What are the medicinal values ​​of voles?

Voles are a type of mouse. Compared with house mice, the meat of voles is healthier because voles living in fields eat greener and healthier food. Therefore, in some places, especially in the Lingnan region, there is a habit of eating voles. It can be seen that voles have certain nutritional value. In addition, voles also have many medicinal values. So, how should voles eat? What other medicinal values ​​do voles have?

There is also a saying among the people in Lingnan that "eating one rat is equivalent to eating three chickens", which means that the nutritional value of field mice is higher than that of chicken.

It was only after SARS that Guangzhou reluctantly banned the consumption of rat meat.

People in Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian eat live voles in winter and dried voles in summer. This is because voles are fat in winter and suitable for eating live; in summer, voles are thinner, so they are dried into dried voles. Ninghua Dried Rat
