White Banana Rice Field Worms

White Banana Rice Field Worms

　　The tidal flats and paddy fields in Liwei, Qiwei, Bawei of Baijiao, as well as the newly reclaimed Heye area, yield the most rice field worms. There are two main harvest seasons each year: one around the first and fifteenth days of the lunar calendar after the Qingming Festival, known as "Lychee Worms," and another around the Mid-Autumn Festival (lunar August 15), known as "Autumn Worms." Rice field worms can be stir-fried, deep-fried, smoked, steamed, sun-dried, pickled, or used in soups, offering a delicious taste, rich in protein, and making them a uniquely flavorful delicacy.
