Edible crickets have a flavour reminiscent of shrimp, but nuttier. They are also a staggering 69% protein, as well as being low in calories and packed with minerals such as calcium and iron – crickets really are the ultimate snack! Try tossing the freeze-dried crickets in soy sauce and roasting for 10-15 minutes until crispy. Sprinkle the crispy crickets with a pinch of white pepper powder and chilli flakes for an Asian-inspired spicy snack.
Edible insects are widely considered to be the food of the future. As a percentage of their bodyweight, insects contain more protein than any other food source. As the global population continues to grow and modern-day farming methods take their toll on the environment, farming edible insects is rapidly taking centre stage as the most sustainable method of making sure everyone has access to the nutrients they need. Grub are doing their part to bring the future of sustainable food to the UK – now.
