Is bullfrog hygienic now?

Nutritional value and efficacy of bullfrog

The nutritional value of bullfrog is very rich, mainly because it has a good nourishing effect on the human body. If it is eaten for a long time, it can help us excrete any toxins from the body. Moreover, if you feel that you have a lot of stomach acid but poor digestive ability, it is just right to eat a little bullfrog at this time. If you are sick or weak, it is just as good to eat bullfrogs.

Bullfrog can promote human vitality and energy, nourish yin and strengthen yang, and has the effects of nourishing heart, calming nerves and invigorating qi.

Bullfrog also has the effects of nourishing, detoxifying and treating some diseases.

From a medical point of view,

When people (especially women) avoid eating, eating frog meat can stimulate appetite, and patients with weak stomach or hyperacidity should eat frog meat.

In addition, it is often used in medicine to treat heart or kidney edema, throat abrasions or mild diphtheria, hot sores and scabies, edema and so on.

The viscera and offal of bullfrog are rich in protein, which produces compound amino acids after hydrolysis. Among them, arginine and lysine are high in content, which is a good food additive and tonic.

Hydrolyzed compound amino acids are used in medicine and cosmetics industry after separation and purification. The endocrine system of bullfrog secretes a variety of hormones, which can be used in medicine, industrial production and scientific research after extraction. For example, pituitary hormones are used as artificial oxytocin in fish and amphibians, which is beneficial to artificial reproduction.

The stomach gland, intestinal gland and pancreas of bullfrog are rich in digestive glands, especially protein glands with high content, which can be extracted and utilized. The bile extracted from bullfrog can be used as medicine after processing. Frog skin can be used as an excellent raw material for surgical thread. Frog oil can be used to make high-grade lubricating oil.

Taboo of bullfrog

But compared with its nutritional value, the health problem of bullfrog is really serious.

Although bullfrogs are rich in nutritional value, their growing environment is poor. Their growth environment is very harsh, which may cause many germs or parasites to remain inside and outside the body. If many friends who like to eat pickled bullfrog must pay attention when eating, if bullfrog is not heated thoroughly when making, it is easy to make people sick.

Carrying a lot of bacteria in the body

So, does bullfrog really carry a lot of germs, and can it still be eaten? Professor Ning Xibin, director of the Department of Food Safety and Nutrition of Shanghai Fisheries University, told the reporter that bullfrog is a major species of edible frog, native to North America. Because of its strong adaptability and simple feeding, it is cultivated in many areas of China.

Comparing the nutritional value of bullfrog and common frog, it is not difficult to see that the nutritional value of bullfrog is higher, and the protein content of bullfrog is also rich, and the fat content is also very low. If you have indigestion or hyperacidity, eating a little bullfrog is very good for your health, and it can also nourish you if you are in poor health.

Even if you want to eat, you should cook well.

Hu Keqiang, supervisor of the Beijing Municipal Health Supervision Office, told the reporter that at present, the Beijing Food Safety Office, industry and commerce, health and other departments are conducting a carpet investigation on the problem bullfrogs in the city, focusing on farmers' markets and restaurants.

Once bullfrogs of unknown origin are found, they will be sealed on the spot, and the disease control personnel will be responsible for sampling and testing. If high-risk intestinal pathogens such as Vibrio cholerae are found, they will be confiscated and destroyed according to regulations.
