Insect Ice Cream

21-11-2024 15:00

One ice cream shop in Cape Town, South Africa, is making a special ice cream. It makes the ice cream from maggots.

First, people make juice from the maggots. They put in normal ice cream ingredients like sugar and cocoa. They put all of it in an ice cream machine. Then they sell the maggot ice cream.

One person says that this is good for the planet. Normally, people throw away insects. However, they use the insects to make food.

A professor says that not all people like this ice cream. They do not like that it is from maggots. They prefer normal ice cream.

Some people try the new ice cream. They say that it is good. The business wants to grow. It wants to have shops around the world.

Difficult words: maggot (a baby insect), ingredient (a part which makes a food).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

What is the process of making maggot ice cream as described in the text and what are some reactions to it?
