Insects may still seem like creepy crawly things from the ground for most of us, but some people are adamantly convinced that insects will be a vital part of our future dinner. Danish entrepreneurs Jacob Rukow and Philip Price are two such people who wholeheartedly believe in insects and have invested years of their lives to build this cricket farm in Copenhagen. However, they were left scratching their heads trying to convince people to get over their fears and try insects, so they came up with a new idea: cricket-based juice. Their cricket farm consists of abut 10,000 crickets and can produce over 220 pounds of crickets per year. The insects are fed on a diet based on leftover vegetables and coffee grounds. The partners launched a juice drink called 15 Crickets, which blends together apples, ginger and 15 crickets from their farm. The insect juice drink will launch on Thursday at a bar in Copenhagen, where the pair will serve the cricket juice mixed with rum and gin cocktails together with some other cricket-based snacks. 10 Danish supermarkets have also agree to carry the juice. Are you ready to join the insect revolution?
German entrepreneur Folke Dammann runs an unusual backery business from the kitchen of his home near Hamburg. All of his delectable sweets are made with insects. Folke has carved his own niche in the culinary world by concocting confections with all sorts of different types of insects. Some of his most popular treats include chocolate covered worms and crunchy grasshoppers served with sweet strawberries. The insect business isn't all flowers and butterflies. Selling insect-based sweets has proven to be quite a challenge for Folke due to Germany's ban on breeding insects for human consumption. To get around the German ban, Folke must import the insects from neighbouring countries with more liberal insect breeding policies, such as France. Of the one million known types of insect species, only about 2000 are edible. However, insect breeding requires much less resources than raising livestock. The UN and other global organizations have attempted to break the apparent taboo about eating insects that keeps most people very wary of even any dishes which anything creepy or crawly. Folke's business is one small step to erase the taboo.
Looking for an easy, affordable way to get a high protein diet? Researchers of the Federal University of Rio Grande in Brazil may have come across a crunchy answer, although it might turn your stomach; cockroach-laced bread. Before you start gagging, you should know that by adding 10 percent of cockroach-based flour to the production of regular bread, the final loaf produced by these researchers contained up to 23 percent more protein than regular bread.
