In Shandong Province, China, a woman has setup a breeding farm for flies. These insects may seem disgusting for most of us, but to Ai Baorong, these are beautiful little “angels”.
Ai Baorong, a Jinan University graduate, was seeking employment in every way after her graduation, but was unsuccessful in finding her ideal job. She tried selling mats and even opened a small shop, and in the end a report which mentioned raising bugs to become rich initiated her enormous interest.
Baorong has since started to breed houseflies. Each maggot contains 60% protein, 15% fat, but also has some vitamins, and its protein nutritional value is several times higher compared to animal protein.
After the cleansing, deodorization and dehydration processes, the concentrated protein can be used for the production of soy sauce and MSG - which makes it a product with great market value.
