What insects can make delicious food?

The first species: grasshoppers (commonly known as grasshoppers)

Locust is an insect that can be used as medicine and food, and its edible and medicinal values are relatively high. Locust is rich in protein, carbohydrates, insect hormones and other active substances, and contains vitamins A, B, C, phosphorus, calcium, iron, zinc, manganese and other trace elements. Locust is not only delicious food, but also a good medicine for treating diseases, which has the effects of warming stomach, strengthening yang, invigorating spleen, promoting digestion, expelling wind and relieving cough. Compendium of Materia Medica records that locusts can treat many diseases, such as tetanus, infantile convulsion, fever, asthma, abdominal distension, cormorant plague, chilblain, tracheitis and prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

The most classic eating methods are: fried locusts, braised locusts, roasted locusts and so on.

The second kind: silkworm chrysalis

Silkworm pupae are pupae insects that become cocoons after silkworms spin silk and form cocoons. Silkworm pupae are not only delicious, but also nutritious. Silkworm pupa is rich in protein and various amino acids, equivalent to pork tenderloin, without too much saturated fat. At the same time, the essential amino acids in silkworm chrysalis protein are complete in variety, suitable in proportion, easy to digest and absorb, and high in utilization rate in human body, so it is a high-quality animal protein source. Unsaturated fatty acids account for 70.9% in silkworm pupa fat, among which α -linolenic acid accounts for the majority, which has good anti-inflammatory and anti-infection effects, and is beneficial to lowering blood pressure, reducing blood lipid and improving immunity. In addition, silkworm chrysalis is rich in vitamins, ergosterol and other active substances.

The most classic ways to eat silkworm chrysalis are: charcoal-roasted silkworm chrysalis (I believe friends who have read Song Xiaobao's sketches know this way), spicy fried silkworm chrysalis, dried silkworm chrysalis and so on.

The third kind: cicada (also called cicada)

I believe many friends have caught cicadas when they were young, and many friends should know that cicadas can be used as medicine. When I was a child, I often went to the fields to find cicadas and bought them for pharmacies. The edible cicada is a cicada that has not yet formed an adult and belongs to the nymph stage. Cicada cooking at this stage is the most delicious, commonly known as golden cicada. Cicadas are not only high in protein, but also contain calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamins and trace elements necessary for human body, so they are of high edible value. The price of cicada monkeys on the market at present is not cheap.

The most classic ways to eat are: know the monkey with salt and pepper, know the monkey with frying, and know the monkey with frying.
