Why choose insects for food?

Sustainability

Insect protein in food is one of the most sustainable ingredients, requiring minimal extraction resources. Unlike traditional livestock products, insect farming uses much less water, land and feed, and produces fewer greenhouse gas emissions, so this protein can be considered an environmentally friendly choice.

High quality proteins

Edible insect protein has a complete amino acid profile, including all essential amino acids, making it a nutritionally sound alternative to meat. It is a high-concentration protein that is easily absorbed by the body and often outperforms many solely plant-based proteins.

Nutrient-rich profile

In addition to high-quality protein, edible insect protein also provides other valuable nutrients for food, such as healthy fats, essential fatty acids, and important minerals and vitamins, which contribute to overall well-being and a complete, balanced diet.

Versatile and functional

Textured insect protein and insect flour can be used in a wide range of food applications, from snacks and protein bars to bakery products, cereals and pasta. Their mild, umami-like taste and nutritional value add functionality to any recipe.
