  • While cockroach milk has promising nutritional benefits, its safety and feasibility for human consumption are still under investigation. Scientists are studying whether it can be produced ethically and efficiently before it enters the mainstream food market

The article from Moneycontrol discusses "cockroach milk," highlighting nine key points about this unusual superfood. It explains that cockroach milk is produced by the Pacific Beetle Cockroach, which is unique because it gives birth to live young rather than laying eggs. This milk is considered a superfood due to its high protein content, which is three times richer than that of cow's milk, and contains essential amino acids, fats, sugars, and proteins. The milk is produced in the form of protein crystals by the female cockroach to nourish her offspring. Scientists are exploring its potential as a future food source due to its nutritional profile, although it's not yet available for human consumption. The article also touches on the cultural aversion to consuming insects in many parts of the world, despite the nutritional benefits, and notes that while cockroach milk could be a sustainable protein source, significant research and development are still needed to make it palatable and acceptable for widespread human consumption.
