It is no longer news that Chinese people eat Cockroaches. In fact, they seem to enjoy it so much from the look of things. But what baffles me the most is the reason(s) foe eating such thing.




You might also be wondering why they enjoying eating Cockroaches. Well, in this article, I'll be highlighting some of the reasons for that.

1. Li says Cockroaches can be cooked for meals and even have health benefits. He further said that they can be used in treating ailments such as sore throats, ulcers and gastric problems. The farmer based in the city of Yibin in China's southwestern province of Sichuan said dried Cockroaches are even in demand from medicine factories.

2. Expanding Chinese cities are generating more food waste than they can accommodate in landfills, and Cockroaches could be a way to get rid of hills of food scraps, providing nutritious food for livestock when the bugs eventually die, and some say they cure stomach illness and beauty treatments.

Well in case you didn't know, China is one country whose people have the tendency to eat almost anything. In recent times, Chinese farmers have gone deeply into the farming of Cockroaches with the belief that it is highly rich in protein.

So while some countries like Nigeria are busy killing Cockroaches around them and wasting their meat, China is busy tapping into the rich nutrients of the Cockroaches.





So don't just eat beans and egg all day in the name of looking for protein. You could join the Chinese people in enjoying some Cockroach meal. And in case you didn't know, the world's largest Cockroach farm is located in China.

They eat some animals raw, thereby inviting some crazy zoonotic diseases.
