Black beetles cause rice to lose nutrients, take this tip to chase them away to protect family health

Sometimes when we buy rice, we have seen black beetles appear in it, or after using rice for a while, it starts to appear. It is not only the old rice that gets the beetle, but the rice beetle's egg has stuck to the grain of rice, the rice grain from the rice harvest period, after a while and with the right conditions, they hatch into the black beetle that you still see.

Rice with a beetle looks not only aesthetic, but its nutritional value as well as its taste are reduced. Here are the simple tips you can use to kill blackworms without affecting the quality of rice.

The first way: Use a refrigerator to kill a worm

This is a simple way anyone can do to kill the blackworm larvae in rice. Rice bought, checked carefully, then put it in a sealed bag and put it in the refrigerator for 1 week, causing the larvae to die, unable to hatch into a baby.

Note, this method can only be used with new rice, when the larvae have not hatched into a beetle. If the rice has black beetle, destroy it first and then keep the refrigerator for 1 week to make sure the larvae are completely clean.

Method 2: Use chili

For a few chilies that have been removed from the grain into the rice barrel, the pungent smell of chili will make you uncomfortable and leave. After the weevil has been removed from the rice, apply a way to preserve the rice in the refrigerator so that the larvae cannot hatch into a baby.

Method 3: Use salt

Sprinkle a little salt in a rice bucket, when eating rice, swallow salty salt, weevils will be afraid and will also leave. However, it is not recommended to sprinkle a lot of salt because it can make salty rice, which makes rice more susceptible to moisture.

In addition, there are some other notes in safe rice storage:

- Do not buy too much rice. The more you buy, the harder it is to store and check, or when you have been infected with a beetle or mold, it must be discarded as much. You should only buy a moderate amount to use, and buy it again.

- When buying rice if you see signs of moisture, you must dry the sun for rice and store it in a storage box and store in a dry place. Wet rice is a condition for termites as well as fungi to proliferate, affecting the quality of rice as well as the health of the family if consumed in this type of rice.
