Can you still eat rice with rice weevils? How do we protect rice from insects?

The insects in the rice are relatively clean and free of viruses. As long as it is handled cleanly, it can be eaten normally. There is no need to throw away all the insects in a bag of rice, which will cause a lot of waste.

When buying rice, consumers should also pay attention to whether the product name, net content, manufacturer's name and address, production date and shelf life, quality grade, product standard number, etc. are indicated on the package. The aging phenomenon of rice is serious, the color of the aged rice becomes darker, the viscosity decreases, and the rice loses its original flavor. Therefore, we should take a closer look at the color of the rice grains.

Rice with gray powder or white ditches on the surface is aged rice. The older the rice, the more you eat. At the same time, pick up the rice and smell if it tastes normal.

If there is a musty smell, it means that it is aged rice. Check the rice grains for moth-eaten grains. If there are grains and insect carcasses that are eaten by bugs, it is also an indication that it is aged rice.

How to Prevent Rice Pests? First, put the purchased grain in the refrigerator and freeze it for four hours to freeze the eggs. Wash and dry empty plastic oil drums, place frozen grains in dry plastic oil drums, and close the lid so that flies do not enter.

Put 50 grams of liquor in the bottle without the lid, then put the bottle with the wine in the rice, the mouth of the bottle is higher than the rice flour, and seal the rice bag. Since the rice breathes weakly, there is less and less air. Volatile ethanol in wine has an insecticidal and bactericidal effect, so it protects against insects.

First put an appropriate amount of water in the pot, then take a dozen peppercorns, boil them with the water in the pot, then soak the cloth bag, take it out and dry. When loading rice, sew several small pockets with gauze, put some pepper, and put them on the lower, middle and upper parts of the rice, tie the mouth of the cloth bag tightly, and put it in a cool and ventilated place to avoid the rice from being infested.

Putting a little kombu in the rice can prevent the rice from getting moldy. But kombu should be taken out for 10 minutes or so every 10 days or so, and then put in rice. Kombu can be reused more than 20 times. It not only inhibits mold, but also prevents rice insects.

This kind of rice is not edible, and we must pay attention to drying it in daily life, pay attention to sealing and preservation, and do not put it in some humid places.

I don't think this kind of rice can be eaten, and the rice should be dried and stored in an airtight container so that there will be no worms.

You can't eat it, you have to deal with it when you encounter such rice, you can't eat it directly, and it's easy to bring harm to the body.

Basket and sieve method: In order to shorten the time of insect removal, after removing the insects on the surface, the insects in the rice can be screened out with a sieve made of bamboo or wicker. Finally, put it in a cool place for ventilation and drying to remove all kinds of insects in the rice noodles. 02

Sunbathing method: Find a day with sufficient sunshine, take out the rice to dry, the rice worms can't stand the high temperature and will naturally run away, pay attention to turning it over when drying to make the rice evenly heated. However, the rice that has been dried is relatively dry, so just put more water in it when cooking. 03

Zanthoxylum pepper insect preservation: 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.

04 Moisture absorption and preservation method of plant ash: at the bottom of the tank containing rice, 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 that is dried and blown through, and the rice cylinder cover is tight, and placed in a cool, dry and ventilated place, which can be stored for a long time. Fourth, kelp insect prevention preservation method:

Dried kelp has a strong ability to absorb moisture and has an insecticidal and mold-inhibiting effect. When preserving rice, rice and kelp are mixed in a ratio of 100:1, and the kelp is taken out for about 10 days to dry and dry thoroughly, and then put back into the rice, so that after repeating several times, rice mildew and insects can be prevented.

05Put a few cloves of garlic in the middle or at each end of the rice bag, or wrap some peppercorns in a cloth or paper and put them in a container for rice. Usually the jar or bucket where the rice is stored should be cleaned to prevent the pupa of the winter from hiding inside. Once the rice worms are found, the rice can be dried in a cool place to let the worms fly away or crawl out, and the rice with raw worms can be eaten after being dewormed.

Ways to remove rice weevils from rice:

Light and heat are a good way to drive away rice worms. Find a dustpan or other shallow edge of a large area of containers, the depth of the container is too deep to dry the rice insects can not climb out, pour the rice of the long worm into the container, spread into a uniform thin layer, in a sunny day, it is recommended to 9 o'clock in the morning to 10 o'clock in the morning or 4 o'clock in the afternoon to 5 o'clock in the time period of the rice exposure to the sun, after the heat, the rice worms will crawl out by themselves, and the process of drying should be turned over. Be careful not to expose the rice worms to the sun for too long when the sun is at its hottest, otherwise the sun may dry the rice worms in the rice pile and they will not be able to climb out on their own.

If the rice worms are not very serious, you can put the rice in the freezer compartment with the bag, and then take it out after 24 hours of freezing, at this time the worms 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.

1. Freezing method: Put the rice into the freezer of the refrigerator with the bag, and take it out after freezing for 24 hours, which will not affect the original taste of the rice.

2. Sieving method: use a sieve made of bamboo or wicker to screen out the rice insects on the surface of the rice, and then put them in a cool and ventilated place to dry, which can remove all kinds of insects in the rice.

3. Sichuan pepper method: put 20 to 30 peppercorns into the pot, add an appropriate amount of water to boil the fragrance of Sichuan peppercorns, turn off the heat, put the bag containing rice into the boiled pepper water and soak it out, take it out to dry, and then pour the rice into the pocket. Sichuan pepper is a natural antioxidant that not only has a special fragrance, but also has an insect repellent effect.

Wrap a bag of peppercorns in cotton cloth and bury them in rice.

Rice worms can still be eaten when they are raw, and generally the worms born in the rice are relatively clean rice worms, which are not harmful in themselves, as long as the rice worms are disposed of, and then the rice can be eaten normally. If the rice worms have been raw, but they are not serious, you can put the rice bag in the freezer of the refrigerator and freeze it for 24 hours before taking it out. Wait until the insects freeze to death and turn red and black, so that they can be easily picked out.

After the rice worm is born, many people like to expose the rice to the sun, which not only does not achieve the purpose of killing the rice worm, but will be counterproductive. Because after such exposure, the rice worms in the rice will definitely increase in a few days, and the taste of the exposed rice will be affected 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.

In fact, as long as the rice is stored properly, the rice will not give birth to rice worms, and the rice can be stored in the refrigerator, because the rice worms cannot survive in an environment below 13 degrees. Alternatively, you can put the rice in a sealed bottle or jar and store it in a cool, dry place.

1. Freeze the refrigerator for 24 hours and sieve the insect corpses. But be careful not to condense the rice. Condensation is susceptible to heat and mildew.

2. Fumigate with a large amount of aluminum phosphide, pay attention to safety.

3. Rice should not be exposed to the sun, exposure will affect the quality, and it can be dried to repel insects, but not thoroughly.
