Getting those milk crystals out must be very time consuming - and messy. I think the price per liter may be extremely high.

@Kandae11 I guess, you're right. if there's too much effort probably, it would be needing too much money.That's how it goes.

My first thought was "how do they get enough milk from a roach to sell it?" No I would not willing drink roach bug milk, that is up there on the list of I will not`s, like eat rats and cricket flour.

Processing the crystals they extract must be very time consuming - therefore I guess it would be a rather expensive product.

I've never heard of cockroach milk. The cockroach is so small. They'll need a lot of cockroaches to collect milks. But where are so many cockroaches? In any case, I never thought of drinking cockroach milk.

They produce a nutrient rich milk crystal in the gut which is extracted and processed.
