DENVER, July 31 (UPI) -- A Denver-area woman says that she opened a can of spinach and found half a dead grasshopper inside.
"I just think it's very gross," Donna Labrador told the Denver Post. "I will never eat another can of veggies again. Probably not spinach, anyway."
Labrador planned to saute the spinach in olive oil to make a late dinner Wednesday to share with her 3-year-old daughter, Isabella. But she said the grasshopper was such a disturbing find she skipped dinner Wednesday and breakfast Thursday morning.
She called the company that canned the spinach and got the promise of a mailer to send in the grasshopper for tests. She also hopes for a refund.
The grasshopper, wrapped up in toilet paper, was in her refrigerator. Labrador said that by Friday she might be hungry enough to resume eating -- although not canned vegetables.
Grasshoppers are eaten in many parts of the world, and experts say they can be an excellent source of protein.
