Cricket Flour Protein Powder

Ancient “Lost” Food Group Now Back in Action
A Protein Enhancer and Much More

Look at any indigenous people still living in the world. Look at our ancient ancestors. They all ate insects. In fact, for many insects were a delicacy and a highly prized food as they’re loaded with nutrition.
The only reason we stopped eating insects is because we became “civilized” because they were “yucky”. And with that rampant disease became far more common.
We’ve brought you ant! And now we bring you crickets!

Fun Facts!
Entomophagy is the eating of insects by people.
Did you know the average person consumes 1 kilogram (over 2 pounds) of insects per year from commercial food supplies?
You’re eating bugs whether you want to or not. So why not intentionally use this great food supply?

Cricket Protein vs. Beef

How much protein is in a cricket? Our cricket flour comes in at a whopping 62.6% protein in the powder.
Dried beef on the other hand comes in around 29-43%.²
I like to think of this as a “Protein Enhancer.” Because it does cost more than most protein powders out there you’re not going to be using massive amounts of it typically.
What I’ll often do for a Protein Shake is to use something else, like a quality whey protein, or maybe hemp, and then add a scoop of cricket protein on top of that.
Each scoop has 6.2 grams of protein.

Cricket Powder Protein Bar Recipe

With this powder you can make your own cricket protein bars. Here’s a sample recipe:

• 8 TB Cricket

Process in a food processor or a blender (Vitamix works great), pour into a pan and let sit in a freezer.

Some other ideas include cricket pancakes, cricket brownies, cricket cookies and cricket chips.

The flavor is a little nutty, and similar to dried powdered corn.
