Taco Cricket Mix
Taco Cricket Mix
Our roasted taco crickets and locally sourced, organic, toasted sunflower seeds are crunchy and savory. Earthy and herbal notes of cumin, garlic, onion and oregano with just a touch of heat from ground chili peppers.
How Do We Make It?
We start with food-grade crickets grown in our urban farm. (We use proprietary cricket feed and processes to bring you the most delicious crickets available.) Then we roast them in the oven until they're good and toasty, combining them with a house-made savory, mildly spicy seasoning and organic sunflower seeds.
How Do We Eat It?
Most often, we'll pour a few bags of cricket snack mix into a bowl alongside other snacky finger foods when we're having company. We're also known to toss them in a bag for an easy snack on the go, at work, or at our kids' sporting events.
But they're also great as a topper for other foods. The Taco mix is great on top of any taco of course, but also guacamole and salads.

Why eat crickets?
For the health of the planet and our bodies, crickets are the future. An ideal protein source, they have twice as much protein, emit less than 1% of the greenhouse gases, and use less than 0.5% of the water as beef.
Crickets are packed with protein, minerals, and pre-biotic fiber, making them great for your gut health and overall nutrition. While over 80% of the world's population eats insects, it's still uncommon where we're from. That's why we're introducing crickets through delicious chocolate treats and snacks.

What do crickets taste like?
Our food-grade crickets are raised specifically to promote a delicious eating experience, and taste different from any others you may have tried. They have a mild, slightly nutty flavor that reminds people of pumpkin seeds, almonds, and even puffed rice. They pair well with almost any food, but we like them with chocolate, caramel, and spices.
Crickets can benefit: the world, your health, your pocketbook, your enjoyment of life, your connection with others.
We must live differently to save the planet... Crickets are a forgotten and overlooked solution with many uses.
We need a more diverse diet to meet our body's raw material needs... Crickets are healthy food.
Healthy bodies avoid medical expenses... the B12 and feeding your micro-biome saves on your medical expenses.
A varied diet is more interesting and therefore a more satisfying experience of living.
Sharing something beneficial, interesting and edible with friends and family is a great way to foster human connection and build healthy relationships by doing something good and being one with the crickets.
Confront the darkness... open your mind... awaken to the possibilities... We can do it... eating crickets.
Pass the crickets please ;-)
