it has gotten warm here again*, very warm for the end of september so the crickets are back chirping away which doesn't usually bother me but they have decided to also chirp away in my basement. now that would be ok too as they are harmless to humans but they have also been coming up into the house and besides being noisy they are unusually big! bugs don't usually freak me out much but when they get past about 2 inches and when you are not expecting them to be in your bathroom in the middle of the night it is a little unnerving. so what does this have to do with fitness or nutrition? they are now being considered as the next best protein filled, gluten free, sustainable, paleo- although not vegan- flour! without going into too much detail they are roasted and ground up. already several companies are making protein bars and various cake/cookie blends. by weight the flour has half the amount of protein of chicken or beef although those who are allergic to seafood should not indulge. sustainable is the big word here in talking about protein as the cost (and i don't mean just money) of beef, chicken and pork protein is huge.
i've had so many close encounters lately that for a gluten free flour with protein i will just stick with almond and buckwheat flours- for now.
*too hot for soup recipe and this topic seems to be jumping out all over
