Village Food in Amazon Forest - Catching, Cooking and Eating Coconut WORMS in Peru

Описание к видео Village Food in Amazon Forest - Catching, Cooking and Eating Coconut WORMS in Peru

The rich Amazon region is chock full of many weird and wonderful gastronomic delicacies, but perhaps none is more bizarre than suri, a type of worm that’s a highly popular, speciality in Peru, long upheld by native populations for its delicious and nutritious properties. 
These Amazonian grubs are the larvae of the palm weevil, known as a cocotero in Peru or a larva de palma in Spanish. They are commonly found residing in the aguaje tree, a plant that is extremely widespread throughout the Amazon, to such an extent that it’s a commonly recognised emblem of the entire region. The ubiquity of the aguaje palm explains in turn the prevalence of suri, as the tree serves as their principal habitat and source of food.
