Abstract: The consumption of grasshoppers and their derivatives is an age-old tradition common in various places in Mexico and other countries, which has recently spread to developed nations. The consumption of different insects, and in particular of grasshoppers, constitutes an important source of protein within the diets of many communities. The traditional collection of grasshoppers for human consumption is done directly from cultivation fields, which are subjected to contaminants of various sorts due to the use of agrochemicals such as fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides, among others. It is well known that various compounds contained in these agrochemicals have toxic, harmful and accumulative effects in human beings. This invention consists of an intensive contaminant-free process for raising grasshoppers and their derivatives for human consumption, from the cultivation of germplasm to the processing of the finished products ready for consumption.
