It happens that people find bugs, dry cocoons, caterpillars or even moths in cereals like rice and buckwheat.
They are relatively difficult to spot and sometimes end up in the pan during cooking.
Some experts have suggested various things, such as that eating bugs is not harmful to the body, as it is simply an additional protein.
These experts also add that on average a person eats up to 250 grams of insects per year.
What insects usually end up in cereals
These are weevils, flour beetles, and food moths, as well as their larvae. They can also be found in dried fruits, nuts, seeds, chocolate, and dry dog food.
If you want to kill all the insects, it is enough to heat them in the oven at a temperature of 60 degrees.
You can also put the cereal in the freezer and wait 48 hours. In this case, the larvae will die.
To prevent insects from returning, you need to do a general cleaning and vacuum all corners.
