Incredible Edible Insects: An Introduction to Cooking with Bugs!

Did you know that millions and millions of people around the world eat bugs? It’s true! Insects have long been both a delicacy and an everyday ingredient in countries like Mexico, Brazil, Ghana, Thailand and China and are gaining popularity in countries like the Netherlands, Australia and…even the United States! In this unique class, learn the basics of edible insects and why they might just be the protein source of the future.

Then, get hands-on with two recipes – one featuring dried edible insect products and one featuring fresh products raised right here in Maine. By uncovering the immense potential of edible insects, this interactive program aims to spark curiosity and appreciation for sustainable food sources. Participants in this program will have the opportunity to taste many different types of insects and try their hand at cooking with them.

All ingredients, supplies and recipes will be provided. Please note that people who are allergic to shellfish may also be allergic to insects.
