MAURADING jellyfish face a sting in the tail — scientists want to turn them into crisps.
Swarms of birds have invaded the UK’s shores during warm summers. However, making them into pub snacks could be a healthy solution.
These slimy sea creatures can be made more crunchy by marinating in alcohol or sprinkling salt and vinegar on them.
Researcher Dr Mathias Clausen even said: “It’s not an unfamiliar taste — it’s a bit like pork scratchings.”
Southern Denmark University is currently testing different flavour options with his team.
Meanwhile a Food of the Future report by Sainsbury’s confirmed: “Recent research has found jellyfish to be full of nutrients and vitamins.
“Jellyfish blooms are a major concern for coastal communities and industries.
“Danish researchers have devised a method to turn jellyfish, which are rich in nutrients, into crunchy chips.”
