What has crunchy eyes, adobo seasoning, and are Cambiati clean? Grasshoppers and crickets of course! These insects are more nutritious than beef, chicken, and pork! They have a high amount of vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin C, and even protein!! Grasshoppers and crickets are made up of about 80% protein (wow). Additionally, they are a complete protein source, which means that they contain all of the amino acids.  They are also rich in fiber, magnesium, zinc, calcium, and omega-3 and omega-6 acids. These insects are easy to digest and thus, improve digestion. Eating crickets help foster the natural bacteria in your gut, which also reduces inflammation. Are you craving a nice crunch? Then look no further because eating these provide the most satisfying crunch! Another benefit of eating these insects is that they are environmentally sustainable!
