Is this acquired similar to how cow milk is or more like almond milk?

Popped open the article to find out, and the answer is neither. The 'milk' is crystals collected by cutting open a particular kind of roach and extracting them from its brood sack.

There's a phrase I didn't know I'd be using today.

I wonder what kind of research goes in a lab where someone goes "what if we cut the grub from the pregnant cockroach and test to see it's nutrition content?"
