A stomach churning recipe or a solution to world hunger? A Finnish bakery group on Thursday said it would be the first in the world to offer bread made out of insects at grocery stores. The bread contains dried crickets ground into powder and mixed with flour. Each loaf contains 70 crickets, making up around three percent of the bread's weight. "Mankind needs new and sustainable sources of nutrition," said Juhani Sibakov, innovation director at the Fazer Bakery, one of the largest food companies in Finland, in a statement.
The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations launched in 2013 a programme to encourage the breeding and consumption of insects, saying the cheap and ecological food could feed the nine billion humans expected by 2030.
