WHY SHOULD I EAT CRICKET PROTEIN?
Are you bored with the same old protein sources in your diet?
Look no further than cricket flour. Cricket flour is a new protein source that contains more key nutrients than meat while being much cleaner and more sustainable.
Cricket flour contains easily digestible complete protein, all 9 essential amino acids, vitamin B12, iron, and chitin, a powerful prebiotic fiber. In addition to complete protein, cricket flour is high in healthy fats (such as omega-3s) and low in saturated fat.

Why do people eat cricket powder?
Crickets have twice the protein content of beef, more than twice the iron content of spinach, and seven times the iron content of salmon.
Furthermore, cricket flour contains 50 times more vitamin B12 than chicken and seven times more than salmon, which is necessary for the conversion of food into energy and the formation of red blood cells.
The healthiest protein the world has ever seen
A sustainable solution for feeding the world
Eating cricket flour is not only good for your health, but it is also good for the environment.
Cricket uses 1800 times less water than beef, consumes 12 times less feed, and emits 100 times less carbon dioxide.
Cricket protein can also be grown indoors, vertically, and in urban areas, freeing up land for restoration and other purposes.

Benefits of cricket flour for gut health
Not only that, but incorporating cricket flour into your diet can lead to a healthier gut.
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Institute Madison’s of Environmental Studies discovered that eating cricket flour can promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, which is associated with a stronger immune system, more energy, a better mood, and overall health.
The study also discovered a decrease in TNF-alpha, an inflammatory protein in the blood that has been linked to depression and cancer.

Including Cricket Flour in Your Diet to Enhance Your Overall Health
Improve Intestinal Health
Cricket contains chitin, a powerful prebiotic fiber different from the dietary fiber found in fruits and vegetables, which constitutes the exoskeleton of arthropods such as insects and crustaceans.
Several studies have found that chitin is responsible for reducing inflammation and even reversing cases of irritable intestinal disease.
A healthy microbiota is associated with a stronger immune system, more energy, better mood, and better overall health.
Reduces Fatigue
Cricket flour contains more iron than beef. Iron assists in hemoglobin production which transports oxygen in the blood therefore it helps reduce fatigue resulting from a lack of hemoglobin.
Contributes to Brain Activity and Provides Energy
It contains 50 times more vitamin B12 than chicken and 7 times more than salmon. Vitamin B12 is necessary for converting food into energy and for the formation of red blood cells. Additionally, it is essential for the nervous system and brain to function properly.
Promotes Muscle Growth
Cricket is a great source of complete protein that exceeds the amount of protein found in beef, chicken, pork, and fish. It also contains 9 essential amino acids necessary for muscle growth and the entire metabolic process. These amino acids are called “essential” because the body doesn’t produce—they must be consumed through diet.
