Long cherries but harmless to the human body

At the moment, it's the ripe season for local cherries in Jinhua. Many people's circle of friends have been smashed by this lovely little pink fruit.

Someone was happy, but some people began to worry because they heard that there were many bugs in the cherries, scaring some people not to eat.

Some netizens said that they bought cherries in salt water. After a long time, there was a very small white bug in the water. They looked very disgusted and did not dare to eat it. Some netizens said that they were even more exaggerated, claiming that "9 of the 10 cherries have flaws."

Is the truth really true?

The reporter decided to conduct experiments on his own, so he bought 3 batches of cherries in the Lanximen fruit market and Jiangdong Road in the north of the Jiangbei area. There were also foreign and local Jinhua.

Jinhua's local cherry is a small but sweet, generally popular, the price is high, the price is about 100 yuan per kilogram, the price of cherry in the field (mostly in Shandong) is slightly cheaper.

However, Jinhua has a small amount of local cherries. Most of them are self-picking, rarely sold in the market, and some are retailed by small households. The reporter went to Futailong and other large supermarkets and found no local cherries on shelves.

The reporter bought a total of 3 batches of cherries, of which the left and right pots contained Jinhua's native cherries, and the middle one was cherries from Shandong. Although the heads were large, they were not sweet enough.

The reporter used hot water against 3 parts of salt water. After the water temperature dropped to a certain level, he was put in the cherries. After half an hour, two insects were seen in the left box and three insects were seen in the right pot. Live, about 1 to 2 cm long, white. Roughly, there are about 70 cherries in the right basin. No insects were seen in the middle cherry pot.

Two hours later, these insects still had 3 insects in 70 cherries. The ratio was not high.

The reporter then tasted the soaked cherries and found it was not delicious. I wonder if it was more salt.

Expert statement

This is a fruit fly larva

Wang Huaxin, stationmaster of Jinhua City's special product station, told the Qianjiang Evening News that like Yang Mei and other insects, there are insects in the cherry.

"Generally there are more crackers." Wang said that some time ago, Jinhua had rain, and after exposure, the cherry cracked more, so the fruit flies would lay their eggs in it. "The eggs of the fruit fly will be ours after hatching." See the white bug."

The head of the station said that even if a person inadvertently eats such a bug, it does not harm the human body. There is no need to panic at all. “Insects are actually proteins, which is good for the body.”

As for the rumors of the network's cherry buying home salt water, the owner of the king thinks that this depends on everyone’s own choices. Today, cherries rarely fight drugs. If the family pays more attention to this health, it can also be a bubble. When buying, try not to crack the fruit.
