We look at insects every day. They invade our houses and gardens. They are basically everywhere. It seems strange to treat them as food.


Although we are used to seeing animals as food, animals with more than four legs are always unpopular. However, many countries in the world have adopted this nutrition. Insects can be found almost anywhere and transformed into any kind of food, which has numerous advantages.

Therefore, it is wrong to regard insect food as the taste of whole cockroaches or grasshoppers. The possibilities are quite different from the collective imagination. The problem is that insects are disgusting to our culture, and they just make food tasteless by sight.


Here, a certain number of insect-based products are emerging, which can not only win the taste, but also win the vision.

Bar:


There are many kinds of them.


Bars can be both sweet and salty. You just need to adjust some ingredients. All ingredients contain insect food.


Usually, the best ones are those from grasshoppers and crickets, but even those with different types of worms are very common.


This bar is rich in protein and energy, so it is very suitable for daily snacks or diets. The flavor is given by the added ingredients. Usually, cocoa, coconut powder or dried fruit are very popular.






Hamburger:


Those made from insects are similar in all respects to ordinary ones.


Among the most commonly used animals, there are worms and larvae, especially moth larvae, which have ideal consistency, can be shaped in a typical hamburger shape, and after cooking, remind the normal chicken hamburger.

In some cases, hamburgers contain some beef and some insect meat.

These are sweet and salty mixtures, usually made from whitefly larvae, but also contain some ants.


To add flavoring ingredients, such as carrot butter or tomato sauce, to the matrix of insects and compounds.


There are also sweet creams in the market: the most popular ones are chocolate (milk and dark chocolate).






Bread, spaghetti and French fries:


Even in these cases, flour worm/cricket flour is used to produce certain kinds of starch. As a result, animal-derived bread contains a lot of protein and nutrients, so it can replace the classic steak.


The appearance of these products is similar in all respects to that of the original products, even for those who are disgusted with arthropods as food.


Of course, these products are completely gluten-free.






Cricket powder






Ice cream, biscuits and desserts:


Many sweets can be prepared from insects.


There are also many ice cream producers around the world, including in Europe, who choose to mix insect fragments into their products and mix them with some flavors, such as chocolate or berries.


However, there are some insect-based candy products on the market, such as biscuits and almond cakes.


Brave people can also try chocolate-covered insects. It's about natural insects, covered with white, milk or dark chocolate. In this case, besides worms, larvae, crickets and locusts, there are scorpions.






Protein powder and snacks:


Bodybuilders have also been considered in the insect world.


There are many protein diets made up of insects.


Grasshoppers and crickets are a wider choice. These are best for simple production systems that produce protein powders because of their brittleness and their use in making mini snacks.


The large amount of protein in these animals makes them an excellent choice for athletes.






Animal food:


Pets and farm animals can benefit from many advantages of insect food. There are feeds on the market designed specifically for animals that need high levels of protein. Insects that mix with other ingredients, such as grains and eggs, can be found.
