Edible Insects And Their Health Benefits

Dragonflies

These mosquito predators are able to fly roughly twenty-five to thirty miles per hour. In Indonesia, a traditional method for catching dragonflies is to dip a reed into palm sap and wave the reed through the air to snag a dragonfly's wing on the sticky sap. Most children are taught how to catch dragonflies. Both Indonesia and China eat dragonflies regularly and they can be found boiled or dipped in batter and fried in coconut oil, then eaten like candy. Most individuals state dragonflies taste like soft-shelled crab. Like many other insects, dragonflies are quite nutritious and include high amounts of protein, and are low in fat (particularly saturated fat), which makes them generally healthy to consume.
