The journey to the center is pretty intense. She loses her wings on the way in and dies after laying her eggs.
iirc, the figs sold commercially were selectively bred to self pollinate. I think the FDA or USDA would have a major problem with dead animals in fruit, even if they’re supposed to be there naturally.
I remember this from a high school science class. There was a girl in my class who was absolutely disgusted and mortified with the idea that grasshopper parts could be in bread. Maybe I’m wrong, but I reckon there’s probably a difference between cooked prepackaged foods and fresh raw foods.
The idea of bug parts in food doesn’t bother me much. Just a little protein. When I was a teenager during harvest, I’d climb on the trucks and stick a handful of wheat germ in my mouth when we were finished harvesting a field. I love the flavor and texture of wheat germ. Naturally, my favorite breakfast cereal is bran flakes.
Side note: if you do this, make sure they’re golden brown, not pink. The pink ones are covered in poison.
