I remember this from a high school science class. There was a girl in my class who was absolutely disgusted and mortified with the idea that grasshopper parts could be in bread. Maybe I’m wrong, but I reckon there’s probably a difference between cooked prepackaged foods and fresh raw foods.

The idea of bug parts in food doesn’t bother me much. Just a little protein. When I was a teenager during harvest, I’d climb on the trucks and stick a handful of wheat germ in my mouth when we were finished harvesting a field. I love the flavor and texture of wheat germ. Naturally, my favorite breakfast cereal is bran flakes.

Side note: if you do this, make sure they’re golden brown, not pink. The pink ones are covered in poison.
