Planet Organic

Londonist writer Lydia Manch notes that the Wandsworth branch of Planet Organic stocks edible insect brand Jimini's:

'This French brand is genuinely passionate about insects snacks — treating them not as a trend or a way to get a talking point out of your garnish, but as the sustainable protein source of the future. Their website's crammed with stats and data to persuade you of the benefits of eating bugs — crickets contain significantly more protein than beef per 100g, and more than double the protein of chicken, for example — and their mission statement is, 'to make you want to try and enjoy it, with pleasure and open-mindedness.' Hit them up for insect pasta, recipe ideas and crunchy insect bar snacks.

Planet Organic, 52 Garratt Lane, SW18 4TF.

Santo Remedio

Santo Remedio was a short-lived Mexican restaurant set up in Shoreditch by Natalie and Edson Diaz-Fuente following a residency at Street Feast. The first venue served tacos, ceviches and grasshopper-sprinkled guacamole. It closed in 2016, but following a successful Kickstarter campaign they've found a new Tooley Street site for their second coming. Expect more grasshoppers from Santo Remedio's new restaurant, coming in autumn 2017.
