COCKROACH MILK COULD BE THE NEXT BIG SUPERFOOD
Are you ready for the new superfood? Are you sure?
Apparently milk from a type of lactating cockroach might be the next big superfood. Yes, you heard right ... lactating cockroaches.
Seems the Pacific beetle cockroach is unique because it gives birth to live baby cockroaches instead of laying eggs. This mama cockroach then feeds its babies a milk that crystalizes in the baby bugs' stomachs. Scientists from India, France, Japan, Canada and the National Institutes of Health in America analyzed these crystals and found that just one single cockroach milk crystal contains more than three times the energy of the same amount of buffalo milk.
The cockroach milk is supposedly super nutritious and contains all of the essential amino acids, plus carbs and lipids.
Bet you can’t wait to get some.
