A Surprising Superfood Arises What if cockroaches, rather than cows, vegetables, or even lab-engineered proteins,
Were the source of the world’s most nutrient-dense superfood? Strange as it may seem, scientists have found that.
The protein crystals in cockroach milk—which is generated by the Pacific beetle cockroach (Diploptera punctata)—are four times more nutrient-dense than those in cow’s milk.
This finding has generated attention worldwide because to rising concerns about sustainability, food security, and alternate protein sources. Could the next big thing in human diet be cockroach milk?
Cockroach Milk: What Is It? The Pacific beetle cockroach does not lay eggs as other cockroaches do. Rather, it produces living offspring and feeds them a nutrient-rich bodily fluid discharge.
This secretion is a highly concentrated source of nutrition because it includes milk protein crystals that are filled with vital elements.
