Dried edible crickets

Farmed and packaged in the U.K. Horizon edible insects are rich in proteins and omega 3,6,9. They smell slightly like prawns but have a very earthy flavour. Ideal for milling into flour, or use for bug burgers, bug tacos or any other recipe you can think of.

Cookery classes

Fancy the idea of cooking with insects? We offer a fun day out in London and an insight into the world of ento cuisine. As well cooking, you will have a chance to check our back-garden shed and see how our family is trying to achieve protein self-sufficiency, thanks to edible insects.

Gift vouchers

Our unusual experience gift vouchers are suitable for adults and for older children. Experiences are the perfect present for someone who has got everything and would like to try something new.

Cricket powder

Cricket powder is obtained by grinding naturally raised and dried crickets and it is a 100% natural product with a high protein content (about 3 times the content of meat). The powder, often also referred to as ‘flour’, is a very tasty and healthy, soft, light, fine powder.

Edible Locusts

Like many edible insects, edible locusts are considered a delicacy in many places around the globe, from Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. With their very mild taste, they make the perfect starter bug for those who have not tried edible insects before.

Edible mealworms

Sustainably grown edible mealworms for human consumption are full of protein and can be used both as a crunchy snack or a cooking ingredient.
The best way to describe edible mealworms flavour is slightly nutty.

OUR SHED

When booking one of our edible insect cookery classes, you will have the opportunity to learn interesting facts about edible insects and their life-cycle. In our back-garden shed we grow various edible insects like mealworms and crickets, which we use to feed healthy protein to our family of 4. You will be invited to have a look in our shed and you may even decide to have a go and experiment with growing your own! The insects are harvested every 8 weeks, at the end of their life-cycle.

Why edible insects

Safe and sustainable

Eat for the environment. Edible Insects are genetically very different from humans, hence edible bugs are unlikely to transmit viruses and diseases to humans when eaten. Furthermore, they produce a negligible amount of greenhouse gases. Finally, they require minimal quantities of water, since they survive mostly on the moisture from the vegetables they eat.

Delicious

If you are wondering what insects taste like, consider that the taste varies greatly from species to species; we describe the ones we produce as having a nutty to earthy flavour. Insects are very versatile and can be roasted, fried or made into a protein-rich flour. Insects have been eaten for millennia by billions of people in 80% of countries, where they are regarded as a delicacy.

Nutritious

Edible Insects are low in fat and low in calories. But are insects nutritious? Kilo for kilo, most edible insects have 3 times as much proteins and 30 times more vitamin B12 than beef. In addition, many insects are also rich in good fats and high in calcium, iron, zinc, omegas and amino acids.
