Are Cockroaches the Key to Gluten-free Bread Nirvana?

Very intriguing, they did have issues keeping cricket flour gluten-free due to a grain diet. This seems quite plausible and I would give it a try.

Many celiacs have concomitant allergies--arising out of leaky gut. If shellfish is one of your allergies, you might want to think twice about insect based flours--their chitin coatings can trigger the same kind of allergic response.

NO, NO, NO, NO!! - Ugh!

For some of us who are gluten-free with additional food sensitivities and allergies -- how would they guarantee no chitin? Chitin is highly allergenic. I could probably get used to eating bug flour, but not if it was just another allergen. I already can't eat any of the the gluten-free items out there which have soy, or xanthum gum, or peanut oil, or canola oil, or amaranth, or spelt, or anything from the grass family, including bamboo shoots.

A complete thumbs down on this.

I wonder how will the cockroach wheat affect people with a cockroach allergy?

Hate the idea, NO Thank you I prefer to never eat bread again.

Cockroach flour, I'm in.

If you have not, check out a book by Menzel and D'Aluisio, called, "Man Eating Bugs, the Art and Science of Eating Insects", your entire family will love it. If our planet is to survive our inability to self regulate this crazy need to over populate, we will need to find a more sustainable source of protein. Crickets, spiders, ants, grub, there are millions of edibles out there for the taking. Most everyone I know have an eeeuw factor, including myself, but I do want to eat bugs, I would feel less guilty eating bugs than I do chicken. Personally, I would like to eat bugs as a high protein snack food, something less processed than flour for bread. The new chip of the month. Cockroaches have such a bad reputation--could be a hard sell, but I like it! Someone is thinking!

I'd give roach bread a try. I'm sure that it is at least as good as some of the other gluten free bread that I've eaten, and if it is more nutritious, why not!?

No way. The article turned my stomach.

UGH! no thanks, I'll stick with my own home made gluten-free bread which is delicious, contains maize starch,tapioca starch,banana flour and ground flax seed which together pack in quite a few nutrients. Anyway as I see it there is already enough food to feed the world but there is very bad organization which makes industrial nations waste so much and poorer nations die of starvation.
