EARTHWORMS

GREAT FARE FOR DIETERS

“Ver de Terre”, is a French dish that sounds like an appetite

pleaser, but it may also turn the stomach when translated into English.

Ver de terre is french for earthworms. These little ground creatures are

baked in casseroles or are added to salads after they are well cooked.

It has been said these little creatures offer many benefits to man that

have just begun to be recognized. Yes, they are something of an acquired

taste. As for nutritional value they are low in calories and 70% protein.

The key to making earthworm dishes is to boil them to cleanse them,

then bake them in casseroles or left to the culinary skills of the chef.

They are known to be great for dieters.
