According to the baker’s research, his creations may well indeed be far more nutritious than anything you’d see knocked up on GBBO.

Insects such as termites, for example, are said to contain considerably more protein per kilogram compared with beef. Caterpillars meanwhile, may contain 20g more protein per portion than salmon, 30g more than pork, and 263g more than tofu.

But if you’ve managed to shake off your fears of eating creepy crawlies, there may still be one catch—insect flour, according to Barthelm, is proving to cost 100 times more to produce than the plain variety.

So while an innovative idea, bug cakes may not be flying into a bakery near you, just yet.
