Mopani Worms
Enjoyed by the indigenous population as a delicious snack, Mopani Worms are actually jumbo caterpillars of the Emperor Moth – one of the world’s largest light-bulb botherers. Cooked in brine and baked in the African sun, they make the perfect dinner party surprise, or gift for the friend who’ll eat anything.
Delicious? We’ll leave you to be the judge – our brave taste testers gave them a big thumbs sideways – but pound for pound they have three times the protein content of beef, making them practically a super food.
