Gourmet food with insects is on the market in Belgium. The atypical European delicacy will be available from today (September 19th) in grocery stores in Belgium. This will make the country the first in the European Union to offer insects as food.
At the end of last year, Belgium was the only country in the European Union that expressed a desire to raise and market food bugs. And today supermarkets are officially filled with insects for the first time.
After declaring insect feeding a problem, the Belgian safety net has helped bring ten species of delicious bugs to market, including worms, locusts and caterpillars.
By law, all individuals or companies wishing to breed and sell insects for food purposes must register. The idea is expected to be welcomed by Belgians and the bug business to be profitable. The Belgians caught fire on insects some time ago.
In 2012, insect cooking courses began to be offered in the country. The initiators of the idea started their endeavor because they were convinced that the ability to properly and deliciously prepare a larva or grasshopper would significantly help to overcome the possible lack of food in the future.
All the bugs we prepare are very appetizing and nutritious. We know that many would disagree with this statement, but you still have to try. Our special seminars will help people overcome their prejudices about eating insects, the authors of the idea believe.
In fact, insects have been part of the traditional food of some tribes for many years. People in Asia, Africa, North and South America eat insects and feel great.
Perhaps this is due to the fact that bugs are a source of protein, like meat from animals or fish. They are also rich in copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, selenium and zinc. According to experts, a person can easily consume nearly 1,400 species of insects.
