You’re excused if you feel the need to bug out a little at the news: The Seattle Mariners of Major League Baseball are introducing toasted grasshoppers to its list of concession items.
The news, first announced Friday by the Mariners, gained traction on Saturday when it was reported by ESPN. Costing $4 a cup and covered in chili lime salt, the hoppers can be eaten alone or in tacos, the franchise reports. A major selling point? The insects are gluten free.
Looking to try something different?
