夏天，冰淇淋或许是我们最喜欢吃的食物了。
在结束被烈日炙烤的漫长一天后，一份刚从冰箱里拿出的冰淇淋送到嘴边，是对我们最有诱惑力的犒赏。
但是，如果你知道这个冰淇淋是用虫子做的，你还会吃得那么香吗？
开普敦初创企业 Gourmet Grubb，它的高档冰淇淋用 EntoMilk 作原料，这种奶制品替代品用热带昆虫黑水虻的幼虫混合制成。
Gourmet Grubb, a Cape Town-based start-up. Its luxury ice cream uses EntoMilk, a dairy alternative made by blending the larvae of a tropical insect known as the black solider fly.
2017 年共同创立 Gourmet Grubb 公司的利亚•贝萨说：“我们打算改变食品行业看待、生产和使用昆虫的方式。”
"We set out to change the way insects were seen, produced and used in the food industry," said Leah Bessa, who co-founded Gourmet Grubb in 2017.
贝萨告诉 CNN 说：“我们做好了遭遇阻力的思想准备，但结果发现人们的接受度非常高。大家都喜欢吃冰淇淋。”
"We were expecting a lot of push back, however people have been extremely open minded," Bessa told CNN. "Everybody loves ice cream."
这款冰淇淋有巧克力、花生酱、圣诞香料等多种口味。贝萨说，EntoMilk 带有 “一点泥土的味道”，给冰淇淋增添了 “浓郁、柔滑的口感”。
The ice cream flavors include chocolate, peanut butter and Christmas spices. According to Bessa, EntoMilk has "a slightly earthy undertone" and gives the ice cream "a rich, creamy taste."
不光是口感，贝萨说昆虫还富含脂肪、蛋白质和矿物质。
But it's not just about the taste -- Bessa says insects are inherently high in fat and protein and minerals.
