Introduction

Skau, J. K. H., Bunthang, T., Chamnan, C., Roos, N., & Ferguson, E. (2013a). The use of linear programming retrospectively to clarify if an intervention product can optimize the complementary food diet - WinFood study from Cambodia. Tropical Medicine & International Health, 18, 195–196. For the moment, however, our insect future in the west feels rather beige: highly processed products enriched with insect protein powder – as opposed to grasshoppers with guacamole, or the lake fly dumpling stews that Dr Ayieko conjures. And it’s worth stressing that for all the talk of insects as a state-of-the-art protein for westerners, for many people, insects are a food of the present – and an endangered one, too. Increasing the amount of insect powder decreased the lightness. Moreover, it gave a softer texture and a decrease in the hardness, springiness, resilience, cohesiveness, and chewiness of the muffins.

Figure 1 shows mopane worms one of the edible insects that are mostly available in southern Africa. Mopane worms grow in Colophospermum mopane trees that are mostly found in the dry regions of southern Africa, including Angola, Botswana, Eswatini, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
