Insects, blood and raw brains may not sound very tasty, but they are among the products we need to eat if we want our food to be sustainable and healthy. The startling statement for every glutton, as well as a normal person, comes from a team of chefs and scientists from Denmark.
In 2008, a non-governmental organization called the Nordic Food Laboratory was set up in the Danish capital, involving several Danish top chefs, famous professors from the University of Copenhagen, chef artists, designers and education professionals. Their goal is to better understand the taste and gastronomic potential of Scandinavia.
Almost a decade after its creation, the organization's purpose has changed. Currently, various experts travel the world in an attempt to create a holistic approach to nutrition. One that is healthy does not lead to weight gain and protects the environment.
In modern society, food is becoming increasingly commercialized. We are beginning to lose knowledge of how certain types of food are produced. This is the main problem of sustainable nutrition, said Roberto Flor of Culinary Research at the Laboratory. This is a huge problem and we risk losing knowledge accumulated over thousands of years.
Scientists are trying to find the nutritional potential in every type of product, including insects, blood, fish offal, fermented products that have developed different types of mold. The idea is, by revealing the high nutritional value of certain foods, to restore people's trust in them.
Scientists are currently working on how to make different types of insects - from ants to larvae, more appetizing. The rest of the experiments of Scandinavian scientists are focused on animal blood. They believe that clotted blood can be used as a substitute for eggs, which can help those who have an intolerance to eggs.
Some members of the laboratory go even further, explaining that the potential of feces as a food source should also be explored. The main thesis in their disgusting theory is the fact that young elephants, hippos, koalas, rabbits and pandas eat their mother's feces to introduce beneficial microbes into their digestive system.
Scientists also justify their research by the fact that the Earth is able to feed the current consumption of a maximum of 10 billion people - a figure that will be reached in the next 30 years. Then there will be famine and the inevitable ecological catastrophe. According to them, it is by inventing alternative food sources that the world will be able to survive.

Nutrition Experts: Eat Insects Safely
One kilogram of insects contains about 600 calories, and one kilogram of corn - 320-340 calories. A shocking fact, which is a prerequisite for scientists to advise us to eat insects more often.

Eating Insects - For Vegans And Vegetarians
Insects are known to be a source of protein. In many countries they are used for just that and roasted and fried ants, crickets and other insects are sold on the streets and this has been a tradition for centuries.
