Crickets hold cultural significance in various societies worldwide, such as Mexico, where they are enjoyed as “chapulines,” a traditional snack toasted with garlic and lime. In Thailand, they’re a street food staple, while in Japan, “inago” are grilled with soy sauce, reflecting their long-standing culinary heritage.

Crickets offer a sustainable and efficient solution to global food challenges, requiring less water and land than traditional livestock while producing fewer greenhouse gas emissions. Rich in protein and nutrients, they present a viable alternative to resource-intensive meat and dairy products, with potential to address malnutrition and food insecurity worldwide.
