Barbecue silkworm pupa or open-edge silkworm pupa is directly roasted and eaten, or cut from the middle, and then fried in oil, very crispy, very fragrant, very delicious.

And this kind of insects, like silkworm pupa bee pupa, have high nutritional value, and it is said that the protein content of a silkworm pupa is as high as several eggs.

I think as long as you can accept it yourself, and this insect is good for your health, then I don't think there is any problem.

Nowadays, there are many kinds of vegetables that people didn't know they could eat, but that doesn't mean they can't be eaten or have no nutritional value.

Now that the economy is developed, there are many types to choose from, as long as you eat in a regular restaurant, and you don't feel very uncomfortable after eating, you can. In fact, when you don't try something, you think that a certain insect may grow very scary, not good-looking, and you can't bear to eat it. But after you tasted it.

Just like the cicada pupae and bee pupae I have eaten, the taste is very delicious, and the second time it is very acceptable. It's like before my husband, when we went out to eat barbecue. I would order a roasted cicada chrysalis, but he didn't understand why he thought he was eating it.

But after I let him taste it, he was able to accept it and was more willing to eat it.

As we all know, today's society is full of strange things, and there are all kinds of people and everything.

And it is the curiosity of human beings that makes society continue to develop and human beings will make more progress. Some people are very bold, no matter what kind of insects, he dares to try to eat them, now let's discuss, why some people eat insects, I think there are no more than three reasons for eating insects.

The first point is that some insects taste very good, we all know that China is a big country of food, people from our ancestors love to eat, will eat, so this also makes us eat insects these scary creatures, some insects look very scary, but after the hands of a chef it becomes extremely delicious, and people don't care about its appearance. <>

The second point, we all know that the body of insects is generally rich in high protein, and some insects are rich in protein even more than dozens of times that of meat, it is because of its high protein, rich in a lot of nutrients, people will abandon its appearance, to eat it, I myself is like this, although I am very afraid of live insects, but also very fond of eating fried insects, especially fried grasshoppers, I think this is a great delicacy in the world. Not only is it super nutritious, but it also tastes super good.

The third point is that human beings are very curious animals, and when they encounter something or something they have not seen, they like to study it very much, and it is precisely because of this that someone has been the first person to eat insects, just like the first person who has the courage to eat crabs, after someone has tried it, the people behind it have flocked to it, and we know that many people have eaten insects, but most of them have eaten them once, so why, because of curiosity, because they have never tried to eat insects, so they will buy and taste them once, I think there are a lot of people who eat insects because of this.

We live on the earth, in a natural world, there are many, many species in nature, and there are many food chains in this huge nature, and the higher species will eat the lower species, which is the eternal principle of nature since ancient times.

Human beings were not a huge species in the past, and were often bullied by other species, human beings could only use stones as tools in the past, to put it bluntly, they used a lot of force to break the stone in half, and the stone would fall into a sharp edge, and then tie the sharp stone with a stick to make it look like a big knife, which was used to make **, to resist the invasion of fierce beasts.

Sometimes they don't have any species in very inhospitable places, or the species is very powerful, and they can't beat a group of them, they have no appetite**, they can only eat some small animals, and then insects become their meal, why, because insects have no resistance to them. So only eat these.

This is in the past, it used to be because there was no food ** to be forced to eat, now insect food has become a delicacy, into the mouths of thousands of households, and in the mouths of people's families are full of praise for this insect food. <>

Why is it so popular? Because these insects are rich in a lot of protein and a variety of nutrients, very nutritious to the human body, can promote human development, in the south of China, insect feast is very popular with people, especially delicious, if you go you don't taste, you will regret it very much, the first time you see this kind of thing sold on the street, you will feel disgusting, dare not taste, but you will know how late it is after you have tasted, of course, so popular with people** is also very expensive, a string of insects about 40 50 yuan, but you won't regret it after you buy it, go for it, insect feast.

Because it's delicious, the insects are fragrant and nutritious, don't eat it for nothing, hehe!

At the temple fair in Beijing, there are a lot of fried grasshoppers and fried scorpions, oops, that's called a delicious one. Pick up a string of fried grasshoppers, sprinkle some salt and pepper, sprinkle some pepper, take a big bite, oops, fragrant and crispy, every time I visit the temple fair, I come to a few strings, when there are foreigners next to them, they will stare wide-eyed, full of horror to watch, and then I will chew in front of them, ha, hungry to kill them!

In fact, Yunnan cuisine, there are a lot of insect dishes, Yunnan people say that insects are nutritious, specializing in eating insects, entry-level insect dishes, there are bamboo insects, bee pupa, bamboo insects look thin and long, section by section, brown and crispy, it seems to be nothing to taste in the mouth, but it is enjoyable to eat. There is also a dish, which seems to be called a bee, and brings up a big black meat worm, arms, legs, and heads, all of which are played well, and the limbs are plump waiting for you to eat, many people don't dare, but I dare, click a bite, it's delicious.

In fact, not only my country has the habit of eating insects, Thailand also has, I went to Thailand, I saw a lot of people pushing small carts on the street, selling insects, and when I stepped forward, all kinds of insects that could not be called were also placed there, and there were also grasshoppers, all of which were very delicious. Eating insects and drinking cold beer at the same time, that feeling is the supreme delicacy in the world!

Bugs are high-protein, high-nutrient substances, as long as you are not allergic to protein, you can eat, it is heard, there is iron, zinc, magnesium, calcium, pregnant women will eat it will be very good, it seems that I have never heard of infectious diseases in insects, but the problem of clean is not clean, which is also quite funny. And there is no breeding cost for insects, how good do you say it is for people to fend for themselves, let's eat, and help nature improve the environment, which is conducive to environmental protection!

