Despite opposition, insect-based food products are on the rise in Europe.
The process is simple: insects are frozen, boiled, dried, and then pulverised. The resultant powder can be used to make up foods like pasta.
This powder is a superfood packed with vitamins, fibre, minerals and amino acids. One plate contains higher sources of iron and magnesium, for example, than a regular sirloin steak.
But what about the taste? The BBC’s Sofia Bettiza found out.

Ah, citizens of COVID.. with passports and other attributes of absolute idiots.
It is the parasites inside them that would make me think again about eating a cricket.
🤮
OMG 😱
🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Entomo Farms Cricket Powder contains high levels of arsenic. A two tablespoon (20 gram) serving contained 17.6 mcg of total arsenic, of which 15.6 mcg was inorganic arsenic.
I will stick to pasta made the traditional way, you can take your bugs and swivel, klaus.
I'll never eat bugs, it's the final step to the dystopian reality.
OH Stop 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Crickets (I mean whole crickets, not a powder!) are a common traditional food here in Northern Thailand, as in some areas of Yunnan, China. You can find them for sale at tourist markets here in Chiang Mai, like the Sunday Walking Street, especially during the March dry season. When I worked at the Chiang Dao Hill Resort part-time back in 2014, during that month, which is a slow tourist season, due to the air pollution resulting from burning on plantations, catching crickets was the biggest activity among the staff! It was SO DISGUSTING to see them catch them by putting glue on the plant stems and leaves, and then THROW THE CREATURES INTO HOT WATER TO BOIL THEM ALIVE! Especially to me, as someone who is mainly vegetarian and who had eaten mostly Indian-type food in in Sri Lanka and Malaysia for the past 10 years! I REFUSED to eat cricket, and this made my Thai partner angry.
I love the peaceful sound of chirping crickets at nighttime, very much a part of my childhood growing up in Georgia, as well as here in Thailand and the tropical countries where I've lived, and this is another reason I wouldn't eat them. Can't understand Thais, who are devout Buddhists, wanting to eat them – Sri Lankans, who are so similar to Thais in many ways, certainly would not! However, if they are ground into a powder to make a flour, I think that's a more acceptable way to serve them, especially if they are killed in a less painful way. Main thing here is that people must KNOW what is there in the ingredients, if anything made from this flour is served at a restaurant or food stall. It should not be like with McDonald's and other fast=food companies putting vegetarian ingredients in their burgers and them calling them beef burgers, because that's not honest. Also because of people with food allergies, and because people who are vegan will not eat.
No way!🥶🥶🥶
I was watching a documentary on eating insects in places like Asia. I liked the look of some of it. Bought a bag of freeze dried bugs. Kinda liked em.
What a surprise! The BBC caught pushing yet another WEF agenda! Disgusting in every sense!
The Acheta protein is actually very harmful to humans. Do not be cornered into eating this kind of rubbish, ever!
Ummmm, Nope!
Would try it, no problem.
Most important thing is – we want to see how Bill Gates, Claus Shwab, Bidens, Obamas and Clintons and all their big-pharma pals eat insects on the vision. Whole insects – not some powder of couse 😀 thats the ONLY WAY we can be sure its ok for us.
Yeahhh…that'll be a no for me. You can keep that. I'll stick to my usual ways of protein
Looks disgusting and gross,so no wonder the elites want to feed the “plebian masses” this slop. Not like we’ll have a choice come 2030.
God will never forgive you😢😢😢
No Italian wants to eat this crap 🤮
Europeans are uncivilized 😂
Nope!
I prefer a steak
Pure evil. 😂
Nasty, wtf Italy.
It’s not part of the Italian cuisine! We don’t eat this crap!
Inrather die than eat bugs, hope you burn in hell wef, I hope wef burns in hell. Hope schwabs goes to hell
Oh World Economic forum is promoting this idea
I think I threated pineapple on pizza too harshly…
This is more disgusting than the reporter thats eating it
Buggin
grow your own food
Maybe if there is nothing to eat then people can eat that. However, of course restaurants can hide in pasta.
No, I would not. Keep your dystopian tyranny from us. I shall enjoy steaks and whatever else I please.
These foods should not be reserved for the elites of society, no matter how much they try to force bugs down our throats.
Is it a substitution or fortified? Please i need the answer
Eating bugs forbidden in the bible…. So look at societies current list of revolting leaders who suggest we eat creeping things
PROPAGANDA ⚠️
