Are there small worms inside the cherries?

April 13, 2023
This season is the cherry season, many friends in the normal eating cherries simply did not find the bugs, so also can not help but have some questions: "cherries inside the small bugs"?

Are there small bugs inside cherries?

Cherry trees are resistant to disease and fruit fly larvae are not common, but in recent years, consumers are increasingly demanding cherries and prefer to buy cherries with more sugar and a sweeter taste, making this variety of cherry trees widely cultivated, and cherries with higher sugar content are more likely to attract fruit flies to lay eggs, and their larvae are commonly found in late picked or ripe cherries. So it leads to the phenomenon that most cherries purchased in the market will have worms.

Where do the worms inside the cherries come from

A small amount of cherry fruit becomes moldy and rotten, and the fruit odor emitted attracts fruit flies, which produce pinpoint-sized eggs on the nearby cherry fruit, which are generally not easily detected by the naked eye.

Are the worms in cherries edible?

Fruit flies are a kind of high-protein, nutrient-rich insects. Unlike the house flies that people usually see, the larvae are born and grow in a pollution-free environment, rarely carrying germs, and are basically harmless to humans. Therefore, to a certain extent, the worms in cherries can be eaten.

What does a bug inside a cherry mean?

Fruit flies are very sensitive to pesticides, and the fact that you can see them in cherries just means that they are safe. Note: It is normal for cherries to have worms, at least it means that the pesticide residue is relatively small. Some people also like to pick vegetables with long worms, thinking that they are more natural, and the cherries with worms can be marketed, and the insect-bearing part can be eaten.
