Kuwaiti businessman Jassem Buabbas has spent years breeding "superworms" for animal feed and now hopes the creatures will find their way into the diets of Gulf citizens. "My ambition is for worms to be a successful food alternative for humans," he told AFP. Kuwaiti businessman Jassem Buabbas displays Darkling beetles inside a special room at his farm in Kabad, 50km northwest of Kuwait City, on May 20, 2021. "I have so far created three types of sauces... and colleagues of mine have tried and liked them," said Buabbas, who apart from breeding superworms works in the government sector. Buabbas markets his business on social media, while he works on superworm recipes that he says will incorporate elements of local cuisine.
