It is a highly prized food and often boiled and fried whole. The insect's essence (a pheromone produced by the male that attracts females) is harvested by collecting its liquid-producing sacs. That liquid is then placed in small glass containers. The insect is claimed to be scarce,[citation needed] and demand for the extract is high. Most of the cà cuống essence on the market is therefore imitation, with the actual essence fetching a high price. Cà cuống is typically used sparsely and eaten with bánh cuốn (rice noodle rolls) by adding a drop to the nước chấm (dipping sauce).\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003eIt is also eaten in a soup dish called 'bún thang' adding a unique essence to the broth.
