Japanese cricket food is so popular, why are insect snacks so popular with the public?

After thousands of years of human society, there are more and more dishes on the recipe, and the scope is getting wider and wider. The Chinese's recipes really include flying in the sky, climbing on the ground, swimming in the water, with a variety of patterns and deliciousness. There are still some ethnic minorities in the southwest of our country who eat bugs.

Bugs, this food is not too popular. In addition to the southwestern region of Japan, on the other side of the Japanese border, insect foods are also popular, and cricket snacks are very popular in Japan. So why are these bug-like foods so popular?

I think it is none other than the following reasons, firstly, because the food of insects is relatively new, and secondly, the food of insects is actually very nutritious. <>

As we mentioned above, the Chinese recipe is all-encompassing, and it can be said that it is the most abundant menu in the world, but bug-like foods are still rare in the Chinese menu. The food of insects is new to us, so it is almost new to foreigners. This shows that the development of insect food in the world has not been very long, and there are not many people who have eaten it, and more people have a curiosity or rejection of him, because no one has ever eaten it.

No one knows how it tastes, but as long as one person eats it and thinks it tastes good, then it will cause countless people to eat it too. This is also the reason for the popularity of Japanese cricket food. <>

The bug has an extremely high protein level, and it is only because humans turn a blind eye to him that few people are able to find his high nutrition. But now that his taste has been accepted and more and more people like him, it is only natural that his high nutritional properties have been discovered. It's delicious and nutritious, there aren't many such foods, and who won't like money, and they still eat relatively little, and they are novelty foods that have not been eaten before.

Bugs are among the best in terms of nutrients, even richer than some lean meats. Modern people pursue delicious food on the one hand, and nutrition on the other hand, and the popularity of insect food is not incomprehensible. <>

Maybe it's fresh. After all, there are very few insect foods, so once cricket food is launched, everyone can't help but be curious to try it.

Some people may think that this snack is more delicious, and then it tastes better and tastes more delicious, so they like this snack, but most people can't accept it.

I think on the one hand, the reason is that people are generally willing to try something new because of the curiosity, and on the other hand, the snacks of insects are relatively high in protein.

The reason for the popularity of Japanese cricket food is that the Japanese believe that insects like crickets may become very valuable protein in the future**. With the development of society, environmental problems such as global warming have also emerged one after another or become increasingly serious. In this situation, some began to worry about the end of the world.

Because of this concern, some foods that were considered "doomsday food" began to emerge and became popular. What these so-called "doomsday foods" have in common is that they can be stored for a long time, are small in portions, but are nutritious, and most importantly, they are full. <>

Recently, there has been a "doomsday food" in Japan, that is, cricket food. The so-called "cricket food" is to dry and grind crickets into powder and then add them to ordinary foods, such as biscuits, bread, senbei and other things. These foods have a long shelf life and are nutritious at the same time.

In the eyes of many people, cricket food is considered to be a hunting food, but after its launch in Japan, this type of food has achieved very good sales results. For example, Shikishima Bread Company sold out 100 cricket cakes in less than an hour after releasing them in June. <>

In response to the fact that cricket food is so popular, some people have analyzed it. According to the analysis, cricket food is likely to become popular in the future. Because if a major disaster occurs on the earth, which is under increasing pressure, human food will become scarce.

In times of food shortage, protein-rich insects such as crickets can become a very important protein "supply channel" for the human body. That's why cricket food is so popular in Japan. In addition to this, raising crickets in captivity does not have much impact on the earth's natural environment.

When it comes to the edibility of crickets, there is nothing to worry about. A few years ago, some countries began to breed edible crickets, and even the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations has promoted the relevant breeding technology for cricket farming. In addition, Costa Rica has recently agreed to the cultivation of food crickets, allowing not only the sale of cricket-related products domestically, but also the export of such products.

The emergence of cricket foods such as cricket pasta, cricket biscuits, cricket potato chips, etc., shows that cricket food is gradually becoming more diverse, and it also shows that the prospects of this type of food are very good. However, at this stage, there is still a problem of high breeding cost in cricket breeding, so if you want to further promote cricket food, the problem of breeding cost is bound to be solved first.

I think it has something to do with the Japanese economy, and the crickets are said to taste like salty shrimp cakes, and they are delicious. But people may not have the money to buy shrimp cakes.

Because this food tastes good, and it is a different brand of biscuit, it opens up many people's novel ideas.

The main reason is that I have never seen this kind of food, and the way to eat it is relatively novel, which also attracts many young people who want to try it.

For most people, what they usually eat is something more conventional, that is, something that people often eat, but there are also people who eat something strange because they are curious or feel fresh. When it comes to crickets, many people are familiar with them, but they have hardly heard of anyone eating crickets. But in Japan, there is an incredible phenomenon that cricket food is very popular, and some people say that it may become a very popular trend in the future, so can you accept such food?

If there was such food, would you eat it?

1. Crickets are a very common insect and are found in many places.

Crickets, also known as crickets, are often heard in the grass in the summer, and this insect is widely distributed, and some people will catch it for fun. So someone will fight crickets. This insect is bad for crops, it destroys the rhizomes of the croppers.

As a result, they are also very destructive to some crops.

Second, some people in Japan make crickets into food to eat, and they are very popular.

This is an insect in the first place, but it is used by some Japanese people to make food, and after they dry these insects, they do not become powder, and some food is very popular, and it is sold out in a short period of time, so some people speculate that this seems to be a very popular trend. Of course, for most people, eating crickets is a very disgusting thing.

