- Cricketerra's crickets are raised on FDA-registered farms and fed a diet of vegetables in hygienic conditions. Crickets are pressure cooked & ground into a fine cricket powder.
- Cricketerra cricket powder is 100% pure crickets unlike others you'll see that are mixed with baking flour or flavoring (why pay to ship that?). Each bag contains 3.5oz at 70% protein - that's almost 1/4 pound. It takes approximately 1,100 crickets to make this bag of 100% pure cricket powder.
- Add extra protein into baked goods, energy bars, PB&J, veggie burgers, beans n' rice, pancakes, dinner dishes and more!
- Cricket contains twice as much protein as beef, as much calcium as milk, as much Vitamin B12 as salmon, and 17 amino acids, including Lysine.

I sort of agree with you but how do you feel about insects, for example? If you found a few mosquitos or cockroaches in your bedroom, would you handle the situation the same way as if you found a squirrel instead? Or how about this: people need protein to live and many don't have easy access to cheap plant-based protein. If you were in need of dietary protein, would you feel equally bad eating cricket protein as you would a steak?
Consumed multiple scoops of blended cricket powder from thailand!, in my Protein shakes. It was almost tasteless but...not quite. 7g of protein, 50 cals per serving.
They aready make cricket flour. So why not?!
There's a couple of companies that have started producing them.
Bitty Foods- Sells cricket flour and cricket flour cookies
JR Unique Foods- sells on Amazon- check the quantity, it can be low sometimes
This is a good list that covers all kinds of insect products, from candies and other processed goods to just raw, minimally processed insects, and where to get them.
Flour can be derived from a lot of different plant materials, tree nuts included. There are tons of trees on Zou.
EDIT: Interestingly, you can also make flour from crickets, and presumably other insects.
amazon link
edit: if the price per kg would drop by 2/3 i'd consider it interesting.

> e.g. flour with ground crickets in it
Actually, cricket flour is just crickets, no wheat flour mixed in.
It might become commonplace in the future. You can buy cricket flour now. It's flour made from ground-up crickets.
It's even sold on Amazon.
But some common foods that you've eaten probably already contain insects as an ingredient.
For example, have you ever eaten a food product with one of these listed on the ingredients...?
They're all different names for the same thing. A red food dye made from a crushed-up insect.
Cricket Flour (Cricket protein powder), its really pretty good. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OMCTODQ/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_1?pf_rd_p=1944687522&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B010VTRH5U&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1RPH2T4BSGKFYGCB832Z
Cricket flour has gotten quite a bit of buzz (ugh no pun intended) in the last couple of years!
Lots of people eat bugs. There are even things like cricket flour that are very healthy.
I got it on amazon, only a small amount for 8 dollars or so, and I think it was pretty expensive. I’m pretty sure it is manufactured in Thailand. If you have a really amazing SE Asian market nearby you MAY be able to find it?
Edit: upon a cursory google search there are snacks like this for $3.29 and the pure cricket powder which you dilute with flour for $10.
I had cricket flour paratha at Vij's in Vancouver and it was wonderful. It's a terrific product and for anyone wondering, there is no "cricket" taste to it. It's just a damn good idea for a planet in need of good ideas. One of the best forms of protein you could ask for.
