Deep Fried Cicada




I can't believe people eat these. Cicada is a kind of insect that is hearsay has high nutritional value. In China, people dry this kind of insect, and use it as part of the traditional Chinese medicine. But due to Cicada's high nutritional value, unique style, and good taste, people also eat it as deep fried.

According to the analysis and research finding from the Chinese Institute of Food and Nutrition, per 100g of Cicada has 72g protein, 15g fat, and 1.8g ash. In addition, it also contains essential calcium, phosphorus, iron, and multivitamin and trace elements. Through scientific analysis, the Cicada body is rich in amino acids, proteins and trace elements.

I have seen this course of food when I was in China, but I was not dare to eat it!!
