00:00Hello, thank you for watching today
00:16Today's topic is eating insects
00:20Insect cuisine is currently attracting attention as a potential alternative to meat in the near future.
00:32In some areas of Japan, insects are eaten as food.
00:38It is a common food in Asia, especially Southeast Asia.
00:43This insect cuisine is now spreading not only in Asia but also in the West.
00:49We investigated this trend
00:53In the Netherlands, there are insect farms.
00:58There, various insects are cultivated in a sterile environment, and in the adjacent kitchen,
01:06A variety of recipes are produced
01:09Apparently, there was a tasting event for mealworm larvae, which are used as fishing bait.
01:17At the tasting event, dishes were served, including one wrapped in roasted larvae.
01:22There were various dishes available, including desserts made with larvae.
01:28Also in the Netherlands, an insect cupcake party was held.
01:39The cupcakes are topped with mealworms, crickets, grasshoppers, and more.
01:46And these insects are not only used as toppings but also kneaded into the dough.
01:54Some people may be reluctant to eat it as a dessert after a meal.
01:59However, participants said the insects didn't taste much like the original cupcakes.
02:09In Australia, sausages are made using insects like maggots and grasshoppers.
02:18This appears to have been developed as a sustainable protein to combat future food shortages.
02:26The sustainability of insects is due to their strong reproductive ability and their abundance of amino acids, fats, vitamins, etc.
02:37Cricket burgers have arrived in America
02:45This burger uses crickets instead of a meat patty and is said to be a hit among customers.
02:53According to people who have tried the cricket burger, the juicy and fragrant crickets combined with the original sauce made it truly delicious.
03:05A US study has found that interest in eating insects has grown significantly over the past three years.
03:14The number of chefs preparing insects in the US has tripled in the past five years.
03:23It is also said that the number of companies selling insects as food is increasing worldwide.
03:31It is said to be attracting attention from health-conscious people as a low-calorie, high-protein diet food.
03:41And the global trend of eating insects is now sweeping Japan.
03:50The Tokyo Mushikui Festival in Japan featured an insect cooking contest and other events.
03:59It seems that we can understand the trends and countermeasures for the coming era of eating insects.
04:05In addition to Western-style insect dishes, there are also insect dishes that have been adapted into Japanese cuisine.
04:14From main dishes to desserts, they serve dishes using all kinds of insects.
04:23The repertoire is impressive
04:27In response to the popularity of these insect foods, it has become easier for ordinary households to eat insects.
04:36Insect breeding kits are also available for sale.
04:40This kit has a structure similar to Arinos and looks like an interior accessory.
04:49This kit is a light for capturing grasshoppers outdoors.
04:54A trap to catch grasshoppers attracted by the light
04:59A container for raising grasshoppers
05:01And it has a four-layer structure of a container that kills grasshoppers by putting them in the refrigerator.
05:07What did you think?
05:12Some people may not like to touch insects.
05:17Experts and researchers are of the opinion that in the event of a food shortage in the future,
05:23It is believed to be a powerful savior.
05:28Why not give it a try?
05:34So, I'll see you around here again this time.
05:39Goodbye
05:47Thank you for watching
