Insects are trendy – why more and more people swear by insects

Insects as food are becoming more and more popular. You can read why more and more people, especially athletes, are reaching for the little animals in our trends.

Insects are on the advance and are landing more and more often on the plates in this country. And rightly so: because insects are not only very healthy, they are also sustainable.

If you compare insects with cattle, for example, the small crawfish do much better. While around 80% of the body part of an insect is edible, only around 40% can be eaten from a beef. The protein content of an insect is (based on the respective body weight) even higher than that of a cattle. In addition, insects take up significantly less space and far fewer resources than cattle breeding requires.

So if you are looking for an environmentally friendly alternative to steak and the like, you should try insects! Crickets and other animals have a fine taste (similar to chicken) and are therefore also suitable as an ingredient for pasta and even pesto!
