Many insects have nutritional benefits.
Although many people in the Western hemisphere might recoil in terror at the idea of eating the grubs of moths and other insects, it is a common practice around the world. Not only is the practice widespread, eating grubs and insects will provide you with protein, calcium, iron and B-vitamins and can be essential to your survival in the wild. You might also be surprised to learn that grubs can taste like almonds, peanut butter, chicken, prawns and even scrambled eggs.
Instructions
1. Find the grubs in the wild. They can be found in deserts, in the roots and trunks of trees and in soil. Different grubs live in different environments so find out where localized grubs live.
2. Grab a grub and squeeze its head to kill it. Now eat it raw, discarding the head.
3. Cook the grub if you don't wish to eat it raw. Cooking grubs gives them a different texture and may be a more desirable option if they are big, such as the witchetty grub. Cook it evenly on both sides for around 2 minutes, using tongs over a fire or by placing them on a barbecue. Once cooked, eat them as you would any other appetizer.
