Eating grasshoppers is highly sustainable and honestly delicious!

Eating insects is traditional in many cuisines around the world. In Oaxaca, Mexico, eating grasshoppers dates back to the Aztecs. The the grasshoppers would be harvested when they hatched during the rainy season to be used as sustainable protein the rest of the year. The insects would be prepared by being roasted and then seasoned with chilies and lime. Today, in Mexico you can find them in a variety of dishes such as tacos, tostadas, or simply eaten on their own!

The raising of insects for consumption has such a small environmental impact compared to other protein sources, such as beef. Not only are they a sustainable resource, they're good for you too! One 3.5 ounce serving of chapulines has between 14-28 grams of protein. That's over half our protein needs for the day.
