Locusts and crickets, considered by many to be superfoods, have now been included for the first time in the assortment of a really large food delivery company that covers half the country.

– said buyer Zsófia Vácz-Tóth in response to Pénzcentrum’s inquiry.
In any case, the products are not exactly cheap: 80 g of cricket protein chips costs HUF 890, 20 g of spicy fried crickets costs HUF 2,890, and 10 g of edible grasshoppers with thyme and oregano seasoning costs HUF 2,990.
