South African entrepreneur seeks to turn caterpillars into tasty snacks: For many people, particularly from western European backgrounds, the idea of eating insects is still riddled with fear and inhibition

Vesela tried to woo customers with biscuits and protein bars at a recent food fair in Johannesburg’s upmarket Sandton district. Dietitian Mpho Tshukudu said they are a better source of protein than many other foods on the market.
