About Bug marshmallows

Bug Marshmallows are a unique confectionery blend integrating the sustainable protein of edible insects with the classic soft, fluffy texture of marshmallows. Typically made from gelatin, sugar, and powdered edible bugs like crickets or mealworms, their origin is rooted in eco-conscious culinary innovations aimed at promoting sustainable eating. Bug Marshmallows offer a surprising twist to traditional sweets by incorporating high-quality insect protein, vitamins, and minerals, including iron and B12, making them a potential healthful choice compared to conventional candies. However, their sugar content and caloric density mean they should be enjoyed in moderation. Popular in experimental and eco-forward cuisines, they cater to adventurous eaters and those seeking environmentally friendly food alternatives. Bug Marshmallows are an ideal way to introduce entomophagy—the practice of eating insects—into your diet while indulging your sweet tooth.
