The weather is hot and humid, can you still eat rice noodles with worms?

The rice and millet we eat, as well as various beans and white flour and other grains, are more likely to breed some insects in such a humid space. Therefore, before the rainy season comes, it is best not to leave too much rice and noodles at home, so as not to get insects because of the wet season.

What should I do if the rice flour grows insects due to moisture? Is it that you can't eat rice noodles like this? In the summer, I do see people throwing away the white flour or other grains that have worms in their homes, and some of them throw half a bag into the trash.

There were pigs and chickens in the house, and they all went to the garbage bin to pick them up. Some people think that as long as there are insects in the rice noodles, they can't eat them, but in fact, this is really a huge waste, even if there are some small insects in the rice noodles, there is a way to isolate these insects, and the rest of the rice noodles can still be eaten.

Modern life is much more convenient, in the summer can put rice or cereals in the refrigerator, can also be packed in sealed bottles. But in the past, without these conditions, whether it was white flour or cornmeal, it could only be served in a dough jar. I remember that at that time, every year in the summer, whether it was cornmeal or white flour, there would be insects, and after the insects were born, the noodles would look like they would stick together.

At this time, my mother would go to the neighbor's house to borrow a sieve, which we call it in the local language, and when I took it home, I would scoop the noodles into the sieve one by one, and then sift them with two hands. The noodles are sifted down, and the insects are left on the sieve, and the noodles are dried in the sun, and then eaten.

People in the countryside know that flour can be dried, but if the rice and millet have worms, it cannot be dried in the sun. We rural people say that if the rice and millet are dried in the sun, they will be powdered, that is to say, after drying, there is no original rice flavor, and the taste of the rice has completely changed. In case a large rice millet has worms, it can only be poured in a cool and ventilated place to let the bugs run out naturally.

Then put it back into the bag and put it on the kang head. In the past, the bungalows where rural people lived were all damp all around, only the kang head was hot, and it was hot in five winters and six summers, and it was not easy to get damp when the rice was placed on the kang head. In any case, people in the past were reluctant to throw away the rice noodles that had worms, and no matter what they tried to do, they could still eat them.

There are many ways to avoid insects on the rice noodles in summer, the rice cannot be dried in the sun, you can put the rice in a plastic bucket, and then seal the mouth of the plastic bucket, so that the moisture cannot enter. I remember one year I put rice in a plastic bucket and sealed it for two years without a single bug. Some people also say that you can put Sichuan pepper in the rice, and the pungent smell of Sichuan pepper is not easy to produce insects, but I haven't tried this method.

White flour is easier to preserve, at most it can be left to dry in the sun on time.

I think that whether it is rice or noodles, you can't eat these foods anymore if you have worms, because once you have worms, it means that the inside of these rice and noodles has deteriorated, and if you eat them again, it will be harmful to people's health.

In fact, if the rice noodles have worms, you can still continue to eat them, as long as the rice noodles do not appear to deteriorate and mold, there is no problem. It's just that the rice noodles with insects are more laborious when picking out the insects, and you still need to be very careful.

When eating rice, you can clean the insects in the rice, and the insects in the noodles can be picked out and exposed to the sun when you eat the rice.

If the rice noodles are insected, it is better not to taste good. Because it will not be cleaned, there will be insect eggs inside, and it is easy to cause diarrhea if eaten.

1. Bottled to prevent rice insects.

Eating method: Before eating, take an appropriate amount of rice noodles and soak them in cold or warm water for about 5-10 minutes (the soaking time can be increased or decreased according to the hot and cold weather) until it becomes large and white. When eating, it can be made into noodle soup, with chicken, duck broth or bone broth, put in the soaked rice noodles and boil until soft, and simmer for 2 minutes.

It can be eaten, and if you like to eat softer, you can cook it for a while. It can also be made into fried noodles, mixed noodles, and hot pot when eaten hot. This rice noodle is made by hand, which is authentic and natural. No additives are added. It has a long storage time and can be stored for 10 months.

Rice noodles are a food we often eat, but they are prone to rice worms, so we should store them in a cool, dry place. If there are insects in the rice noodles, it means that the place where they are stored is not suitable and they need to be changed, but the rice noodles still do not affect the consumption. Don't worry too much if you accidentally eat it, just pay attention next time.

As long as you don't eat these bugs in large quantities, there will be no health effects and no disease. Even if the eggs are ingested, parasitic infections usually do not occur. When the temperature and humidity of the rice storage environment reach the right conditions, the rice worms (larvae) hatch with the eggs.

There is no virus and no infectious disease, and rice worms will not bite us or parasitize, as long as the rice worms are washed away, they can be eaten. But if the rice is moldy, you can't eat it!

How did the rice noodle bugs come about?

The insects in the rice noodles do not appear out of thin air, but are larvae hatched from the eggs. It is mainly divided into the following two aspects: 1. Grains usually have eggs when they grow, while the processing process of rice flour is relatively simple, mainly to retain nutrients.

Adult worms are killed during processing, but the remaining vegetative part still contains eggs, which hatch into larvae under the right conditions. 2. There will be insect sources in the storage environment and transportation process, and they will multiply rapidly when the temperature and humidity reach the appropriate conditions.

How to preserve rice noodles without insects.

1.Put the peppercorns in a pot and boil, put a few small cloth bags in the pot, take them out and dry. Bury the lower and middle parts of the rice, seal the mouth of the grain bag, and place it in a cool and ventilated place to prevent insects.

2.If the damage to the rice is not severe, you can put the rice noodles in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator along with the bag or container, freeze for 24 hours, and then take them out. At this time, the insects are frozen to death and turn red and black, so after freezing, Peichen must pick them out in time so as not to affect the original taste of the rice.

Then wash and dry the oil drum or large drink bottle at home, put the grain in it, cover it, and put it in a cool place to keep it dry and free of insects.

3.Wrap the garlic, tangerine peel and kelp into a small cloth bag and put it in the grain. However, don't put too much, otherwise the food can easily carry out these special flavors.
