PRODUCT INFORMATION

Overview 

Crickets are gram-for-gram one of the most efficient protein creators on the planet. By dry weight, a single cricket ranges between 65{2acce1891358d18da8dd32431deceea7a8f41bf92bc6ba3f59bc110a46882324} – 70{2acce1891358d18da8dd32431deceea7a8f41bf92bc6ba3f59bc110a46882324} pure protein. In contrast, beef is between 17{2acce1891358d18da8dd32431deceea7a8f41bf92bc6ba3f59bc110a46882324} – 40{2acce1891358d18da8dd32431deceea7a8f41bf92bc6ba3f59bc110a46882324} protein, with the rest being primarily fat content. But what about the quality of the protein you ask? Interestingly enough, cricket protein is a form of animal protein, which means it registers as a “complete” source of protein. What this means is that it contains all the essential branched-chain amino acids (BCAA’s) that the human body needs for muscle development. Simply put, for high-quality protein, crickets surprisingly might be the Lightweight Champion!
