Crickets are Good for you
And it's not just protein. Crickets are loaded with B vitamins, healthy fats, Omega 3s, and minerals like iron (more than beef) and calcium (more than milk).
Admittedly, our Fried Crickets are, well...fried. But that's because fried is delicious, and we thought you deserved it! For an energy analog, it turns out that one pack of our fried crickets has the same amount of protein and fat as a hard-boiled egg.
Crickets are the perfect fuel for our town (and for you when you're in town)!
