Bee larvae (bee larvae) - Hachi no Ko

Japanese: ハチの子(蜂の子) - はちのこ
Bee larvae (bee larvae) - Hachi no Ko
The term refers to wasp larvae, but also refers to pupae and newly hatched young wasps. It has long been eaten in Nagano Prefecture and elsewhere, mainly Japanese hornets (giant wasps), but also giant hornets, honeybees, and paper wasps. They are fried in a frying pan and sprinkled with salt, or simmered in a sweet and spicy sauce. Mixing the simmered larvae with freshly cooked rice is called "bee larvae rice," and is considered the most delicious insect food in Shinshu, including the Ina region's Zazamushi (larvae of caddisflies and other insects). Canned wasp and honeybee larvae are available, with 15.7g protein, 5.7g fat, 35.7g carbohydrates, and 6.7mg iron (all per 100g).
