Eating Edible Insects

Eating Edible Bugs 

By : Emelia

I am learning to persuade my audience

Have you run out of dinner Ideas? How about

 making a meal with meal worm fries, then a 

cricket salad. Your third course is chocolate

 covered crickets! I strongly recommend that

 you start cooking with insects. For most people 

even thinking about eating bugs make them say 

“YUCK” with disgust. My challenge for you is 

to try bugs. Bugs will give you a healthy diet

 and their are so many fun and tasty treats you

 can prepare with bugs.

Just think outside the box. Meal worm fries, 

chocolate covered crickets and scorpion

 lollipops these are just a few things you can 

make and they are a super quick and easy

 afternoon snack. Did you know that some bugs

 actually tend to taste a bit nutty and crickets

 taste like nutty shrimp. But, what are the health

 benefits we can get through eating bugs?

There are lots of health benefits you can get

 through eating bugs, bugs are actually quite 

nutritious and you can gain lots from them

 like carbs, protein, fiber, vitamins, essential

 minerals, and healthy fats, but you won't gain

 weight by eating insects because they don’t

 have calories. Grasshoppers and Crickets are

 rich in protein and you can find them pretty

 much anywhere. Still not convinced? Maybe

 creative dinners will change your mind!

Caramel cricket cheesecake, wax worm tacos,

 carrot worm soup, ginger cricket cookies,

 tarantula gummy bears, spicy cricket fritter 

and so many more. These are all creative 

cooking ideas. You could make a three course

 meal with all these Ideas. The appetizer would

 be mini spicy cricket fritters, the entree would

 be carrot and worm soup, the meal would be 

wax worm tacos and then the desert would be

 caramel cricket cheesecake! You could probably

 make even more delicious meals with bugs. 

Lots of countries like Thailand, Mexico, China 

, Australia and Brazil are all countries that cook 

with insects.

As you can see, there are many reasons why you

 should cook with insects, like tasty treats, health

 benefits, and creative cooking! Insects are a fun 

and tasty quick snack that you can eat at any time. 

You can eat as much as you like but not put on any 

weight and they are protein rich! You can make

 amazing dishes like caramel cricket cheesecake

 and wax worm tacos and more! I hope now, you

 will take the time, to try insects!
