WhynotCrickets?

Higher nutrition,
Lower environmental impactLow in environmental impact ⬇

Our Crick-Flakes are made with cricket flour (Acheta domesticus) and a multigrain blend, providing a delicious and protein-rich meal that delivers superior nutrition while minimising environmental impact.

The final recipe is in the works, we canโ€™t wait to share more details!

Nutritional profile

Crickets are packed with good stuff!

A protein content of 75% and an impressive array of essential nutrients like healthy fats, iron, calcium, vitamin B-12, omega-3, and potassium, turn crickets into a leap towards sustainability that's as nutritious as it is eco-conscious.

More potassium than bananas
More iron than spinach
More calcium than milk
More omega-3 than salmon
More vitamin B-12 than beef
and even more!
Edible & protein share

Crickets are so good that most of their mass is edible.
And guess what? Most of thatedible massis protein. Not bad, huh?

Water footprint

Growing crickets take only a fraction of the amount offresh waterrequired by other protein sources.

Crickets require0,05%of fresh water compared to beef and0,5%compared to soybeans.

The role of Cricking

Pioneering the protein transition

What's up?

The Protein Transition refers to a strategic shift towards diversifying and promoting sustainable sources of protein in the food system, with a focus on reducing reliance on traditional animal-based proteins and encouraging the consumption of alternative protein sources.

This shift addresses pressing environmental concerns such as excessive land and water use, as well as CO2 emissions associated with conventional protein production methods.

The Protein Transition is all about switching things up in our diets by adding more eco-friendly protein sources. Instead of just sticking to meat and plant alternatives, it's time to look at other options like insects!

This change helps tackle big environmental issues like too much land and water use, and high CO2 emissions that come from traditional meat and plant-protein production.

Making a difference

We're on a mission to reshape the way people nourish themselves, soon offering a diverse range of delicious and nutrient-packed products derived from cricket protein.

Through our innovative use ofcricketscrickets, we want to redefine the way people approach nutrition, embracing the unparalleled benefits of insect protein for both personal wellness and environmental preservation.
