Entomophagy

Abstract

Edible insects have always been a part of human diets, but in some societies there is a degree of distaste for their consumption. Due to the increasing population and the less food availability, insects had drawn attention as an alternate source of food. Insects are high source of proteins, fats and other essential nutrients. Insects are cheap, sustainable and viable source of nutrients. Insects play valuable roles in sustaining nature and human life by giving diversifying diets and improve food security.
