Cockroach Milk
Cockroach milk is derived from the crystals that are produced in the guts of baby cockroaches. These crystals are essential for the growth and development of cockroach infants. The crystals contain as much as three times the energy as cow and buffalo milk, according to researchers.
Although the process of making cockroach milk is slightly more complicated than that of cows, the end result is a product that is incredibly nutritious. The milk is a good source of fat and carbohydrates, and contains all nine essential amino acids. It is not recommended for people with lactose intolerance.
While cockroach milk is not yet available in the dairy aisle, there are plenty of other non-buggy options that are similar in nutritional value. In fact, it might even be good for lactose-intolerant people to add protein powder to regular milk and drink. But, you’ll probably have to pay a professional exterminator for this.
In terms of nutritional value, cockroach milk is similar to cow milk but contains much higher amounts of fat. The milk is also more calorific than cow milk. However, it has no clinical studies to show that cockroach milk is suitable for human consumption. The milk is rich in energy and is one of the few milk alternatives that has the amino acids that humans need.
Cockroach milk is said to contain all of the essential amino acids, and is full of lipids and protein crystals. Because of its crystal structure, it retains nutrients lost during the liquefaction process. Unfortunately, it’s unlikely to hit the shelves in your local grocery store any time soon.
