The practice of entomophagy (eating insects) is most common in the tropics, where insects are bountiful throughout the year due to warm temperatures, says Julie Lesnik, an anthropologist at Wayne State University in Michigan who studies entomophagy. ✅🌴🙌YumCricket recently took a tropical hiatus to explore dive sites and to learn more about chowing down on these healthy critters. We learned that eating crickets can help support the growth of beneficial gut bacteria and could reduce inflammation in the body. Crickets – which belong to the Gryllidae insect family – are seen as a good source of protein, vitamins, minerals and healthy fats. Usually around 60-70% protein by weight. We’ll take that any day!! #protein #proteinpowder #crickets #yumcricket #sustainability #sustainableliving #healthylifestyle #healthyfood #health #superfood #superfoodsmoothie #cooking #baking #shakes #smoothies #desserts #allthingscricket #travel #trysometoday #delicious (at Saint Mary Parish, Jamaica) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7Ej6TknxcL/?igshid=cvucmpg7ryo5
