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

Although silkworm pupae are a delicious, nutritious dish that goes well with rice, you should only eat them 2-3 times a month, no more than 100-150g/time. Not everyone is suitable to eat silkworm pupae. Some of the following people should not eat, or limit eating silkworm pupae to ensure 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 it is your first time eating silkworm pupae, 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

A child’s digestive system is still weak and not yet ready to digest the high protein and fat content of pupae. Eating pupae too early can cause indigestion, stomachaches or allergies.

4. Newborn women

Northerners often avoid giving pupae to women after giving birth because it can cause bloating, indigestion, and abdominal discomfort. Some places replace lemon leaves with Vietnamese coriander to make digestion easier, 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.
