What is entomophage?

Entomophagy is the practice of eating insects. It is a common practice in many cultures throughout the world, particularly in parts of Asia, Africa, and South America. Insects are high in protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, and are considered a sustainable and environmentally-friendly food source. Some of the most commonly consumed insects include crickets, grasshoppers, mealworms, and ants. The United Nations has recognized entomophagy as a potential solution to world hunger and has promoted its use as a sustainable source of protein.
