Can confirm both: I've gotten lucky with some batches and unlucky with others. Unlucky is quite nasty, but maybe extra protein? /s

  This reminds me of something I read in Discover magazine around 20 years ago. The gist of it was that immigrants in western Europe from various countries in Africa had developed nutritional deficiencies after immigrating. It appeared their diets were the same, perhaps better on paper, so it wasn't clear why their health was deteriorating. It turned out that these people had diets rich in unwashed greens and vegetables, and they were likely consuming far more beneficial bacteria, insects, and minerals in their diets. They continued their mostly-vegetarian diets in Europe, but were no longer benefitting from what tended to accompany their foods before. Not sure why I remember that. Regardless, we should all be eating dirt and weevils.
