Would Sioux Falls Eat 'Chocolate Covered Cicadas'?

Just about every year Cicadas start appearing in South Dakota in July or August. They are those big noisy bugs that we hear every summer in the midwest.
But this year is a big year because a wave of cicadas will be descending on parts of the nation by the trillions. Every 17 years all the cicadas that have been tunneling and eating make their way above ground to sprout wings, chow down, and mate.
This Big Bunch of Bugs called Brood X was last seen in 2004. And although the Brood X bugs are already appearing out east they won't be coming to South Dakota. Amanda Bachmann with the South Dakota State University Extension Office says no Brood X cicadas live in our state. Good news.

70S. WE HEAT UP BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. JENNIFER: YOU'VE SEEN THEM ONLINE OR IN PERSON. THIS WEEKEND, YOU MAY START HEARING THEM. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE 17-YEAR CICADAS. MANY VIEWERS HAVE BEEN SENDING IN PICTURES OF WHAT THEY'RE SEEING IN THEIR OWN PNEIGHBORHOO AND THIS WEEK, WE EVEN SHOWED YOU A STORY ABOUT HOW TO COOK CICADAS. AND IT TURNS OUT IT'S JUST NOT SOMETHING THAT WILL JUST GROSS OUT YOUR FRIENDS BUT COULD BE GOOD FOR YOUR ENVIRONMENT AND GOOD FOR YOU. JOINING US, SUSTAINABLE FOOD EXPERT FROM JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY, JESSICA FRANZO. THANKS FOR JOINING US. >> GREAT TO SEE YOU. JENNIFER: GREAT TO SEE YOU TOO. EATING CICADAS IS GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT? >> ABSOLUTELY. INSECTS, AS WELL AS PLANT PROTEINS, HAVE A LOWER ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT. WHEN WE THINK. OUR DIETS, WE EAT ANIMAL SOURCE FOOD, COWS, CHICKEN. INSECTS ARE LOWER ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL CHAIN, DON'T PRODUCE AS MUCH GREENHOUSE GASES, DOWN THE CAUSE DEFORESTIZATION. THEY'RE PART OF THE FOREST FOOD HUB AND NETWORK AND DON'T USE ANY WATER SO THEY ARE AN ENVIRONMENTAL SOURCE. IT'S JUS GETTING OVER THE ICK FACTOR. JENNIFER: THAT'S A BIG FACTOR. THE CICADAS UNDERGROUND HAVE BEEN FEEDING ON THE TREES FOR THE LAST 17 YEARS. THEY'RE A HUGE SOURCE OF PROTEIN? >> HUGE SOURCE OF PROTEIN. NOW, IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE THE NUTRITIONAL PROFILE OF THESE THREE SPECIES THAT WE SEE EMERGING, IT DOESN'T REALLY -- IT'S NOT OUT THERE. BUT WHEN WE LOOK AT THE RANGE OF INSECTS AND THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF NUTRITION ANALYSIS DONE ON INSECTS CONSUMED ALL OVER THE WORLD, WHICH IS QUITE COMMON AROUND THE WORLD, HIGH IN PROTEIN, HIGH IN VITAMINS AND MINERALS. WALELY QUITE A HEALT SNACK OR POTENTIALLY FULL-ON MEAL. JENNIFER: SPEAKING OF HOW PEOPLE EAT THEM, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO PICK ONE UP AND BITE THE HEAD OFF. YOU'RE GOING TO DEEP FRY IT OR COVER IT WITH CHOCOLATE. IS THAT NEGATING THE NUTRITIONAL VALUE THERE? >> YEAH, IT DOES, RIGHT? AND, OF COURSE, DON'T EAT THEM LIVE AND RAW. BUT YOU CAN SAUTE THEM IN OLIVE OIL AND PUT THEM ON TOP OF A BED OF RICE WITH VEGGIES. SO YOU CAN MAKE THEM HEALTHY. BUT, OF COURSE, A LOT OF POPULATIONS, INCLUDING MEXICO, THEY EAT GRASS HOPPERS. THEY CALL THEMCHAPALINIS. THE BEST ARE DEEP FRIED. JENNIFER: HAVE YOU EATEN CICADAS? >> I HAVE. I HAVE SOME LIVE RIGHT HERE. >> YOU PROMISED ME YOU WEREN'T GOING TO EAT THEM LIVE. >> I WON'T EAT THEMLIVE. I WOULD NOT. THIS IS A LITTLE NYMPH. SO SHE'S GOT KIND OF A FULL BODY. SO THESE ARE THE ONES THAT ARE JUST COMING UP FROM THE GROUND, AND THEY DON'T HAVE THEIR WINGS. THEY DON'T HAVE THAT HARD EXO SKELETON, THE BEAUTIFUL BLACK CICADAS WE SEE WITH THE ORANGE WIRNGS. THOSE I DO NOT RECOMMEND EATING. THESE I'VE TRIED. AND, OF COURSE, I HAVE FRIED THEM AS WELL. >> WHAT DO THEY TASTE LIKE? >> THEY'RE REALLY GOOD, ACTUALLY. THEY'RE QUITE SUBTLE. JENNIFER: WHAT DO THEY TASTE LIKE, THOUGH THOUGH? ARE THEY LIKE PEANUTS OR CHICKEN? >> NUTTY, BUTTERY. EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, YOU'LL CRUNCH INTO ONE THAT TASTES LIKE AASPARAGUS, GRASSY. THEY'RE VERY MILD. JENNIFER: JESSICA, YOU ARE A TREAT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US THIS MORNING. APPRECIA
