13. Grasshoppers
In Mexico, roasted and spiced grasshoppers, known as “chapulines,” are a popular snack. These insects are surprisingly nutritious, packed with protein, vitamins A and C, and omega-3 fatty acids. They also provide calcium, iron, and B12, making them a great high-nutrient, low-calorie option for those looking to stay healthy while managing weight.
Because grasshoppers are low in calories and high in protein, they keep you full and provide long-lasting energy. Their crunchy texture and savory flavors make them a tasty, nutrient-dense snack, and they are becoming more popular as an eco-friendly protein source.
