Ever been tempted by the thought of trying juicy deep fried mealworms,
proteinrich cricket flower, or swapping your Walkers for salt and
vinegar flavoured grasshoppers? If so then you are not alone! Over 2
billion people regularly eat insects as part of their diet, and the
world is home to around 1,900 edible insect species.
For adventurous foodies and daring dieters comes the newest way to save
the planet, eat more protein, and tickle taste buds. But this isn't an
insect cookbook. Instead it's an informative field guide: exploring the
origins of insect eating, offering tips on finding edible bugs and
serving up a few delicious ideas of how to eat them once you've tracked
them down!
It includes a comprehensive list on edible insects and where to find
them, how to prepare them, their versatile usage and nutritional value
as well as a few recipes. A bug-eating checklist covering all known
edible bugs so readers can mark off the ones they've eaten and seek out
new delicacies concludes the book.
This is a perfect introduction to the weird, wonderful, and adventurous
side of entomophagy.
