Packed with vitamins and antioxidants, foods like avocados, blueberries, and wheatgrass fall into a category known as superfoods. Now, health food enthusiasts are getting excited about a relatively new superfood that may be more nutritionally dense than any other: cockroach milk.
While a little hard to swallow, the unusual milk crystal produced by certain cockroaches has more essential protein and amino acids than just about any other superfood. According to a study of cockroach milk done in 2016, the substance is “like a complete food,” with nearly four times the protein found in ordinary cow’s milk.
While some health food fanatics may be tempted, trying to milk a common household cockroach will not produce any of this nourishing superfood. There is only one specific type that produces milk crystals: the Pacific Beetle cockroach.
