Ua wehewehe ʻia kahi moʻomeheu e nā mea he nui, a ʻo ka meaʻai ka mea ma luna o ka papa inoa.
Ma ka moʻomeheu Western, nui nā mea pono ʻole, me ka nui o ke kō, nā paʻakai a me nā momona, ke ʻano o kā mākou meaʻai. Akā ʻo kekahi mea ʻē aʻe e nalowale ana mai nā meaʻai ʻAmelika, ʻōlelo ka poʻe kākoʻo, pono e hoʻokomo ʻia i ka nui o nā meaʻai a mākou e ʻai ai: nā inike.
ʻOiai ua lōʻihi ka ʻai ʻana i nā pepeke i loko o nā moʻomeheu ʻē aʻe, ke hoʻomaka nei e hopu ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa a me United Kingdom. Eia nō naʻe, mamao loa ia mai ke kumu nui ma nā menus.
Ma muli o ka ʻike ʻole o ka hapa nui o nā ʻAmelika i ka waiwai o ka meaʻai o nā pepeke, ʻaʻole mākou i hoʻohana pono i nā pono a lākou e hāʻawi ai i ke olakino kanaka a me ke kaiapuni ma ke ʻano he kumu meaʻai.
I ka makahiki 2013, ua hoʻopuka ka United Nations i kahi hōʻike e manaʻo ana he ʻelua piliona kānaka o ke ao holoʻokoʻa e ʻai ai i nā inike ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o kā lākou meaʻai a koi aku i nā moʻomeheu like ʻole o ka honua e hoʻomaka e ʻai i nā iniseti i mea e hoʻonui ai i ka palekana meaʻai.
No laila, inā he olakino maikaʻi nā iniseti, no ke aha e ʻai ʻole ai kekahi mau mea ʻai meaʻai - ʻoi aku ka moʻomeheu Western - i ka entomophagy a ʻai ʻole i nā iniseti no ka ʻai?
ʻO ka mea keakea nui loa ʻo ia ka mea "eww".
Ka papa o nā mea
ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o nā pepeke no mākou
ʻO nā ʻōpala, nā ʻōpala, a me nā arachnid hoʻi i ʻoi aku ka nui o ka protein, paona no ka paona, ma mua o nā kumu ʻiʻo maʻamau. Loaʻa iā lākou ka nui o ka fiber, nā huaora a me nā minela e hoʻohālikelike ai i ka waiwai waiwai o kekahi mau kīʻaha, huaʻai a me nā mea kanu.
Ua ʻike ʻia kahi noiʻi hou mai ke Kulanui o Wisconsin-Madison i ka hopena o ka ʻai ʻana i 25 grams i kēlā me kēia lā o ka pauka cricket holoʻokoʻa - i hana ʻia i muffins a haʻalulu - ma luna o ka microbiota ʻōpū o ke kanaka, a i ʻole kā lākou mau iniseti i loko o ke kino e hiki ke hoʻololi i ka ʻano holoʻokoʻa o ke kanaka. . olakino.
Ma ka ʻike ʻana he kiʻekiʻe ka nui o ka protein a me ka fiber i loko o ka crickets, ua ʻike nā mea noiʻi ua hoʻoulu ʻia ka hoʻololi ʻana i ka meaʻai i ka ulu ʻana o ka bacteria probiotic a hoʻemi i kahi ʻano plasma e pili ana i ka mumū ʻino. ʻOiai he 20 wale nō ka poʻe i hoʻopaʻa ʻia, ua hoʻoholo ka poʻe noiʻi e hiki i nā noiʻi hou ke kōkua i ka hōʻoia ʻana i kā lākou ʻike mua ʻana "ʻo ka ʻai ʻana i ka ʻokiʻoki hiki ke hoʻomaikaʻi i ke olakino ʻōpū a hoʻemi i ka mumū ʻōnaehana."
Ke manaʻolana nei ka mea kākau alakaʻi o ka haʻawina, ʻo Valerie Stull, e loaʻa ka kaulana i ka ʻai ʻana i nā pepeke ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa.
"Ua pili loa ka meaʻai i ka moʻomeheu, a ʻo 20 a i ʻole 30 mau makahiki i hala aku nei ʻaʻohe mea i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i ʻai i ka sushi no ka mea ua manaʻo mākou he mea hoʻopailua ia, akā i kēia manawa hiki iā ʻoe ke kiʻi iā ia ma ke keʻena kinoea o Nebraska," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia ma kahi ʻōlelo e pili ana i ka ao ana.
ʻOiai ʻaʻole i loaʻa nā iniseti ma ka hapa nui o nā keʻena kinoea, ua lanakila ka poʻe i ko lākou hopena ʻōpū mua ma hope o ka ʻai ʻana i nā iniseti no nā kumu like ʻole.
