All our fine #cricketpowder is screened down to <125 microns. Unlike many other cricket powders it works really well in drinks applications. We also offer a bakery grade cricket powder which is has a coarser texture and darker colour - perfect for bread and brownies!

“There are clear #environmental and #economic benefits if you substitute traditional sources of animal proteins with those that require less feed, produce less waste and result in fewer greenhouse gas emissions.” #Climate #EdibleInsects #InsectFarming #entomophagy #InsectProtein
Today we published our first full safety evaluation of #InsectFood, within the framework of our work on #NovelFood applications. What are the main challenges of assessing #insects as food and will Europeans take to insect food? Stay tuned!

Crickets are a great source of healthy fats but oxygen and sunlight can both cause the fats to degrade. To ensure our crickets stay fresh for as long as possible we pack them under a light vacuum (so they don't get crushed!) in sturdy foil bags.

There's as much digestible protein in 1kg of our #cricketpowder as there is in 5 whole chickens
