White ants also known as Ming termites are another favorite delicacy enjoyed in Uganda in almost every region of the country. Like the grasshoppers, they are also seasonal only showing up at the onset of the rains.
A rich source of proteins, the white ants, can be fried, boiled, pounded into a thick paste and boiled into a cake. While it’s not uncommon for some people to eat them raw, they have a long shelf life when dried and packaged well. Today one can find them in supermarkets and most major food stores in Kampala and the major markets across the country.
