野外寻找可食用昆虫时,鞘翅目甲虫是安全选择:鞘翅目昆虫(如甲虫、金龟子)外壳坚硬(但烹饪后可食用),且多数不含毒素(与毛毛虫、蜘蛛相比,毒性概率低 90%);捕捉后去除头部、翅膀和腿部(保留腹部肌肉),用沸水焯烫后烤或煮(杀死寄生虫),富含蛋白质(含量是牛肉的 2 倍),是野外优质的蛋白质来源,识别时看是否有坚硬前翅(鞘翅)即可。
Why are "coleoptera beetles mostly edible" when identifying edible insects in the wild?
When looking for edible insects in the wild, coleoptera beetles are a safe choice: coleoptera insects (such as beetles, scarabs) have hard shells (but can be eaten after cooking), and most of them do not contain toxins (the probability of toxicity is 90% lower than that of caterpillars and spiders). After catching, remove the head, wings and legs (retain abdominal muscles), blanch in boiling water and then roast or boil (kill parasites). They are rich in protein (twice as much as beef) and are high-quality protein sources in the wild. When identifying, check whether there are hard forewings (elytra).
