Insect, those edible ones, are chocked full of protein, vitamins, amino acids and they are Popeye like spinach -loaded with calcium and iron. Insects such as beetles, caterpillars, grasshoppers, locusts, crickets and ants are a nutrient-dense food. There are over 2,000 edible insect species currently available and these insects are eaten around the world. Edible insect consumption is called entomophagy: eating insects such as eggs, larvae, pupae and adults, are harvested from forests or other suitable habitats. Edible insect farming is relatively easy compared to animal farming, as insect farming needs less soil, water, and feed. Edible insect production will continue to increase as the world’s resources are diminish, food scarcity continues and the world population continues to grow.
