Commonly known as "noodle insects", there will also be insects in rice, as long as it is picked up before use, it will not affect the flour to eat, and the flour will not be insects when it is often cooled in a cool and ventilated place.

This is: book lice, which will eat all kinds of organic matter, usually more under bookcases, wardrobes, and carpets, and will eat paper books, cotton and linen fabrics, and will also eat food.

The insects in this flour are called weevils, and the reason why they appear is because the eggs of these insects have attached their secretions to the wheat during the harvesting of wheat.

Hello, flour worms are also called beetles.

Flour (wheat flour.

It is a staple food in most of northern China. There are many varieties of foods made from flour, with a variety of flavors. But flour is not well preserved and prone to insects, so how to preserve it without worms? Let's take a look.

There are two main ways for flour insects: 1. The eggs brought in the wheat are mixed into the flour when the flour is grinded, and will develop into adults when the temperature and humidity are suitable; 2. During storage, the seal is not tight, and it is contaminated by pests.

Cloth bag flour absorbs moisture, it is easy to get insects, it is best to use a plastic bag, be sure to tie the mouth tightly. Once the flour has insects, you can spread the noodles in a cool, dry and ventilated place to disperse the insects; If the flour is damp again, it can be exposed to the sun, mainly to dry the flour. Then the flour of the raw worms is divided into small plastic bags and placed in the refrigerator freezer for 10 hours, which can not only kill the adult worms, but also kill the eggs, and sieve out the dead worms after taking them out.

If there are small insects in the flour, two reasons can be considered, one is because the wheat raw material itself contains insect eggs or the presence of insect eggs in the equipment when the wheat is ground into flour, and the other important reason may be improper storage, and the flour is placed in a humid environment, which is also easy to make the flour grow worms.

It is possible that there are insect eggs in the raw wheat, which causes insects to grow after being powdered, and there are also insects when the flour is infected with eggs when it is stored.
