'Preserve   in Cheerio .text()

I need to get the text with tags.

const $ = cheerio.load(
      '<textarea id="ir1" name="ir1" class="new_tarea" style="height:540px"><p>abcdefg123123&nbsp;</p></textarea>'
    );
    
const extract = $("#ir1").text();
console.log(extract)
    

** the <p> tag is the text for not a html.

below is the extract

<p>abcdefg123123 </p>

but I want to get this such as

<p>abcdefg123123&nbsp;</p>

How to get &nbsp; with tag?
