Sustainable Quality Cricket Flour for Human Consumption
We achieved the same sustainable product quality on all our farms. We have an option to deliver from Thailand and Indonesia. We don’t supply poor quality products at the lowest price from random farms.
We aimed to build farms, that would work only for export high-quality insect-based protein to the developed countries and meets all international requirements.
Special Diet for the Crickets (Acheta domesticus)
The quality of our product for human consumption is what matters to us the most. Our product is organically produced cricket powder. It is made of dried, ground crickets (Acheta Domesticus, 100%)
