When it comes to the nutritional value of cicadas, there is a folk saying that cicadas are compared to Tang monk meat, which means that cicadas are very rich in nutritional value and delicious, which makes people feel immortal after eating them. So what are the nutritional values of cicadas? As you may know, all insect foods are rich in protein. Monkey cicada is no exception. Each 100g monkey cicada contains 72g of protein, which is equivalent to 70% of the total, which is quite scary.
Moreover, the protein contained in cicada monkeys is not ordinary protein, nor can it be compared with the simple fried tofu. We should know that protein contained in monkeys contains many kinds of amino acids that are beneficial to our health, and only essential amino acids account for 46% of the total amino acids, so we can imagine how rich the nutritional value of monkeys is. Moreover, the nutritional value of cicada also includes its rich vitamins and inorganic salts.
Minerals such as calcium, phosphorus and iron, which are in great demand by human body, are quite abundant in cicadas. In addition, the high-quality oil content of cicada (15%) also greatly increases the nutritional value of cicada. These oils are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, which can lower our cholesterol and maintain the balance of blood pressure.

How to buy cicada monkeys
1. It's time for cicadas to go out in the hot summer evening. At this time, I finished my dinner early and walked to the Woods with a prepared flashlight and a bottle containing cicadas.
I learned that the monkey was hiding in the cave before it was completely dark. It rose from the ground, crossed a long tunnel, dug a shaft close to the ground, and opened a small hole with its front paws to spy on the weather. At this time, you need to poke the hole with your finger or stick, and then take out the cicada.
As soon as it gets dark, the cicada monkey will break through the ground and go straight to the nearest tree, which is a good time to catch in a day. Eight or nine o'clock in the evening is the best time to touch monkeys in trees. Cicada climbed slowly along the trunk, and quickly took the flashlight.
4, a fruitful night, knowing both monkeys and cicadas. The cicada monkeys caught can be sold or made into dishes, usually fried and very delicious!
Side effects of cicada
Although cicada monkeys are delicious and have the effect of clearing away heat and reducing fire, eating too much can also cause indigestion and discomfort. In addition, because cicadas contain a large number of foreign protein molecules, it is easy to cause allergies, so people with allergies need to pay more attention and eat carefully.
