The Czech Republic has become one of the leaders in the consumption of insects in Europe. A snack made from crickets and insects is becoming an increasingly popular choice among Czechs, with health, sustainability and nutritional value in mind. Czechs are not afraid of unusual insects to diversify their menu, which is proven by the fact that at the moment, roughly 25 percent of people in our country are open to eating them. The insect food industry is experiencing significant growth every year, which is indicative of the growing interest of the public in this alternative form of eating.
The consumption of insects has a long history in the world, especially in Asia, Africa and Latin America, where insects are a common part of the diet. However, it is gradually gaining ground in Europe as a new trend, and the Czech Republic plays a role in it. Czechs are becoming more and more open to eating insects, and many people are starting to see them as a tasty, environmentally friendly and healthy alternative to traditional meat.
One of the most popular insects to eat are crickets. Crickets are a rich source of protein, minerals and vitamins, which are key nutrients for the human body. They are also low in fat and high in fiber, which contributes to satiety and benefits the digestive system. Due to their nutritional properties, crickets are becoming a popular food source for athletes, vegans, vegetarians and anyone who wants to eat healthily and sustainably.
Plus, eating insects is an environmentally friendly choice. Farming insects for food produces much lower greenhouse gas emissions, uses less water and land compared to the traditional livestock industry. Insects can also be farmed on a small scale, contributing to sustainable agriculture and reducing negative environmental impacts.
The growing interest of the public in the consumption of insects prompted Czech businessmen to expand their offer and create new products. Today, various food products from insects can be found on the market, such as dried products, granola, chips, chocolates, but Grig wants to make more food from insects, you can look forward to sausages, pasties, protein bars, sauces and most importantly the insect burger!
