What's more is that eating insects and insect-based dairy has become common in western diets. There are now online websites which are providing dehydrated and freeze-dried insects. Varieties like barbecue mealworm, salt and vinegar crickets and garlic chapulines are available.
It seems as if the times are long gone when insect eating was restricted to only a few countries like China, Thailand, Brazil and Ghana. The trend actually seems to be spreading worldwide.
But no matter what, getting people to drink cockroach milk or insect milk might be a tad bit difficult. Irrespective of the claimed nutrition content of entomilk, it will take a quite a while until people accept it and include in their daily diets and lifestyle. This has been accepted by both scientists and producers of cockroach milk. The unappealing name and appearance of cockroach milk and cockroaches respectively are to be credited for the same.
Moreover, experts are still to examine if it is safe to consume cockroach milk. There is a lack of evidence about safety of cockroach milk for human consumption.
Hence, you can still wait before you start dreading the onset of insect milk flooding the markets. While some companies are working towards developing it, there are still many questions left to be answered with respect to cockroach milk or insect milk. There is still time that it becomes a worldwide trend.
