The stand will be operated by Poquitos, a Seattle-based Mexican restaurant. The bugs are popular snacks in Mexico, according to ESPN.

The toasted grasshoppers are gluten-free, according to Poquitos, and full of protein, giving them a healthy edge over more traditional ballpark fare, like hot dogs.

Check out the other wacky fare being served up at ballparks across the country this season.