ʻO Summer Rayne Oakes, he meaʻai meaʻai laikini i aʻo i ka entomology a me ka ʻepekema kaiapuni ma Cornell University a ma hope i hoʻokumu ʻia ʻo Homestead Brooklyn, ʻōlelo ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻo ka hapa nui o nā poʻe e makemake e hoʻokaʻawale ʻia mai kā lākou meaʻai.
"ʻAʻole mākou e hele i nā hale kūʻai a ʻaʻole mākou i ʻike i nā moa me nā poʻo a me nā wāwae i waiho ʻia," i haʻi aku ai ʻo Healthline. "ʻAʻole hiki i kekahi poʻe ke mālama i ka iʻa me ka maka, no laila hiki ke hoʻomaopopo ʻia ʻo ka enuhe palai a i ʻole ka ʻokikika i ʻoi aku ka nui o ka mālama ʻana. »
ʻO ia ke kumu e hiki ai i ka pauka a me ka palaoa cricket, e like me nā mea i hoʻohana ʻia ma nā hoʻokolohua Wisconsin, ke ʻano mua e kōkua ai i ka hoʻopau ʻana i nā iniseti iā lākou iho. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Oakes, ua ʻike mua ʻo ia i nā iniseti i hoʻohui ʻia i loko o nā huahana i hoʻomākaukau ʻia: nā ʻuala tōmato, ka palaoa, nā mea i kālua ʻia, nā pahu, nā cereals a me nā kuki.
ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, nui ka poʻe i ʻai i nā pepeke ma nā ʻano like ʻole me ka ʻike ʻole.
He mau alakaʻi ko ka US Food and Drug Administration no ka hoʻoholo ʻana i ka nui o nā ʻōpala a me nā ʻāpana pepeke i ʻae ʻia i kāu meaʻai me ka ʻole o ka inoa ʻana iā lākou he mea hoʻohui.
E like me kā Layla Eplett kākau moʻolelo meaʻai: ʻepekema ʻAmelika, “E ʻai ana paha kekahi kanaka ma kahi o hoʻokahi a ʻelua paona o nā nalo, nā ilo, a me nā pepeke ʻē aʻe i kēlā me kēia makahiki me ka ʻike ʻole. »
ʻO kahi protein ʻōmaʻomaʻo ʻē aʻe
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Kauka Rebecca Baldwin, ke kaukaʻi o ka entomology ma ke Kulanui o Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, i ʻōlelo ʻia nā holoholona liʻiliʻi i mālama ʻia ma ke ʻano he meaʻai - i kapa ʻia ʻo "microlivestock" a i ʻole "mini-livestock" - e pāʻani i kahi kuleana i ka palekana meaʻai, mālama kaiapuni a ʻokoʻa waiwai.
"He mea pono loa kēia ma nā kūlanakauhale kahi e ulu ai nā arthropods ma nā wahi liʻiliʻi i loko a kokoke i nā hale," i haʻi aku ai ʻo Healthline. "E like me ka mōʻaukala, hiki ke ʻohi ʻia nā iniseti mai ka nahelehele, ʻoi aku hoʻi i kekahi mau kau pua. »
Ma muli o ka liʻiliʻi o ka liʻiliʻi o nā ʻōpala a koi i nā kumuwaiwai liʻiliʻi e ulu ai, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ko lākou hopena i ke kaiapuni ma mua o ka mahiʻai ʻana i nā mammal maʻamau, e lilo lākou i mau moho maikaʻi no kahi kumu meaʻai honua, wahi a Baldwin. No ka laʻana, ua like ka hoʻololi ʻana o ka meaʻai i hoʻomoʻa ʻia no nā anuhe a me nā moa, me 30 a 40 paona ʻiʻo no ka 100 paona o ka meaʻai, wahi āna.
Hōʻike pū ʻo Baldwin e hoʻomaka ana nā kānaka e komo i ka entomophagy.
Ke hoʻomohala nei kahi hoʻomaka Kanada i kahi mahiʻai kikī countertop kahi e hiki ai i nā ʻohana ke ulu i nā ʻokiʻoki no ka meaʻai. ʻO kahi hui e kapa ana iā ia iho ʻo The North American Coalition for Insect Agriculture ke hoʻopaʻapaʻa nei i ka FDA e noʻonoʻo i ka kuke ʻana i nā pepeke he ʻoihana.
Ma ke Kulanui o Florida, kahi e aʻo ai ʻo Baldwin, nā papa e like me Etymology 101 - "Bugs and People" - hāʻawi i kahi hōʻikeʻike o ka kuke ʻana i nā iniseti i kēlā me kēia kau a hōʻike i ka maʻalahi o ka hoʻokomo ʻana i nā iniseti i kāu ʻai i kēlā me kēia lā.
"Hiki iā ʻoe ke kūʻai i nā mea ʻai a me nā ʻokiki ma nā hale kūʻai holoholona," wahi āna. “Hiki iā lākou ke hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻia a kuke ʻia. »
Mākaukau e ʻānai i nā pepeke?
