Eating Insects - Behind the News

Food technologists in Europe have come up with something that could change the way we make cakes – bug butter! They’ve found a way to use the oil in insect larvae for cooking, and they’re not the only ones looking for ways to get more insects into our diet.

TEACHER RESOURCES
Students will learn more about why people eat insects, the benefits of eating insects and create a profile of an edible insect. Science - Year 4, 5 & 6.
