| I have managed to make myself paranoid by seeing reviews of people buying frozen cauliflower from Walmart and seeing worms and shit in them. Is this just a regular thing? I know to wash raw vegetables/fruit when you buy em off the racks but I wouldve assumed frozen stuff was washed already. Are there certain brands to avoid/prefer because what if I miss a spot and now I've ingested a goddamn caterpillar | |
| Sorry if I sound stupid but is this a common thing? | |

| I once bought chingensai that had a cabbage worm in it. One. In the literal hundreds of thousands of chingensai and other crucifers and vegetables I've eaten in my lifetime. | |
| One. | |
| Your paranoia is unnecessary. Eat your fucking vegetables. | |

| frozen cauliflower??? | |
| cultural confusion aside if the standard for fish is to be frozen out at sea or a dropoff facility to eliminate anisakiasis and various other worms its probably no big deal that your veg is fine to consume even with dead bugs or parasites on it | |

| you vill eat it anon | |
| in no time you'll be complaining when you find bits of cauliflower in your bag of worms | |
| --- 19163362 | |
| Just as many worms in vegetables as there is in fish and pork and grains and beans. Truly nothing you you can do to avoid them. | |
| --- 19163391 | |
| Do you guys just pick them out if you see em and go on about your day? | |
| I guess boiling in water helps at least | |

| whether or not its sanitary or sterilized doesn't change the fact that it's gross :[ | |
| --- 19163404 | |
| There are bugs and rodents in our food supply. Always have been. Virtually inescapable, or at least a costly fix. Just get in the habit of quickly inspecting your food and try not to think about it. You've probably unknowingly consumed literal pounds of insect parts in your lifetime. It didn't bother you until you knew about it | |
| Just wait until you find out how dirty, disgusting and unsafe restaurants are. | |

| I've handled so many thousands of bags of mixed greens. You'd be surprised how many live frogs I've had to deal with. As a cook, I just ask I can take it home for bait, because it feels wasteful to kill it and throw it in the trash. | |

| It happens. I got a can of greenbeans one time that had a huge grasshopper in it. | |
| I sent in a complaint to the company and all they did was send me a coupon for a free can of veggies. | |
| --- 19164071 | |
| >>19163416 | |
| Imagine being a little grasshopper and being scooped up by some farmer guys then shipped off to a factory and put in a can. It's dark and cold in there, but you have food at least. After weeks it must have lost it's mind in there | |

| Catapillers and shit are ok because they signify a fresh garden. Roaches or flies signfy rot and mould. Depends on the bug. For the most part you can just pick out a catapiller. If you find a fucking fly in your food it's definitely too far gone. | |

| OP, having bugs in your produce means it's less likely to be loaded with pesticides | |
| Just wash your vegetables properly, blanch or scald them if you're still paranoid | |

| I have a garden and it's basically impossible to eat fresh kale without having little green worms or aphids on it. the worms can be combed off but youll never clear every single aphid, there are simply too many. At the end of the day, it's important to remember that a lot of these insects are not actually full of harmful bacteria or harmful at all to humans. | |
| Im scared of insects so they freak me out, but look at squash vine borers. They hatch inside of the vine. They cant be full of bacteria and nasty bfore they are born otherwise how would birth even work. Then they eat...... plant pulp. The same stuff we eat. Then it shits it out and keeps growing. The bugs are gross but they are not like flies or roaches. | |

| I just put the cabbage worm aside and continued prepping my veg. I watched it a bit cuz it was neat and i liked it's colour. | |
| >>19163396 | |
| I agree that eating bugs is icky poo yucky. I've tried several sorts several times and i simply do not enjoy any but i imagine the ones I'd chosen to try were cleanly bugs, like crickets, grasshoppers, ants and their larvae, mealworms and witchetty grubs. We're i to find, say, a roach, fly or waterbug in my food, we'd have a fucking problem since those are not cleanly bugs in my eyes. Still, i wouldn't choose to eat any bugs again. Tried em. Hated em. Simple as. | |

| dipping shuit in vinegary, salty water for 10-15 minutes ususally results in everything dying and floating to the surface. Solid chunks of vegetation usually don't require that kind of scrutiny | |

| I found a chrysalis in my loose leaf vacuum jar of (green) tea few days ago. Didn't ever bother picking it out, because it doesn't impact the taste in the slightest. | |
| --- 19166777 | |
| >>19164729 | |
| i agree but i'm not eating bugs i'm sorry we just need to start dying if we're so overpopulated we must eat bugs | |
| i mean 1000 years ago we didn't have to eat bugs and stuff has only gotten easier why do we have to eat bugs now? food is so basic i can't eat bugs i don't care about other luxuries food is like the bottom of the pyramid it can't be bad | |

| The more organic you buy, the more likely you'll find bugs in your produce. | |
| Romaine lettuce I buy almost always has aphids in them. | |
| They're kinda cute desu. | |
| When you take them out the fridge, they reanimate. | |
