Sample these crunchy insects that are gaining popularity as a sustainable protein source, often seasoned with spices or chocolate. Crickets have a nutty, slightly earthy flavor and are surprisingly palatable when roasted properly. Many specialty food stores and restaurants now offer cricket flour products or whole roasted crickets as an eco-friendly snack.

People who tried this
“I chucked one of the crickets headfirst in my mouth and chewed, kept chewing, and finally gulped a swallow. “Crunchy,” my friend commented as I made her try one as well. They were exactly that: crunchy like chips, flavorful from the seasonings, and—besides a leg getting stuck in my teeth—a very painless experience.”
“Last night, three friends and I ate crickets for the first time. They were crunchy and nutty. One of my friends liked them so much he continued to eat the legs at the bottom of the bowl after all the whole crickets were gone.”
