what will be the most profitable insects to farm and distribute in order to feed humanity in the upcoming years? im trying to get in on the ground floor here but need some opinions.

things to take into account:
>nutrient density
>cost of overhead, equipment, feed etc
>palatability
>licensing, testing, FDA approval etc

thanks

>>23870063
like an ant-puree? ant-bars? singular ants dont cut it compared to things like grub worms or grasshoppers

crickets, locusts

they almost all have 80g of protein per 100g of cricket.

grasahoppers/crickets, with seasoning they even look tasty, like prawns arent exactly good looking either but they came exceptable

Yea ant puree. I unironically would never eat grubs or grasshoppers, as things like clams gross me out eventhough ive tried all 3. Guts and tripe are nasty. For some reason ants are just "cleaner" less juicy and gross me out way less. Theyre also already used at that Michilin star Mexican restaurant and i hear they add almost a chocolate flavor

i would also eat tarantula leg

Consuming insects is still less efficient than just eating vegetables, idk why people is seriously taking into account eating insects.

Is it because they can process biomass from not edible plants (like grass) and make it edible for humans just like cows?

[Anonymous No.23870257]

>>23870203
actually they still look gross but I can imagine eating them and treating them just like i treat prawns, crabs, lobsters

occasional bug bar could be unironically beneficial for many people who only eat clean meat and no animal organs as there's not that much nutrients besides protein in clean meat

[Anonymous No.23870277]

>>23870233
animal protein alone is the reason
okay not alone, the reason you mentioned is def also a plus on top of that they are very veeeery easy to produce and they might also help you fertilize land on the way to mass production

Mealworms and maggots unironically

I assume it's because they're cheap and quick to farm, and peta doesn't care about them.

yup, eat your cow, horse and pig livers boys. It's important.

I feel sick looking at that, why are we regressing to eating insects like starving niggers in Africa.

Why, how is this different from a delicacy like a lobster or shrimps feeding on pajeet's waste

no one will know that it's from insects, itll just be a powder in the onions faucet, with 100g protein, 20g fat, etc... all the faggot jewish lefty journalists will put out articles like 'right wing conspiracy says onions faucet is made of bugs'

Hb-Fe is the best way to take up iron. Especially important for pregnant women, Hb-Iron intake is linked to grey matter respectively it's deficit during pregnancy is linked to a lower IQ in children.

Probably something big like June beetles but they probably require a lot of feeding. Cicadas would be a good choice if you could find a way to speed up the molting process since they grow big and don't require anything while they are molting
