## The World of Insect Edibles | Trends by The Hustle

October 29, 2019

**What you need to know**

- Despite a stigma, as much as 80% of the world already eats insects. That number is expected to grow as people turn to insects because of their high protein content and relatively low environmental impact.  

**How you can capitalize**

- **Education and Marketing:** If brands are able to smash through the stigma, they will be able to create an exponentially larger market.
- **New product lines:** Companies that create new arenas for bug grub will find an unsaturated market.
- **Entertainment:** Ever heard of Wine and Bug Tastings? They exist.

Remember when lobster was a “poor man’s food”? How times have changed. Because of their high protein content and low environmental impact the candidate for the “next lobster” may be surprising: insects.
