The recent approval of insects as food in the EU primarily caused disgust among the citizens, But there are nevertheless entrepreneurs in Germany who are trying their luck with crickets and the like in their products.
An ice cream parlor in Baden-Württemberg now offers “Barbecue Ice Cream”. In addition to the flour from house crickets used, dried insects are used as a topping, but their taste and texture then has to be masked with extracts of wild honey, vanilla and cookies.
High in cholesterol and dangerous viruses
A new EU regulation recently allowed more insects to be used in food, despite being extremely high in cholesterol, and posing a risk of ingesting dangerous viruses. For example, flour from cricket farms contains 545,67 mg cholesterol in 100 g which is on par with egg consumption.
Despite this, the owner of an ice cream parlor in Baden-Württemberg has come up with a bad idea: He has recently been offering a “barbecue” version in his ice cream parlour.
