Insets are Nutritious

This reminds me of when i was young, Termite was a favorite  , after removing the legs and wings, we could eat raw or roast using our "Kinugi - boys grazing jiko".I came to learn the thorax of these bugs is almost purely protein and available in most areas. They were and also are  easy to collect because of their high concentrations around their nests.
Insects are a popular diet staple in many countries. While rural and poor areas are most taken with the idea of eating insects, some countries qualify species as delicacies that come with a hefty price tag due to their effects. Here in Africa, for example, some insects are said to have medicinal as well as spiritual effects if eaten. 

U.N. report published on May said the health benefits of consuming nutritious insects could help fight obesity.
It is noted than over 2 billion people worldwide already supplement their diet with insects.More than 1,900 species of insects are eaten around the world, mainly in Africa and Asia, but people in the West generally turn their noses up at the likes of grasshoppers, termites and other crunchy fare.

The authors of the study by the Forestry Department, part of the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), said many insects contained the same amount of protein and minerals as meat and more healthy fats doctors recommend in balanced diets.
One of the many insects that are eaten in Africa is the desert locust. This insect is eaten especially in Algeria by mostly poor people after being soaked in salt water and roasted under the sun.Another insect that is popularly eaten here in Africa are caterpillars. Many different species are consumed, and each has a distinct form of preparation. One of them is where the legs are removed, and then the caterpillar is deep fried.

Wasps, beetles and other insects are currently “underutilised” as food for people and livestock, the report says. Insect farming is “one of the many ways to address food and feed security”.
The report also said this would be environmentally friendly since most insects arelikely to produce fewer environmentally harmful greenhouse gases than other livestock.
The ammonia emissions associated with insect-rearing are far lower than those linked to conventional livestock such as pigs, says the report.

Insects can be a valuable and plentiful source of nutrition. Edible species can be found in all habitats on earth, and can prove to be visceral for people's existence in many countries. While most of us may find them gross, remember that even the processed foods we consume have a percentage made up of insects! We just don't see them.
