Eating lychees like this is like eating bugs?

Now is the season for lychees to be on the market.

It is said that a summer without lychees is incomplete.

In ancient times, there was a saying that “one can eat 300 lychees a day”.

Today we have “eat one after another”.

But recently, the topic of lychee has become a hot search:

Some netizens said,

In fact, it is not only you who likes to eat lychees.

Bugs like to eat it too!

I also like to leave some "marks" after eating.

After peeling the lychee,

The black part of the lychee stem is the excrement of insects.

White is clean!

Netizens who love to eat lychees can't sit still anymore.

The lychee in my hand suddenly lost its fragrance.

Some netizens even posted photos of lychees with worms.

Here comes a live broadcast.

Several other "warriors" said,

This is high-quality protein.

Just eat it.

Of course, some people have given detailed explanations.

Not all lychee stems are black

There are bugs everywhere.

In this regard,

Health experts say:

To be precise, it is not that the lychees have worms.

Instead, the insects drilled into the litchi fruit.

This insect is called litchi stem borer.

It is a major pest of litchi.

The damage caused by stem borers is that it affects the edible value of litchi.

But the insects themselves are harmless.

There is no need to worry about any adverse reactions after accidental ingestion.

but,

Because the insects and their feces on the litchi have not been disinfected,

Unhygienic, please be careful when eating.

Tips: How to choose lychees

1. Look at the skin: If the skin is obviously brown, it means that the sugar content has been lost or has deteriorated.

2. Look at the junction of the fruit stalk and the peel: If there are insect holes here, or the stalk has turned black, it is very likely that it has been occupied by insects and is not recommended for purchase.

3. Pinch gently with your hands: if the skin is elastic, hard and moist, it is a fresh lychee.

4. Smell: Fresh lychees have a fresh fragrance. Don’t buy those that smell sour or alcoholic.

Okay, that's all.

You continue to eat~
