What else will give birth to rice worms besides what you eat?

In addition to eating things that can give birth to rice worms, there are many things like tea leaves and orange peels.

The seeds of Chinese medicinal materials and some plants will give birth to rice worms if they are damp or covered.

In the hot summer months, small black insects called rice elephants often appear in grains and grain products such as rice and flour (pictured). The rice elephant lays eggs on the grain, and after hatching, the larvae burrow into the rice grains, and only leave the rice grains after becoming adults, which is the small black worm you see. Rice elephants prefer hot and humid environments, and will sleep when the temperature is below 18 degrees Celsius, and will begin to die when the temperature is above 45 degrees.

It is difficult to survive if the relative humidity of the environment is lower than 40% or the moisture content of the grain is less than 12%, so as long as the grain is dry enough, there will be no rice elephants. A grain of rice can make a rice elephant spend its life, and it can't live for half a month without food. Rice elephants are not afraid of garlic, peppers, spices and other so-called anti-food deterioration artifacts, sensitive to carbon dioxide, and filling the grain with carbon dioxide can completely eliminate rice elephants.

Rice worms only have rice worms in the grain, and other things will not give birth to rice worms.

The main host of rice worms is corn, rice, wheat, sorghum, flour, and other stored grains, and there are many families with wooden floors.

Rice seedlings, corn, wheat, sorghum, flour and other grains.

In addition to food, there are also leather clothes. Woolen sweaters and other things will give birth to rice worms.

Rice worms will only appear in rice, and will not appear in other foods, for example, if it is bread, then it will only have bread, and there will never be the so-called rice worms, because rice worms are only born in rice.

, black soil, musty towels from tree roots.

Moreover, the rice worm not only likes to eat rice but also likes to eat cereals, potatoes, dried fruits and even medicinal herbs, and it has a wide range of eating habits.

1. There are generally two kinds of rice insects.

One is the white bug, also known as the rice bug.

One is the small black bug, the little black bug is also called the rice elephant.

Second, rice that has no insects and mold can be eaten.

Reason: The starch content in rice is high, and secondly, it also contains high protein, if the rice has not been wormed for a long time, the rice is edible if it does not appear moldy and long. Because the rice worms mainly feed on water and the starch in the rice, the insects themselves are not toxic, and the rice worms in the rice need to be washed with water before boiling the rice.

Solution to rice raw bugs:

Freeze in the refrigerator for 24 hours

If the insects are not serious, you can put the rice in the freezer with the bag, and then take it out after 24 hours of freezing, at this time the insects are frozen to death and turn red and black, which is easy to pick up, and will not affect the original taste of the rice.

Place in a cool place to dry

After the rice is insect, people often like to expose the rice to the sun, which not only fails to achieve the purpose of killing the rice worms, but will be counterproductive, because after two or three days, the rice worms in the rice will increase unabated, and the exposed rice will affect the taste due to the loss of moisture. The correct way to do this is to put the raw worm rice in a cool and ventilated place, let the worms crawl out slowly, and then sift it again.

Poxylum pepper insect preservation

Sichuan pepper is a natural antioxidant, not only has a special fragrance, but also has an insect repellent effect. The method of use is as follows: put 20 to 30 peppercorns into the pot, add an appropriate amount of water (it is better to soak the rice pocket), put it on the stove to cook the fragrance of peppercorns, turn off the heat at the back end of the pot, put the bag containing rice into the boiled pepper water, soak it in, take it out to dry, and then pour the rice into the pocket.

In this way, rice insects can be effectively prevented.

Put kelp in the rice

In summer, rice is very susceptible to insects, and kelp can be used to prevent moths if you put it in the rice. Generally, 1 kilogram of kelp is enough to add 100 kilograms of rice. It has been proven that after one week, it can reduce the various fungi in the rice by 60% to 80%, and can also absorb 3% of the water in the rice.

Dry the kelp once a week for 15 minutes before putting it in so that there are no moths. One serving of kelp can be reused more than 15 times.

Of course the rice can be eaten, find out the rice worms and throw them away, it is recommended that the weather is hot and the rice is less to buy, the temperature is high and it is easy to grow worms!

It's okay, I often have it in my family.

The picture is supposed to be a pupal of the rice moth.

If there are insects in the rice, it means that it has been put for too long and has been damp, and the rice at this time will also deteriorate a little bit, you can smell it carefully, and the taste of new rice is different. Therefore, it is recommended not to consume it.

