Of all the other species, the desert locust (Schistocerca gregaria) is perhaps the most common owing to its extensive distribution (North <a href=\"https:\/\/travelfoodatlas.com\/africa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Africa<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/travelfoodatlas.com\/middle-east\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Middle East<\/a>, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/travelfoodatlas.com\/indian-food-dishes\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"4618\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Indian<\/a> subcontinent) and its capability to migrate over long distances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Locusts eaten as food are prepared using different techniques depending on the country, they are most commonly fried, smoked or dried. For example in <a href=\"https:\/\/travelfoodatlas.com\/israeli-food\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"64947\">Israel<\/a> locusts are cooked by adding them to a boiling broth first. They are then cleaned off, rolled in a mixture of flour and coriander seeds, garlic chilli powder, and then deep fried. In <a href=\"https:\/\/travelfoodatlas.com\/mexican-food\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"4664\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mexico<\/a> people consume chocolate-covered locusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Locust dishes prepared by <a href=\"https:\/\/travelfoodatlas.com\/australian-food\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"65711\">Australians<\/a> include locust dumplings, chocolate-covered locusts, and even locust popcorn. Kuwaitis, however, like their locusts baked, and Nairobi cuisine involves grilled locust salad, locusts on skewers and locust kebabs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Origin &amp; Cultural Significance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Locusts are a very niche delicacy and are consumed in several African, Middle Eastern and Asian countries. The consumption of locusts dates back as far as Biblical days, with the Bible Chronicling that John the Baptist consumed locusts and wild honey while he was residing in the wild.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The origin and cultural significance of locusts vary from country to country. For example, in Israel locusts are believed to be the only halal insects in local foods and are considered to be the only living beings that are kosher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2004, swarms of locusts destroyed harvests in specific regions of Australia. Hence, with the aim of battling these locust attacks, people fought back by eating them. The concept of beginning to consume locusts was praised by government workers. In Australia, people term locusts as &ldquo;sky prawns&rdquo; referring to the fact that they are free and are able to fly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kuwaitis, however, consider locusts to be quite nutritious and an energy-efficient source of protein. The older generation of the country prefers to consume their locusts year-round. Hence, these winged creatures are dried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-mv-recipe\"><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"http:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"Recipe\",\"name\":\"Locusts Recipe\",\"author\":{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Travel Food Atlas\"},\"datePublished\":\"2022-03-29\",\"recipeYield\":4,\"image\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/travelfoodatlas.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/03\\\/tfa-holding-image-720x720.jpg\",\"https:\\\/\\\/travelfoodatlas.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/03\\\/tfa-holding-image-720x540.jpg\",\"https:\\\/\\\/travelfoodatlas.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/03\\\/tfa-holding-image-540x720.jpg\",\"https:\\\/\\\/travelfoodatlas.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/03\\\/tfa-holding-image-720x405.jpg\",\"https:\\\/\\\/travelfoodatlas.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/03\\\/tfa-holding-image-735x509.jpg\"],\"recipeCategory\":\"Africa\",\"recipeCuisine\":\"South African\",\"prepTime\":\"PT15M\",\"cookTime\":\"PT2H30M\",\"performTime\":\"PT2H30M\",\"totalTime\":\"PT2H45M\",\"recipeIngredient\":[\"Locusts - 1 lb\",\"Sake - 2 Cups\",\"Soy Sauce - 7 tbsp\",\"Mirin - 1 Cup\",\"Sugar - 2 Cups\"],\"recipeInstructions\":[{\"@type\":\"HowToStep\",\"text\":\"Begin by boiling the locusts for about 1 minute.
