Do you want to bake a thousand pieces of cricket bread or five thousand cricket rolls? With Bug Bazaar's cricket powder bags you can do it!
The plain house cricket powder tastes mildly like rye bread or a roasted chickpea.
The optimized feed guarantees that our crickets do not have any unpleasant side or after tastes originating from a non-optimized feed that many cricket farmers still use!
It takes over one thousand house crickets (acheta domesticus) to produce 100 grams of our protein-rich cricket flour. One hundred percent natural, free from artificial colors, flavorings, preservatives, and MSG. Its high protein and low saturated fat and carbohydrate content make for a healthy cooking ingredient.
Technically our ground-up crickets are not flour but ‘floured’ so they will behave differently in baked goods as opposed to wheat, coconut or nut flours. For this reason, it’s best used in conjunction with another flour or flour substitute. If used in large amounts it may adversely affect texture so less is more.
Try the cricket powder on yogurt and you want to have it in that way every day!

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 proteins. 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 from insect food. Insects may contain traces of gluten.

OBS! Man kan vara allergisk mot insektmat. Matallergenerna är proteiner. Man kan bli allergisk mot insektproteiner på samma sätt som mot andra proteiner i maten. Proteinerna i insekter är jämförbara med proteinerna i t.ex. skaldjur och blötdjur. Därför kan en person som är allergisk mot t.ex. räkor få en allergisk reaktion av insektmat.
