Edible Crickets

Inside this bag, you will find between 16 to 20 crickets. Crickets that have bee, washed, dried and cooked in France prior to beeing packaged.

You can eat them as snack or appetizer or even add them  into your cooking, and realize original recipes (see our recipes).

Crickets are insects easily found in large numbers all around the world. In fact, when you speak about edible insects, they are usually the first one to come to mind. They are herbivorous animals you can eat safely. You will even find a large range of products based on them in our shop.

Crickets and Legends surrounding them

Many superstitions surround this insect. In all of the english speaking countries around the world, when people hear crickets singing around their house during the evening, they see it as a bad omen. Whereas in other parts of the worlds, it means something else. If you hear them inside your house, it announces a happy birth. Outside of it, it means that the area is secure.

But when it stops suddenly, it is a sign of danger nearby and it is better to go elsewhere. Might be be a snake, might be something bigger. But be it as an omen of bad luck or happiness, crickets are perfectly edible and will bring you many nutritional and healthy benefits.

Crickets are insects rich in many nutrients

As an edible insect, cricket is probably one of the least repulsive of them. Crickets are healthy creatures, they don't live into dirty or unsanitary areas. Herbivorous by nature, they come to feed on tiny insects such as midges or larvae from time to time.

Cricket are rich in minerals like calcium, magnesium, iron and even phosphorus. They also contain significant quantities of protein and fiber. As do all other edible bugs.

As with all other edible insects, the UN's World Food Programme (WFP) encourages large-scale production and consumption of these small critters. The WFP calls for producers to popularize and promote worldwide consumption of edible insects. By eating insectes, the UN has been able to use them as a powerful palliative to fight protein deficiency in some African and Asian countries.

Natural, seasoned or sweet Crickets

Apart from the process of dehydration, the crickets we bring you have been left in their natural form. They have been cooked, dried, flavored, seasoned and then packaged in France

A cricket tastes like hazelnut or almond. They can blend into many a recipe where you will unleash their full potential. We particularely like crickets in caramel cakes. But if you want to keep it simple,  you can also eat them right out of their bag, like you would do with chips or crackers.
