Silkworm pupae dishes are delicious, but these 5 types of people should limit their intake

Although silkworm pupae are a delicious, nutritious, and appetizing dish, you should only eat them 2-3 times a month, no more than 100-150g/time. Not everyone is suitable to eat silkworm pupae. The following people should not eat or limit eating silkworm pupae to ensure their health:

1. People with allergies:

Silkworm pupae contain many strange proteins that can easily cause allergic reactions such as rashes, hives, stomachaches, difficulty breathing, etc. Those who have a history of allergies to seafood, insects or strange proteins need to be extremely careful.

Therefore, if you eat silkworm pupae for the first time, you should eat a small amount to "test" your body's reaction.

2. People with gout

Silkworm pupae contain very high levels of protein, especially purine – a component that is easily converted into uric acid in the blood. Eating silkworm pupae can cause gout sufferers to experience severe pain within a few hours.

3. Children under 2 years old

The digestive system of young children is still weak and not yet suitable for digesting the high amount of protein and fat in pupae. Eating pupae too early can cause indigestion, stomachache or allergies.

4. Newborn women

Northerners often avoid giving pupae to women after giving birth because they can cause bloating, indigestion, and abdominal discomfort. Some places replace lemon leaves with Vietnamese coriander to make it easier to digest, but it is best to avoid pupae during the 1-2 months after giving birth.

5. People with digestive disorders

For those with bloating, diarrhea, acute colitis - eating pupae can make the condition worse because the indigestible protein puts pressure on the digestive system.
