Dishes featuring grasshoppers and crickets may soon be served up in European homes and restaurants. Grasshoppers were marked as safe for consumption by the European Food Safety Agency on Friday, while the house cricket (acheta domesticus) is being studied as a new source of protein.

Grasshoppers are believed to carry as much protein as a 100-gram piece of chicken tenderloin.

This is the second time that the EU has approved insects as safe for consumption after certifying dried mealworm in June this year.