I don't know if you know that among the world's resources, the earth borrows resources every year for the next year due to human overexploitation, which is equivalent to the resources we consume every year are not enough. So this is an excessive consumption of the earth's resources, and what does that mean, it means that we are borrowing their resources from our own children and grandchildren to consume.

You must know that the substance that human beings must live in is protein. Because human beings need them for normal physiological metabolism, but when we get them from ordinary food, they can no longer afford to meet my intake. The Earth's food production is far from keeping up with the growth rate of the population, and insects are our last resort to protein.

To get the same amount of protein, a serving of feed for insects is only one-eighth of that of cattle, which is very environmentally friendly. <>

And you know, insects are also very reproductive, and the growth cycle is short. Only to meet my constant consumption, and this is an environmentally friendly way.

Just like in Thailand, eating insects is a custom on their side, or it has formed an economic chain. Just like we eat beef here, they have a special insect restaurant for insects. The most famous restaurant is "Backyard Insects", which was the first restaurant to specialize in insects.

In the eyes of chefs or consumers, special food materials such as insects are similar to the first types we eat, and they are all protein-rich and nutritious foods, so the methods of processing ingredients are also similar, and they are also processed by frying, stir-frying, boiling, frying, and boiling juice.

And the chef's menu is the appetizer of the moso salad – long strips of white worms hidden under green lettuce leaves, prepared with salty Spanish ham, which is crisp and fragrant the moment you bite into it. And there are water worms trapped in the Italian Chaos - each chaos uses about 30 bugs to make a trap, but you should stop your imagination when eating, otherwise you may really not be able to eat. And they even added silkworms to their desserts.

Stir the silkworms directly into the cream to make a traditional Italian dessert - tiramisu, which makes every bite you eat as if with the fishy smell of silkworms. <>

In addition to foreign countries, there are also many places in China that eat insects, and the place that everyone is more familiar with is Yunnan. Because Yunnan has a tropical rainforest climate, there are many species of insects there, and there are many of them, because of the environment. Therefore, among the eighteen monsters in Yunnan, the presence of insects is also indispensable.

And not long ago, the scenic spot in Yunnan also held an insect eating competition, which contains not only bamboo insects, grasshoppers, but also water dragonflies, silkworm chrysalis and so on. And because edible insects have high protein content, low protein fiber, and nutrients that are easily absorbed by the human body, it is regarded as a good nutrition**.

There are so many types of insects that they eat a variety of different plants and even meat insects.

1. There are many kinds of insects, different forms, belonging to the arthropods in the invertebrates, and they are the most numerous animal groups on the earth, accounting for more than 50% of all biological species (including bacteria, fungi and viruses), and their traces are almost everywhere in the world.

2. Insects have a wide range of eating habits: they are divided into herbivorous - various leaf beetles and flower beetles; Carnivorous - step armor, tiger armor; Decaying - Yan Jia; Necmodal - burial armor; Fecal-feeding - dung beetle.

3. The lifestyles and living places are bound to be diverse, and the lifestyles and life instincts of some insects are of great research value. It can be said that from the end of the earth to the cape, from the mountains to the abyss, from the equator to the poles, from the ocean, rivers to the desert, from the grassland to the forest, from the field to the indoors, from the sky to the soil, insects are everywhere.

4. The larvae of insects will gradually become larger during the growth process, and the exoskeleton and ** on their surface will be swelled by the gradually larger body. Slowly, larvae"Coats"It begins to fall off, creating a new layer of larger, harder epidermis. The larvae undergo multiple metamorphoses before they grow into adults.

As a person who has been climbing over the wall and digging soil to catch shrimp and fish since she was a child, and often helps the little girl at the same table catch the bugs that scare her crying with her bare hands, eating bugs is really nothing!

I've eaten fried locusts before, but it actually tastes pretty good.

The first time I ate bugs on a large scale was two years ago.

The street stalls outside (that is, with the mentality that you must experience once in your life, you risk eating a bad stomach).

Actually, it looks like it's very appetizing! Everyone came the same at the time.,I don't remember exactly what it was.。。。 Anyway, it's all crispy, which is pretty good.

This one is probably a grasshopper.

Please help me identify. I think it's the cicada.

It's spicy mustard and ants, which is pretty good!

I don't remember anything else.,I have the impression that centipedes and cockroaches are still insects.,The others are just frogs.、Whole chickens and the like.,I didn't eat it.。。。

In fact, what I have been missing is this big black spider, the real taste is very good, much bigger than other insects, it is really crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the taste of high protein is very fragrant!

Dedicated a Filipino brother who was eating happily.

Ate several insects this year as well:

The grasshoppers at the street stalls were eaten a few times, and I felt that there was no delicious taste of Southeast Asia, and I didn't take pictures. I ordered a silkworm chrysalis in the restaurant, and it tasted good.

In fact, there is nothing terrible about insects, isn't it similar to other ingredients?

Cockroaches are a very annoying insect for many people, but did you know that they still have some medicinal uses. In addition to cockroaches, what other bugs can be used in medicine?

1.Cockroaches: Cockroaches also have their uses in traditional Chinese medicine and are believed to be used for diseases such as liver disease, cancer, and tuberculosis. They can be made into medicines like cockroach tinctures, cockroach pills, etc.

2.Scorpion: In traditional Chinese medicine, scorpion is also a common insect herb. Scorpions can be used for rheumatism, hepatitis and other diseases. In some areas, it is even edible.

Bugs have a long history in traditional medicine in China.

While using insect herbs, people should also respect life and protect the environment.
