Description
If you want to buy plain locusts, then you fall into one of these two categories of people:
- Those who have already tasted the range of seasoned insects from Jimini’s, who enjoyed them, and who want to take it to the next level
- Those who have a taste for adventure and who want to taste the locust without being influenced by any sprinkling of spices
Either way, congratulations to you. You have beaten ant prejudices and recognised that insects are a credible alternative to traditional consumption patterns. And you are right!
In addition to its pleasant taste and crispy texture, which make it a popular food as an aperitif or in dishes, the locust is also a nutritious and environmentally-friendly food. Indeed, insects are very high in protein (70 g per 100 g). They are also high in fibre and micronutrients (vitamins, iron and omega 3 and 6). Eating insects is eating well.
In addition to their nutritional quality, they are also environmentally-friendly. Their rearing requires much less water, food and space. And as if that wasn’t enough, they produce 99% less greenhouse gas emissions than beef. Equivalent nutritional intake for less consumption of resources, what more could you ask for?
To sum up, Jimini’s Plain Locusts are:
- A healthy, environmentally-friendly and good-to-eat insect
- Easily included in recipes, in a salad or as a dessert
- Raised in Europe and cooked in France
