MBD eat bugs for lunch!

Rentokil are promoting alternatives to meat as a source of sustainable protein, and insects are the new red meat!

Watch what happened when the MBD team tried these critters out for size!

 

 

The aim of of these 'Pestaurants' that pop up once a year is to encourage you to be more adventurous with your food and promoting the health benefits of an insect rich diet already enjoyed by billions across the globe.

Eating insects (Entomophagy) is recognized by the UN as a viable food source. Eating insects can enrich your diet with higher levels of protein as well as zinc and calcium. What’s more, insects are low in fat - so why not indulge! Did you know that crickets can contain up to 25g of protein per 100g?

Now you tell us - will these be making an appearance on the menu at your next braai?
