How do they taste?
It's just like with chicken or beef, without any added flavoring most people wouldn't find insects that tasty. You have to prepare them correctly and make something out of them. Crickets taste good just lightly roasted. It's the same with grasshoppers.
Eating desert locusts can help to reduce the risk of heart diseases. |
