We all know eating meat and dairy isn’t good for the planet, so to
celebrate World Environment Day on June 5, ISRAEL21c made a special
Tayim episode: roasted grasshoppers in zaatar oil.

It’s a recipe that combines the best of Israel — a great new product farmed in Israel at the world’s first commercial grasshopper farm, and
that classic Israeli flavor combination, zaatar and olive oil.

Experts have been telling us for years that eating meat and dairy isn’t
good for the environment. According to a study last year in Science
Magazine, if we stopped consuming meat and dairy, global farmland use
could be reduced by more than 75 percent, and we could still feed the
world.

Before you turn up your nose, think on this: grasshoppers are a
sustainable food source rich in protein and amino acids, and with very
low saturated fat and cholesterol.

They are kosher and Halal, have a very low water footprint, have low greenhouse gas emissions and zero-waste farming. They can also be
produced all year round.

The recipe is below. And yes, believe it or not, everyone who tried it
loved it! Click on the video to find out more.
