About

Insect protein is a sustainable solution for several reasons. Unlike most animals; cows, pigs or chickens, insects are 100% edible. We don't have to throw away bonesor intestines and our final product, a dry tasty powder (70% protein), has the same quality of protein per serving as salmon. Beyond that, we need just a fraction of the energy, land and water resources of other protein sources. However, the major problem facing the insects as food industry is cost. Typically insect protein sells for $60 or more per kilogram, and this is due to the high cost of production. Our solution is to utilise a species of insect, T. molitor, that has inherent advantages over crickets or flies. We further exploit these advantages with patent pending technology and process to allow us to produce quality insect protein for a fraction of the cost of our competitors.