If there is too much left and you are reluctant to throw it away, you can also spread out all the rice and take it to the sun to expose to the sun, so that the insects will crawl out, pick out one by one, and throw away the rice that has been stuck into strings, and wash the remaining rice several times when eating.

Looking at the insects crawling around in the rice bucket makes people's scalps tingle. The rice worm is actually the borer in the rice, the scientific name is the rice elephant, and we also call it the weevil. So why do insects grow in rice?

There are generally two reasons for the presence of rice worms in rice: one is that when the grain is still in the field, it carries the eggs of the rice worms. After being processed by the grain factory, it still sticks to some of the rice.

And the eggs are so small that they are not visible to the human eye at all. The eggs hatch into small insects in the summer heat, and there is its favorite rice around, so it eats a lot and reproduces quickly. Another reason is that every household buys rice every year and grows insects every year.

Some insect eggs are hidden in the bottom of the rice tank, the cracks of the rice bags, the cracks in the walls, and the cracks in the ground, and it is difficult for people to remove them one by one.

Ways to prevent rice worms:

1. Oxygen-free preservation method: first spread out and dry the rice to be stored in a ventilated place (note that it should not be exposed to the sun) thoroughly, and then put the rice into a non-toxic (food) plastic bag with less air permeability (it should be full), tie the bag tightly, and put it in a cool and dry place, so that the rice can be stored for a long time.

2. Zanthoxylum pepper insect prevention preservation method: Zanthoxylum pepper is a natural antioxidant, with a special fragrance and insect repellent effect. The specific method is to put 20 to 30 peppercorns in the pot, add an appropriate amount of water (it is advisable to soak the rice pocket), put it on the stove fire to cook the fragrance of peppercorns, and then remove the pot from the fire, put the rice bag into the pepper water and take it out to dry, and then pour the rice into the pocket.

In addition, wrap a few small packets of peppercorns with gauze, put them on the top, middle and bottom of the rice bag, tie the bag tightly, and put the rice bag in a cool and ventilated place to prevent rice insects.

3. Moisture absorption and preservation method of plant ash: at the bottom of the rice tank, spread a layer of plant ash (it is best to put the plant ash in a gauze bag and put it at the bottom of the tank), and then pour in the rice to dry and blow through, and put the rice cylinder cover tightly, and place it in a cool, dry and ventilated place, which can be stored for a long time.

4. Kelp insect prevention and preservation method: Dried kelp has a strong ability to absorb moisture and has the effect of killing insects and inhibiting mold. When storing rice, mix rice and kelp in a ratio of 100:1, take out the kelp and dry it thoroughly after about 10 days, and then put it back into the rice, so that after repeating it several times, it can prevent rice mildew and insects.

There is stale grain in the rice grains, or the temperature and humidity of the storage space of the rice raider are high, resulting in the rice will grow rice worms.

Rice worms are the main pests of grain storage, mainly parasitic in old grains stored for 2 3 years, such as corn, rice, wheat, sorghum and flour and other grains, its adults gnaw on grain grains, and the larvae eat inside the grain. Due to its rapid growth and reproduction rate, it is very harmful, and its geographical distribution can spread all over the world, while in China, it is mainly distributed in the south.

When the temperature is higher, the reproduction is faster, and the adult worm has feigned death. It has the characteristics of clustering, moisture-loving, negative phototaxis, etc., and has strong fecundity. Life likes high temperatures, and the optimal temperature is 30 -33°C.

If the rice is to have insects, you can put the rice in a plastic bag and seal it, preferably with two layers of plastic bags (to prevent moisture from entering), and then put it in the refrigerator and freeze it for 24 hours, and take it out for consumption. Every month or so, the rice is frozen again in this way until it is finished. In this way, the rice will not have worms.

Rice is easy to keep for a long time.

bai raw borer, du should be eaten and bought as you go. After the rice is bought, it should be loaded into a rice bucket (cylinder) and placed in a rice bucket.

Put the upper volume inside. Four to five packets of peppercorns (10 grams of peppercorns per pack, and the bags are made of gauze), which can prevent moths; You can also put a clean wine bottle in the rice barrel, the mouth of the wine bottle is higher than the rice noodles, and the bottle is filled with 100 grams of liquor, which can also prevent moths; If you put some quicklime at the bottom of the rice bucket (the quicklime can be covered with a plastic sheet to separate the rice from the quicklime), or if you mix some garlic cloves in the rice, you can prevent moths. Regardless of the above method, the lid of the rice bucket must be tightly closed.
