What are the benefits of Jinchan

1. The golden cicada, also known as the grasshopper cicada, and its nymph is also called the cicada turtle. It has extremely high nutritional value for medicinal food and a unique taste. The newly unearthed nymphs contain the highest protein, up to 58.58%-70.2%, which are four times that of beef and six times that of eggs, respectively. In other words, the nutritional value of one golden cicada is equal to that of 6 eggs.

2. In addition to its edible value, cicada also has extremely high medicinal value. According to the "Chinese Materia Medica", cicada has the effects of strengthening the essence and strengthening yang, quenching thirst and promoting the production of body fluid, protecting the lungs and benefiting the kidneys. Cicada peel is rich in chitin and is often used to treat exogenous wind-heat and other symptoms. It is a commonly used Chinese herbal medicine in my country. From this perspective, the medicinal value of a cicada is greater than that of 6 eggs. With the development of society and the improvement of people's lives, people's eating habits no longer require just eating well, but eating nutritiously and healthily, and people's awareness of self-care is constantly increasing.

3. The current trend of diet is food therapy plus nourishment, and the concept of "medicine and food have the same origin" is increasingly recognized by people. And Jinchan food is the ideal food that can be used as both medicine and food. Because of this, the market demand is increasing.

4. They are distributed in Henan, Hebei, Shandong, Anhui and other places in my country. There is a custom of eating cicadas and their nymphs in many areas of my country, especially in Henan, Hubei, Shanghai, Beijing, Shandong, Guangdong and other places. The most common ways of eating them are "fried cicadas", "crispy cicadas", "pepper and salt cicadas", etc. Cicada nymphs (cicada turtles) have extremely high nutritional value and unique taste, and are the best among edible insects. At present, they have become famous dishes suitable for various occasions. The protein content of newly unearthed nymphs is as high as 58.58%-70.2%.

Because of its high nutritional value, eating this is good for your body, but it is not easy to eat too much.

2. What is the harvest time for cicada monkey breeding in Henan?

Cicadas are usually harvested after about three years of breeding. Some of them can come out in two years, some in four years, and most in the third year. The specific differences are caused by the different thickness of the tree roots that the cicada ants parasitize after entering the soil and the different temperatures of the forest. Grasshopper cicadas are also called cicadas, and their cicada shells and male cicadas can be used as medicine. The newly unearthed old larvae are rich in nutrition, with a protein content of 58-58% and a fat content of 10-32%. Cicadas are now on the table as health foods, and the market demand is increasing, and the price is getting higher and higher.

3. When should cicadas be harvested when planted?

During the natural growth process of the cicada, it grows underground and generally takes three to five years before emerging from the ground. Of course, there are also special circumstances where it can grow underground for seven to eight years or even more than ten years. These are extreme cases.

However, when cicadas are artificially bred, the incubation period is shortened, allowing them to emerge from the ground half a year to a year and a half earlier. Therefore, the cicadas that are artificially planted that year can be harvested in advance. This refers to the time counted from the hatching of the eggs. If it is counted only from the time when the cicada nymphs enter the soil, it is no different from those grown naturally, and the time is the same.

4. How long does it take to see profits from artificially breeding cicadas?

The cost of raising cicadas: excluding labor costs, one mu of land costs about 1,200 yuan. The profit of raising cicadas: after 5 years, the income is about 8,000 yuan per mu, the cost is about 1,200 yuan per mu, and the gross income is about 6,800 yuan per mu. The time of raising cicadas: from the planting of cicada seedlings to the harvest, it takes about 3 years. One mu of land can harvest about 150 kilograms of cicadas, and if high-density breeding is used, it can reach about 300 kilograms.
