For those conciuous about healthy food: I didn't find the nutritional facts for these Scorpion Skewers found on a street market in Beijing. For simplification I compare them with Crickets:
A service size of 100grams ads up to 562 calories, thereof 49.5 fat calories. Low carb diet fanatics might be happy, as you won't find any. I guess the 5.5g fat is o.k. It doesn't say how many of them are unsaturated and what amount of cholesterol you get with it. 6.7g of protein is about 13% of your daily requirement. No Vitamin C, sorry, but 9% of your daily Calcium and 63% of your Iron needs. ... ;-)
Never mind, taste perhaps is more important than facts: they were crispy, a little bit oily for my taste, but guess that was 'cause of the deep frying ... bon appetit!
