Now Aldi is weighing up whether to stock products by Yum Bug, which make the insect recipe kits.
Yum Bug founders Aaron Thomas and Leo Taylor, both 28, are competing against other start-ups to get their product on the supermarket’s shelves.
The duo were picked from hundreds of applicant’s to appear on Channel 4’s ‘Aldi’s Next Big Thing’ tomorrow.
I would like to! I have been looking into it. One thing I find problatic is that the life cycles can be long and complicated. Usually we eat the larvae and the adults fly, need space, and can have very specific reproductive needs. In the case of ant eggs, for example, the ants require large amount of underground space to build their colony.
I do plan on trying. I have bred a few insects in the past (crickets for my lizard and fruit flies), but not enough to eat in a meaningful way.
