Yes, you can eat maggots – and people do! Maggots are the larval stage of flies, and are often used in bait for fishing. They’re also used in many cultures as a traditional food.

In some parts of Mexico, maggots are fried and eaten as a crunchy snack. In China, they’re often used in soup or rice dishes. And in Africa, maggots are sometimes roasted over an open fire.<\/p>\n \n
