If you're having a hankering for insects or mealworms this afternoon, you may want to stop by the Ferry Building where such snacks are now available in handy snack pouches from the La Cocina kiosk.

Don Bugito, the "Prehispanic snackeria" that is a business launched by Monica Martinez with the help of La Cocina's incubator program, specializes in using insects as food. Adventurous foodies around town have already tried things like her wax moth larvae tacos at the S.F. Street Food Festival, and now she's packaged up other treats like chocolate-covered salted crickets, and spicy "superworms" (mealworms) that are chile-lime spiked, as Zagat reports.

We are a little scared to try them ourselves, but other have earlier described the wax moth larvae as "mild" and "crispy," and this naturopathic doctor says that crickets are "like any other crunchy snack" and a bag of them "can be as addicting as a bag of potato chips."

And as Martinez assures us, eating bugs is "super healthy, both for people and the planet."
