"Cricket flour is made up of finely ground crickets, using the entire insect. Cricket bodies are made up of roughly 65% protein, and their exoskeletons contain an insoluble fiber that can aid in digestion, compared to whey proteins, which some people have a difficult time digesting. If you're worried about texture or taste, don't be: The crickets are finely ground and have a neutral taste with slight notes of nuttiness."
"A 10-gram serving of Thailand Unique's Cricket Powder, which is made of 100% cricket, has 7 grams of protein. Meanwhile, the same serving size of chicken breast has about 3 grams of protein. Similarly, 10 grams of ground beef contains 3 grams of protein and 10 grams of eggs have about 1.5 grams of protein, far less than the cricket flour. Cricket flour also contains B vitamins and other micronutrients, as well as healthy fats."
Cricket flour is produced from whole, finely ground crickets, providing high protein content and insoluble fiber from exoskeletons that may aid digestion. Crickets contain roughly 65% protein by body composition, and small servings of pure cricket powder deliver more protein per gram than comparable amounts of chicken, beef, or eggs. Cricket flour also supplies B vitamins, other micronutrients, and healthy fats. The powder has a neutral, slightly nutty taste and can replace other protein powders in smoothies or substitute for a portion of regular flour in recipes like pancakes, waffles, and banana bread.