Inā makemake ʻoe e hoʻomaka i nā iniseti hiki ke ʻai ʻia, nui nā koho i loaʻa.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Bill Broadbent, ka pelekikena o EdibleInsects.com, ʻo kāna mau mea kūʻai mai nā mea kūʻai aku i ka meaʻai a hiki i ka poʻe bodybuilders, ka poʻe e ʻimi nei i nā meaʻai moʻomeheu a me nā mea ʻai meaʻai e ʻimi nei i nā mea ʻokoʻa i nā holoholona momona momona.
Eia nō naʻe ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, ʻaʻole pono ka mea kūʻai aku e hoʻomaka e ʻai i nā ʻeleʻele a i ʻole nā ilo mopane, wahi āna.
"ʻO nā ʻōpala ʻai ka paʻakikī ʻai nui loa o ko mākou manawa," haʻi ʻo ia iā Healthline.
ʻO nā mea punahele ʻekolu a Broadbent he ʻeleʻele, Manchurian scorpions a chapulines, a i ʻole nā ʻūhini ʻala mai Mekiko.
"Hoʻohana ʻia nā ʻeleʻele ʻeleʻele e pani i ka lemon a me ka lime i nā ʻano ʻano he nui no ka mea he ʻono citrus ikaika lākou, kahi crunch maikaʻi, a nānā maikaʻi ko lākou kala ʻeleʻele," wahi āna. "Eia kekahi, he liʻiliʻi lākou ʻaʻole like lākou me nā iniseti. »
Inā makemake ʻoe e lawelawe i kahi kīʻaha poina ʻole i kāu pāʻina ʻaina e hiki mai ana, paipai ʻo Broadbent iā Manchurian Scorpions. "ʻO ka mea mua, he moʻo huelo ʻawaʻawa lākou, no laila ke nānā aku nei lākou," wahi āna. "Akā, ʻālohilohi lākou i ka pōʻeleʻele ma lalo o kahi kukui ʻeleʻele a makemake nā mea āpau e ʻike i kēlā. »
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Baldwin, aia ma kahi o 500 mau ʻano pepeke i ʻai ʻia ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa, a ʻo 200 ka mea i manaʻo ʻia e ʻai ʻia ma Mekiko. Ma kahi kokoke i ka palena, ma nā kūlanakauhale e like me San Diego a me Los Angeles, hoʻomaka nā hale ʻaina Mekiko-themed e hāʻawi i nā kīʻaha insect ma ka papa kuhikuhi.
"Ke nānā ʻoe i ka ʻai ʻana i nā pepeke a puni ka honua," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia, "ʻo nā pepeke i hoʻopau nui ʻia ʻo ia ka mea i loaʻa i nā helu he nui, ʻo ia hoʻi nā pepeke kaiapili e like me nā pi, nā nalo a me nā nalo, a me nā ʻūhini lele a me nā cicadas periodic. ”
No Oakes, ʻo ka mealworm - a i ʻole ke ʻano larval o ka pipi ʻeleʻele - ka mea maʻalahi loa e kuke a ʻai.
"Hiki iā ʻoe ke kālua iā lākou a i ʻole ke kāʻei, a lawe maoli lākou i nā mea ʻono a pau āu e kuke ai," wahi āna. "I kekahi manawa ua hana au i nā meaʻai meaʻai, Rice Krispies."
ʻO James Ricci, he entomologist a me ka mea hoʻokumu a me ka luna ʻenehana nui ma Ovipost, kahi hui e hana ana i nā ʻōnaehana mahiʻai automated, i ʻōlelo ʻia he "virus gateway maikaʻi."
"He mea maʻalahi loa lākou e hoʻokokoke a aia kekahi mau lima maikaʻi o nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo noʻonoʻo maikaʻi," wahi āna.
No ka ʻokikiki ʻono a ʻono, lawe ʻo Ricci i kāna ʻokiki maloʻo holoʻokoʻa a holoi iā lākou i loko o kahi colander e wehe i ko lākou mau wāwae ʻoʻoleʻa. Hana ʻo ia iā lākou a hoʻolei iā lākou i loko o ka vīnega meli ma mua o ka ʻai ʻana iā lākou i loko o ka ʻaila ʻoliva i hoʻomoʻa ʻia. Ma hope o ʻekolu a ʻelima mau minuke o ka palai ʻana, hohola ʻo ia iā lākou ma luna o kahi pepa bakena a hāʻawi iā lākou i kahi liʻiliʻi o ka meli ma mua o ka hoʻomoʻa ʻana iā lākou ma 225 degere no 15 a 20 mau minuke.
"Hele maikaʻi kēia mau ʻokiʻoki serrano me kahi slaw Carolina maikaʻi a i ʻole iā lākou iho ma ke ʻano he mea ʻai," wahi āna.
