What are the white worms inside mango

Mango is a fruit that many people like. It is mainly a tropical fruit and a good fruit for many people to supplement vitamins and other nutrients. However, many people will find some small white worms inside mangoes when they eat them. When they find small white bugs, many people will worry that there is something wrong with the mango itself. Or you might think the mango is rotten. But usually, this little white bug is a fruit fly and has little impact on people.

The small white bugs that appear in mangoes are fruit flies, also known as fruit flies, a common fruit pest. The adult fruit flies burrow into the fruit before it matures and lay eggs, producing small white insects.

"Fruit flies" are almost harmless to the body when eaten. The larvae are not only harmless to the human body, but are also a kind of insect with high protein and high nutritional value. Although fruit flies, like the house flies we usually see, belong to the family Muscidae under the order Diptera, the entire stage from hatching larvae to growing into adults takes place in a pollution-free environment, and rarely produce pathogens, which is something that house flies cannot compare to.

If the mangoes you buy are infested with bugs due to improper storage methods, can you still eat them? First of all, if the bugs are limited to the skin, you can peel off the skin and continue to eat it; if a small amount of flesh is contaminated by insect pests, it shows that the mangoes are not contaminated by a large amount of pesticides, and you can cut out the part that was gnawed by the bugs and continue to eat it; if there are more bugs, do not eat it. At the same time, you should also pay attention to the following: if you see any moldy parts, do not eat them, as the toxins produced can cause great harm to your body.
