Why do people eat insects?

I think this is normal, everyone's preferences are different.

There are many types of insects, such as silkworm pupae, bee pupae, giant cover insects, locusts, etc., and they are all eaten by people.

Just like some people like to eat braised food and find it delicious, but some people find it disgusting because they don't eat animal offal.

Some people like to eat chicken heads and duck heads, but some people just don't dare to eat the heads because they feel dirty.

For example, I think braised large intestine and other internal organs have a smell, so I would never eat it.

But I like to eat silkworm pupae and bee pupae.

Barbecued silkworm chrysalis or open-sided silkworm chrysalis, which means directly brushing the ingredients and grilling it, or cutting it from the middle and frying it in oil. It is very crispy, fragrant and delicious.

This type of insect, like silkworm chrysalises and wasp pupae, has very high nutritional value. It is said that one silkworm chrysalis has the same protein content as several eggs.

I think as long as you can accept it and the insect is good for your health, then I don’t think there is any problem.

Aren’t we all advocating balanced nutrition now? In the past, there were many kinds of vegetables that everyone didn’t know they could eat, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be eaten or have no nutritional value.

Now that the economy is developed, there are more types of food to choose from. As long as you eat in a regular restaurant and don't feel very uncomfortable after eating, that's fine.

In fact, if you don't try some things, you may think that a certain insect looks very scary and ugly, and you can't bear to eat it.

But after you taste it.

Just like the cicada pupae and bee pupae I have eaten, they taste very delicious and I can accept them the second time.

Just like when my husband used to go out for barbecue.

I would order roasted cicada pupae, but he didn’t understand why he would eat it.

But after I let him taste it, he was able to accept it and was more willing to eat it.
