A coconut worm, also known as a coconut rhinoceros beetle larva or “Duong Dua” in Vietnamese, is the larval stage of a type of beetle that feeds on the sap of coconut trees and other palm trees. These larvae are prized as a delicacy in some Southeast Asian countries, particularly in Vietnam. They are typically white, soft, and plump, resembling large grubs, and are often eaten raw or cooked as part of traditional dishes. Despite their appearance, they are considered nutritious and are sought after for their unique taste and texture. #trending #countryside
