Eating Locusts & Grasshopper
The famous grasshopper is known as an edible
insect to many people. This is often a first insect meal to people who
have never eaten insects or bugs before. They are eaten in substantial
amounts, in south America, Africa, Asia and some parts of the Middle
East. There are some species that change their behavior to swarm when
populations increase, these are called locusts. Grasshoppers cover the
globe, so nearly everyone can harvest this edible insect.
Edibility And Culinary Use
The taste is very good. It has a hardy flavor. There are no bad
tastes or aftertaste. It often just tastes like a hardier version of
the herbs and spices it’s cooked in. Grasshoppers should always be
cooked when eaten, not because of anything inherent to the grasshopper,
but they may contain parasites. Grasshoppers are eaten throughout the
world in many ways including, fried, baked, mashed, cooked over fire,
and boiled in salt, or soup.
The primary nutritional benefit is well known and that is its protein content compared to contents of fats and cholesterol. So in other words this is a great choice to get you protein but not put on a lot of pounds. Grasshopper is one thing you can fill up on and still feel good, this is a great way to stay thin and healthy.
