About Chapulines
Chapulines, or grasshoppers, are a popular edible insect in Mexican cuisine, particularly in Oaxaca. These crunchy critters are often seasoned with salt, lime, garlic, and chile powder, offering a unique, tangy flavor. Packed with protein, chapulines are a sustainable source of nutrition and are rich in vitamins such as B12 and minerals like iron and zinc. Their low fat content and high antioxidant levels make them a healthy alternative to traditional snacks. However, they can be high in sodium due to seasoning, so moderation is key for those watching their salt intake. Chapulines are typically enjoyed as a topping for tacos, soups, or even as a standalone snack, showcasing their versatility in culinary applications while promoting eco-friendly eating habits.
