If you are not aware, bugs are very nutritious, don’t believe me ask Bear Grylls. Now don’t all rush to your gardens and start rummaging through the dirt for a tasty snack. Absolutely no one would recommend that. I’m sure most reading this shall agree that the idea of taking a bite out of a bug does not sound appealing, actually the thought makes me gag. However, what you can do it cook them and turn the bugs into flour and eat them like that, which I am much more likely to try. In fact, that’s exactly what I did, I tried it. Yup I can now technically say I have eaten crickets.
Specifically, I ate cricket Flour Energy Bars named Crobar.
According to the package of the bars:
“Crickets are the tasty, nutritious and sustainable protein source of the future. Roasted into versatile flour, crickets take less resources to farm, produce less harmful by-products and are higher in protein and micro-nutrients than beef.”
