      They are just protein. You will be fine. How many have you eaten throughout your life and you didn’t die.

      Ah, nature. I know it may seem gross, but those guys just want a bite or two 😆. Maybe you let them have this one so they can grow up into cute fluffy moths.

      Legit just protein. My Korean radish had holes in them, if there was anything in them they got turned into kimchi all the same.

      Well, I don’t know of anyone who eats zucchini raw so I guess whatever is in it gets cooked and I’m ok with that lol

      Good. If something is eating your veggies, then just know they’re probably not toxic.

      One time my dad bit into a roast potato his girlfriend cooked and was like OMG this is so so good how did you fill it with prawns? And she was like “uhhh what?” THEY WERE BIG ASS WORMS THAR GOT ROASTED IN THE POTATO

      Where are you? Ive grown zucchini for years and have never had tunneling insects

      Those are squash vine borers that weren’t properly prevented. Zucchinis, pumpkins etc get them from a type of moth that flies around your plants and eventually lays eggs in them. They live in the vines, etc and eventually emerge. The best way to prevent them is to do root soak treatments. You would have likely seen yellowing in the plants and leaves and these brown patches they seal themselves in with. That is not what normally comes out of a zucchini plant otherwise.

      🪱💻 ‘soak…your..veggies..haha, yeahhhh, that’ll get ‘em’

      Yuck. Luckily we cut up our zucchini in small pieces, so I would very likely notice the worms or signs of worms before eating them. Still pretty gross

      Eh, I get pickle worms in my cucumbers, eventually. Here in Hawaii it just seems to be a fact of life. The cucumbers with holes get thrown in a tub of plain water. The worms exit because they are drowning. I pull them out and put them in the bin for the chickens. The soaked cucumbers get sliced near the hole to see the interior damage. The bad parts go to the goats and cows. The good parts we slice up for ourselves. You just have to learn how to live with other critters, if you want to eat all your crop. As an aside, I do grow cucumbers without pickle worms too.

      Wouldn’t you see a hole and know there was something in there? Idk how they come out (or get in) without a noticable hole? /Genuine

      I get something similar in my pigeon peas and string beans. They only eat the fruit though. I just leave it in a pile in the yard. They turn into moths and become nocturnal pollinators. Im not going to eat all the beans and peas I plant so I just let them have a few.

      But it depends on the type of gardener you are. I save hundreds of seeds, so I’ve got several plants at once. Sometimes 12 to 20 of the same bean and peas plant. So I don’t disturb insects, there’s usually a few sacrificial plants that are entirely for the wild. So I see lots of wild animals and they eat whatever ripes.
      If you dislike insects, then use Sevens powder. Its effective and cheap. Most dollar stores or garden centers gave it.
      Be mindful that other foods like figs, cherries, mangos, and goose berries have borrowing worms 🪱 in them, that eat grow, then leave. Its a natural part of some fruits cycle so there’s normally a few with worms in them. You can identify worm infested fruit by looking for small brown circles on it. Or open circles. Open circles are worms that actively come out for air. While brown ones are ones that cocoon or live sealed up in the fruit. You can also double check by cutting the fruit open, by slicing the area of the small circles. You’ll see tunneling and the worms inside it. 😅 I see hundreds of worms every year from my pigeon peas. They are cute and I just chuck them onto a tree with lots of worms already.

      Yeah, I can’t grow zucchini here. If by some miracle a bug hasn’t eaten the plant and it grows an actual zucchini, it’s instantly riddled with bugs. Same for cucumbers which sucks bc I love cucumbers and growing them. The last few years I tried growing them, 90% were already infested with some larvae inside of it.

    27. EnvironmentNo1879 on

      Yeah, squash and zucchini have more worms on them than anything else in the garden combined. Those little bastards always fuck up my game plan!

    28. gravescentbogwitch on

      That’s how you know it’s good. I take a similar approach with bread. If the mold won’t eat it neither will I.

      You know what my mom always says: that’s what stomach acid is for.

    32. AsparagusWild379 on

      If you dip slices in eggs and a breadcrumb cheese mix you’ll never notice a bug.

    34. semidegenerate on

      You get used to it. Keep gardening and growing veggies, and you’ll get pleasantly desensitized.

    38. Jisan_Inc on

      I forget that not everyone grew up growing veggies and making their own food and the idea of bugs in food source is fairly natural and common. The video tho, never encounterd that but i would just give it to the chickens. When you cut up damaged veggies you see evidence of infestation

    39. luscious_lobster on

      Let me be the messenger: There are regulations for how much bug is allowed in canned vegetables. To be absolutely clear: If you eat canned tomatoes, you are eating worms.

      Wait until you figure out microbiology. All good food is alive. And you don’t even digest the food you eat, but colonies of trillions of bacteria do, and you’re just a host.
