There was once a time when the likes of caviar, oysters and quinoa were sneered at by high society and left for the peasants to consume. Well look at them now (not the peasants, they're long gone) – luxurious gourmet delights!
Edible insects are next in line to join this culinary dynasty, and we all know that the early bird catches the worm, or in this case – the grasshopper.
Despite the slightly Disney-inspired name, Jimini's Edible Grasshoppers aren't some novelty foodstuff – they're exceedingly delicious and a fantastic source of healthy nutrients.
Better still, these chirpy little fellas are super sustainable and easier on the environment than most traditional foods. They require much less space, water and food to produce and they release 99% fewer greenhouse gases than cows.
"Made a great product, cannot comment on taste as this was a gift for somebody else."
"Wow! Never thought I would be eating grasshoppers. Got the paprika straight away then an after taste of walnuts. Very surprised. Love then! "
"Great surprise gag gift for a person that hates all kinds of bugs!"
"Loooooks scrumptious!!! Don't envy the recipient of this Secret Santa gift, lol. Fab service again Firebox, thank you :D"
"Good gift of full grasshoppers, they are massive"
