BUGZZ created the \u2018bitterbal\u2019 with buffalo worms. Everybody in the Netherlands has tasted a \u2018bitterbal\u2019 at least once, why wouldn\u2019t they try the Bitter Balzz? At events where BUGZZ was present, the Bitter Balzz were very popular. Because of the fact that the insects are hidden, it is easier to move beyond prejudices against insects.<\/p>\n<h3>Why insects?<\/h3>\n<p>80% of the world use insects in all their dishes, and insects are, according to BUGZZ and their customers, very tasty and versatile. In recent years, we increasingly hear about insects as a healthier and more sustainable alternative to meat. Insects take up much less space, they need less nutrition and water and produce much less emissions in relation to, for example, the cow. Next to those facts they also contain a lot of calcium! There are many more initiatives in the field of insects, we spotted amongst others a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.horecatrends.com\/en\/10-times-pizza-inspiration\/\" target=\"_blank\">pizza with grasshoppers<\/a> and a spread made of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.horecatrends.com\/en\/mealworm-spread\/\" target=\"_blank\">mealworms<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Who are the people behind BUGZZ?<\/h3>\n<p>Anne-Marie and Patrick, the founders of BUGGZ have different backgrounds, but have one thing in common: they love to cook tasty and adventurous meals. BUGZZ has only been operative for half a year and they have been seen at different festivals like the NeighbourFood Market, \u2018Rollende Keuken\u2019, Best Kept Secret, Amsterdam Kookt and the Amsterdam Woods Festival. Anne-Marie, Patrick and their team try to convince people to try insects as an alternative food source, in an enthusiastic manner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At BUGZZ they create food with insects.