3. I believe that most people cannot accept such food.

Although it is said that turnip greens have their own love, I believe most people are very disgusted by eating crickets, because these insects are still very disgusting to eat. Moreover, eating these insects casually may also bring certain potential risks to the eaters, and maybe those bacteria will cause disease. Therefore, it is better not to eat these messy things so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to yourself.

I don't know if you have a certain concept of insect food, in my personal concept, insect food is generally very common in these places in Yunnan. In the eyes of the locals, fried silkworm pupa, roasted spiders, snakes, scorpions, locusts, etc. are very common, in fact, insect foods have relatively high nutritional value, and their body is particularly rich in protein. However, there are still many people in China who can't accept this kind of diet, after all, the vegetables and meat we usually eat are relatively common, and it is difficult for everyone to accept some strange diets.

However, in Japan, a company has launched a new food that contains cricket powder, and they make foods such as bread and biscuits from ingredients containing cricket powder. Maybe such a new product will be ignored in China, and some people will even dislike it. But in Japan, the fact that it was sold out after only one hour on the shelves shows that the locals are still very receptive to such food.

If you want to ask what does such food taste like? According to the feedback of the locals, the bread and biscuits containing cricket flour taste a little salty and salty, and the biscuits taste is salty and crunchy. <>

The reason why I will study such foods with brains is because in the early years, there were other countries abroad that studied such foods, and they believed that in the case of food shortages in the future, insects were a nutritional way to supplement protein. Insects like crickets are chosen because they are raised to have a relatively low environmental impact. Cricket powder does contain relatively high nutrients, even if some are placed in food, it will not affect the taste of food at all.

In fact, such cricket powder food can still be reluctantly accepted, after all, cricket is a winged flying insect, not a wriggling body similar to a cicada chrysalis, so in terms of senses, it is still more acceptable to cricket powder food. Moreover, this kind of food is ground into powder and added, and the so-called out of sight is clean, which is also one of the reasons for accepting. However, such foods will not be selected unless necessary.

It's unacceptable, I feel that this kind of thing is really disgusting, and this kind of food is very unsafe to eat in the stomach. It's also particularly unhealthy.

I can't accept this kind of food, I think it's disgusting to eat food with added cricket powder, I won't buy it.

It's impossible for me to accept this product, because this product is very disgusting, it will make people very uncomfortable after eating, and you may get some diseases.

I don't think I'm okay with this food. Because I was skeptical that the food was clean and hygienic.

It shouldn't be a trend, because there are so many edible delicacies on the planet, and crickets are difficult for some people to accept. Therefore, this kind of food should not become a more popular food, but it will be accepted by some people on a small scale. Because there are a lot of disasters now, some people are more worried about the end of the world, so they will buy some food for the end of the world.

One of the characteristics of these foods is that they are shelf-stable and can be stored for a long time.

Once the end of the world actually comes, people can survive on this food that has been stored for a long time. Cricket products are also very popular. Because if it's the end of the world, there will only be bugs underground.

And these bugs are high-quality protein**, so people think that since the end of the world is coming, they should get used to this food in advance. So they're all very interested in food made from crickets.

As a result, the food made from this cricket is very popular among some people. However, it is unlikely that this kind of thing will be popularized on a large scale, because people still have a shadow of eating insects, and people feel that this thing is not easy to popularize. After all, there are so many simple and delicious foods in the world, and people will not choose to eat one kind of bug.

Unless the end of the world really comes. Otherwise, crickets would not have become a staple food for people. In our country, only some ethnic minorities will eat these bugs, and most people will not eat these bugs.

Although these bugs are said to be high-quality protein**, people don't eat them for high-quality protein**.

But on the day of the end of the world, if people don't have a choice, they will probably still eat this bug. Because there is no choice, people probably don't care about food in order to survive. But if the end of the world doesn't come, people still have a lot of options.

There are all kinds of insects living in nature, and with the construction of people's steel forests, the only insects that can be seen in big cities are flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches, and spiders, but there are still a large number of insects living near many vegetation. For example, gnats and crickets and Zhili, etc. These insects have different forms and very different habits.

When it comes to these bugs, I believe many people will be a little scared. Although crickets do not bite, and when it comes to pests, they do not pose a great threat to human life. But crickets love it and can't stop in the dead of night.

Although these insects are not so cute in appearance, many insects are very nutritious, in the words of Bei Ye, they are high in protein and crunchy.

In many parts of our country, there are people who like to eat insects, for example, many people like to eat fried cicada pupa, fried locusts, fried bread worms, fried crickets, etc. These insects are high in protein, and although they have a peculiar taste, they also have many lovers. In some regions, insects are used as raw materials for processed foods.

On August 31, 2021, it was reported that a company sold bread containing dried cricket flour, senbei, biscuits and other processed products, but it was sold out as soon as it was sold.

The reason why these processed products made from insect raw materials are so popular is that some insects are gradually accepted by people, and some insects contain high protein, which is also one of the ways to solve the future food problem. After all, these insects are a good supplement to the nutrients that humans need, and they have a relatively low impact on the environment.

In fact, I personally think that there will be many countries that have the idea of introducing this technology, after all, in many places there is not even food, and if the insects can be processed into food, then at least some people can solve the problem of hunger. But for me personally, I'm still quite unacceptable. Of course, if it has been processed very clean and hygienic, and the technology is relatively mature, I may try it in the future.
