Description
Cricket powder made from Gryllus assimilis Sp (Jamaican Crickets) and packed in handy foil pouches.
Looking for an unusual and unique way to fuel your high-protein diet? Nature has the answer with this nourishing powder made entirely from ground crickets. To most, eating crickets may appear to have a high ‘yuk’ factor but you won’t spot any of the distinctive characteristics of our chirruping chums in this powder.
Our crickets are raised commercially, fed a specifically developed, healthy diet, and are raised in clean and hygienic conditions. Containing no preservatives, artificial colours or flavours, this low-fat flour has many nutritional benefits. Packed with vitamin B12 and iron, and rich in protein, it can be used to produce energy bars, snacks, and much more.
Insects, such as crickets, contain chitin, which can hinder the absorption of essential proteins and nutrients. Traditional drying methods fail to break down or eliminate chitin effectively. That’s why we utilize a commercial microwave-drying oven to process our crickets. This method transforms chitin into Chitosan, which enhances the absorption of proteins and peptides. Unlike chitin, Chitosan is associated with numerous health benefits, including aiding in weight loss and helping manage blood sugar and blood pressure levels.
The powder is manufactured at our HACCP accredited factory where the crickets are cleaned, processed and packed ready to be shipped off to you in handy foil pouches. Every 100 grams (0.22 pounds) of cricket powder contains approximately 900 premium Gryllus Assimilis crickets!
