The University of Western Ala invented the insect recipe.

Original title: University of Western Ala invented insect recipes
crickets, flies, ants and aphids, which, although not common ingredients in Brazilian recipes, are edible, nutritious and delicious if properly farmed and cooked. A study by researchers at the Federal University of Western Ala plans to specialize in cultivating insects and using them to make delicious dishes.
G1 website went to taste the insect feast and learned about the university's food department. The researchers incorporated insects into traditional Brazilian recipes to make them more acceptable to Brazilians, adding cheese, cassava cakes, chocolate balls, omelettes, all stuffed with insects and crickets. "These insects are crunchy, and they can improve the taste of food." Hafael, a professor in the Department of Food, said.
the study is aimed at breaking down prejudices, as insects could become a must-have in the global diet in the coming decades.
"We can't change people's eating habits, but we show people the importance of insects in their diet. They are high in protein and have important nutrients suitable for human needs. The scholar said.
the impetus for the study was a United Nations study that showed insects could be one of the most important ingredients in the fight against hunger, as current food production patterns do not meet the needs of 9 billion people (projections for 2050).
"We're satisfied that there's nothing left in the food we've tested." Because a lot of food has been cooked, and some people come back to taste it again, some students suggest that these foods be included in the recipes in the university canteen. Paula, a biology student, said.
that not all insects are edible, and that suitable insects are insects farmed in special clean environments. "There are 1.5 million species of insects, only 1,900 of which are suitable for human consumption, and they are cultivated in a special way, not by insects on the road." Scholars say.
currently, there are only two companies in Brazil that can sell insects, but only for animals, not human food materials, and the researchers are buying raw materials from both companies.
addition, beef costs 25 heaos per kilogram, while edible insects cost 200 blacks. Scholars believe that the price of raw materials depends on production and demand, and as production increases, prices will begin to fall.
, one kilogram of flour worm is 120 hea (already dried) and one kilogram of moths is 200 black. "Prices are expensive because there is no competition in the market, and I believe in the future Brazilians will start to accept that residents can farm themselves, so prices will fall."
encouraged insect farming is the smaller impact on the natural environment, according to researchers. Many bugs need only a box to grow into adulthood, low-cost, fast-growing: "The cattle need to be cut down into woodlands, have a larger area of pasture, to feed a lot of feed." They emit polluting gases, causing a greenhouse effect. "
beef is 24 percent protein, insects are 70 percent protein, and they are rich in iron, calcium and other nutrients.
