Description
In this episode, we chat with Foo Mao Sheng, an Entomologist from the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum (NUS). He shares with us how he got started with eating edible insects after trying his first bamboo worm from Thailand as a protein replacement, as well as the history of entomophagy.
Join our hosts Movin and Sankar as they try silkworm pupae, grasshoppers, crickets and superworms live (don’t worry, they’re SFA-approved!).
