Product description
Once the larvae enter the pupa phase of their life cycle they enclose themselves in a cocoon of raw silk; some 300 to 900 meters long.
To prevent the emerging moth from damaging the delicate silk weave the woven cocoons are boiled; killing the silkworms and making the cocoons easier to unravel.
Once unraveled just the original silkworm pupae remains – high in protein, low in fat, and a great source of essential fatty acids.

Allergens
Insects may cause an allergic reaction to those who are allergic to, for example, dust mites or shrimp. Food allergens are proteins. Sensitization to insect proteins is possible, just like to any other food protein. The proteins that insects contain are similar to the proteins of e.g. crustaceans and mollusks. Thus persons who are allergic to prawns, for example, may have an allergic reaction to insect food.
