Mexico boasts a rich tradition of insect consumption, particularly in the states of Hidalgo, Chiapas, Oaxaca, Guerrero, Puebla, and Yucatan. Insects are consumed in the same way as they were before the Europeans settled in these areas. For example, crickets are cleaned and then cooked, and can be toasted then used as a crunchy, protein packed ingredient in a taco. Mexico has some 300 to 550 species of edible insects, more than any country in the world.
