Its better not to eat these locust. Some of them eat poisonous plant.

A delicacy? Not my type of snack, but to each his own I say.

 

[Mugwop]

They contain a lot of protein but aren't they haraam for you people?

The young locusts are Haram but the mature ones are not.

Young ones have no wing eat meat and are Haram

Mature ones ,have wing and eat vegetables and are halal.

What kind of meat is on a locust? My heart skips a beat when people eat batair (partridge). I have eaten ants accidently and can understand why there is ant chutney. Don judge me.

One Day came when Mullah will gave Fatwa that Dogs, Pigs and Donkeys are Halal

 

[Pan-Islamic-Pakistan]

Prophet Muhammad saws ate them in military campaigns and encouraged Muslims to eat them as well. There are authentic hadith about it.

It also serves a practical purpose. Locusts come in plagues which devour all plant life in a given area, causing famine. Therefore, catching and eating locusts reduces famine.

Today most Arabs view them as a healthy, protein-rich food and consume them as a delicacy.
