A company called Hargol, which is serving in Israel, has started working to make grasshoppers edible. Dror Tamir, the head of the company, is preparing to launch these insects by adding various sweeteners. Although grasshoppers are already consumed in some Asian countries, it seems that grasshoppers with added sweeteners will appear all over the world.
In his statements on the subject, Tamir said, “Try it. Small candies are full of protein, but not soy or gelatin. Instead, they are made from grasshoppers. The taste of grasshoppers will taste like walnuts, mushrooms, coffee and chocolate, and they will also taste orange and strawberry.” seems hopeful. However, many experts think that it will not be easy to get people to accept the consumption of grasshoppers.
As the world population grows, insect consumption may increase as well.
According to experts, the world population will reach 9.8 billion in 2050. This will make it harder to reach food. Experts think that in case of such an event, insects can also be consumed as a protein source. However, there are still many unknowns at this point. It is not known whether eating insects will cause an allergic reaction to the human body. However, according to some studies, meeting protein from insects can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 99 percent compared to meat production. On the other hand, scientific scientific research has revealed that the protein structure in the insect and milk is very similar, and this is the same for human health. In other words, if not now, maybe 100 years from now, insect consumption may be considered as normal as consuming milk.
It looks like Hargol’s sweetened grasshopper project could turn a new leaf on the consumption of insects. If the presentation of these products is done well and it is not thought that the thing to be eaten is actually an insect, it is thought that the general view in the societies may change. The most concrete developments on the subject will be understood with the release of sweetened grasshoppers.
