You might think, how is it possible to eat insects? But the bad news is, you've been eating them unknowingly for a long time.

Because the substance that is most commonly used in caramine to reddish the food in the world, is made by crushing insects.

In South America, the cactus contains a type of cocoinel called insects. And the worm is made by crushing the worm Carmine.

Now it is culturally cultivated in Peru. Every year, millions of such insect pests have been cultivated to color the food. The worm crushing Carmine is widely used in the world's food industry. Ice cream starts from the tooth. Carmine is being used from fruit pie to soft drinks.

But the reason for this extensive use of Carmine is that it is safe and lasting, which is not lost due to heat or light.

The supporters claim that from five hundred years ago to the South American Maya ethnic group, the Aztec people used to use this pod crush. They think it is much better than human health compared to artificially made food colors.

But they also admit that the use of this product should be clearly mentioned on the food products. Along with this, there is a lot more of the red color being created, where there is no insects.

Maybe you look at the list of foods in a red color, you can not see the name Carmine. Rather it may be written, the natural red color or the Crimson Lake or E 120 number, the number given to the European Union Carmine.

Amy Butler Greenfield has researched Carmine He says, very few people have problems with this food ingredient. As a food item, its past is very good.

Peru produces 95 percent of the world's Carmine. Woman's insects are cultivated, because they do not have a wings and they can not fly.

In the year the demand for Carmine is increasing in the world, and its prices are also rising. Carmine's price has increased 73 percent in the last four years.

However, some companies are removing themselves from Carmen. America's Coffee Chain Starbucks is such a big company.

Although the colors are also made from tomatoes, berries and betrot, none of them is permanent like Carmine.

Ms. Butler says, as well as it should be remembered that Carmine is a natural element on which Peruvian grocer is the source of income.

"People of Peru are mostly poor, they depend on Carmine for survival."
