We Never Would Have Thought of This…But It's All the Rage!
When you think of gourmet cuisine, insects may not rank very high on your list of delicious and sought-after delicacies. After all, for most of us, insects are nothing but a nuisance and something that we typically put out poison for in the hopes of killing them…if we're not squashing them underneath our shoe! However, in many parts of the world insects are valued for both their taste and their nutritional value, and appear regularly on several restaurant menus.
While this may seem bizarre — and maybe even a little gross — to those us here in the West, many people here are jumping on the insect cuisine bandwagon and incorporating these little critters into their own diets. The United Nations even released a report detailing the benefits of raising insects for food. Plus, knowing what insects you can eat might just save your life in a survival situation! Still, it can be difficult for many of us to wrap our heads around that idea, which is why we've chosen three insects you might want to try if you're considering trying this culinary trend for yourself.
For our top three edible insects, please continue to Page (2) for the full list.
