Macaca monkey is the larva of cicada, also known as cicada and cicada turtle, and is known as the meat of Tang Priest. The reason why it is called Tang monk meat is not only nutritious, but also has profound cultural charm. Because of its high nutritional value, unique style, good taste, and various nourishing and medicinal functions to human body, people have long compared eating cicada larvae to "Tang monk meat" that can make people live forever. The Tang Priest in The Journey to the West, one of China's four classic works, was originally the reincarnation of the second disciple of Sakyamuni, the cicada's larva (also known as the cicada's larva elder), and Tang Sanzang was reincarnated as a monk in the Tang Dynasty, meaning "the cicada's larva came out of its shell", so people regarded the cicada transformed from its shell as a symbol of immortality and regeneration, so The Journey to the West also ate it. Today, people put the nutritious "cicada larvae" on the table, which is called "Tang monk meat". Obviously, this is a full affirmation of the nutritional value of cicada larvae. Rich and unique nutritional value; According to the physical and chemical analysis of China Institute of Food Nutrition, the cicada larva nymph is rich in protein 72g, fat 15g and ash1.8g; ; In addition, it also contains calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamins and trace elements necessary for human body. According to scientific analysis, grasshoppers are rich in amino acids, protein and trace elements, among which essential amino acids account for 46.63% of the total amino acids. If we compare the protein content of cicada larvae, which is the same as 100g, with that of other animals, we can really know how high its nutritional value is: the protein content of larva nymphs is 3.5 times that of lean beef (including 20.2% of protein), 4.3 times that of lean pork (16.7%) and 3 times that of mutton. 8 times, 3 times that of chicken (23.3%), 4 times that of carp (17.3) and 6 times that of egg (1 1.8%). It can be seen that the content of protein in cicada larva nymph is much higher than that in meat and eggs of any animal. Because it contains a variety of nutrients necessary for human body, it has an excellent auxiliary treatment effect on promoting growth and development, supplementing metabolic consumption and rehabilitating patients with physical weakness, so it has become a rare natural and pollution-free advanced nutritious food.
