Turu

Turu

The turu, also worm, busan or termim is a bivalve mollusk of the family of Teredinidae, has worm-like vermiform aspect, having in one of the ends valves with furrows provided with teeth, that are used to open galleries in submerged woods , forming their colonies there. Its meat is edible, being part of the cuisines of Pará and Amazon, mainly in the Island of Marajó, being able to be consumed in the raw form, cooked or in soups. It is a food rich in calcium and iron. The taste is described as similar to that of clams, such as oysters. They live mainly in mangroves, feeding on their trunks or on rotting trees and fallen in water. They can devour the wood through their denticles on the head. They are like termites of wet wood, since they are found in the hulls of the boats, causing them losses. One of the species is Teredo navalis. References ^ Houaiss, Antônio.

O turu, também gusano, busano ou cupim-do-mar é um molusco bivalve da família dos teredinídeos, possui aspecto vermiforme semelhante a uma minhoca, tendo numa das extremidades valvas com sulcos providos de dentes, que são utilizados para abrir galerias em madeiras submersas, formando aí as suas colónias. A sua carne é comestível, sendo parte das culinárias paraenses e amazónicas, principalmente na Ilha de Marajó, podendo ser consumida na forma crua, cozida ou em sopas. É um alimento rico em cálcio e ferro. O sabor é descrito como semelhante ao dos mariscos, como as ostras. Vivem principalmente em manguezais, alimentando-se dos seus troncos ou em árvores podres e caídas na água. Conseguem devorar a madeira através de seus dentículos na cabeça. São como cupins de madeira molhada, pois são encontrados nos cascos das embarcações, causando-as prejuízos. Uma das espécies é o Teredo navalis. Referências ↑ Houaiss, Antônio.
