Crunchy Grasshoppers: A Protein-Packed Snack You Need to Try

First, make sure your grasshoppers are fresh and clean. Remove the wings and legs for a better texture. Bring a pot of water to a boil and toss the grasshoppers in for about 2 minutes. This step helps kill any bacteria and makes them safe to eat. Drain and pat them dry. Heat a skillet with a little oil, then fry the grasshoppers until they’re golden and crispy—usually just a few minutes. Season with salt, chili powder, or lime juice for extra flavor. They’re crunchy, high in protein, and honestly, pretty tasty. People in Mexico and Uganda have been enjoying these for ages, and I think more folks should give them a shot! #EdibleInsects #ProteinSnack #SustainableEating #Food #Cooking
