  1. This #NHK video on farming #silkworm for food really surprised me, never heard about it before.

    #Fibroin (silk protein) is extracted from silk cocoon fibres: just a small amount of it gives food a softer, moister texture, and helps to bring out the flavour of other ingredients. (relevant part starts at 9:00, but it is worth watching the whole video, only 13 min long)

  2. Cannot resist to share some #NHK videos I saw recently on this subject.

    Many people are happy and grateful to have #insects as part of a satisfying meal. I was surprised that some insects (e.g. palm weevil) are eaten for their high fat content (60%).

    A very interesting video (28 min long).
