"I see it like this; Our population is growing exponentially and along with it our need for protein, but there is a clear limit to the natural resources available to produce that protein. This equation doesn’t have a future using the old model of animal agriculture. It is clearly time to think outside the box. Adding crickets as a protein source is a resourceful response to our changing environment, they’re delicious, nutritious and truly sustainable."

CRICKETS ARE A SUPERFOOD

Your Body Will Thank You

su·per·food
/’sooper, food/, noun
~a nutrient rich food considered to be especially benificial for health and well-being.

Let’s talk nutrition profile for a sec. Our dry roasted
crickets and cricket powder is 64% protein containing all 9
essential amino acids. One serving of our crickets contains more than 500% of the RDA for Vitamin B-12. Also our crickets contain the pre-biotic Chitin, which is an excellent nutrient for the beneficial bacteria (probiotics) in your gut. Plus crickets contain Omega Fats, Iron, Calcium and Potassium. So, yeah, Crickets are a Superfood.

CRICKETS ARE ONE OF THE MOST SUSTAINABLE SOURCES OF PROTEIN THERE IS

Future Generations Will Thank You

Now, more than ever, it’s important to look at the impact and efficiency of our industries that depend on natural resources. When we look at the environmental cost of producing 1 pound of traditional livestock protein it becomes clear that crickets are the “micro-livestock” of a more sustainable future. Let’s look at resource input versus energy output and make informed decisions about what we eat.
