Cricket Pow(d)er

There is a flour that will go where no flour has gone before. It's organic. It's high in omega-3s. It's high in calcium and iron. It's sustainable. It's a  good source of protein. What is this mystery, mighty flour you ask? It's crickets! Tiny Farms, Exo  and Chirp showed cricket-based food products at an “Alternative Proteins" event in San Francisco earlier this year. In fact, Exo raised $54,000 to start making all-natural protein bars made from cricket flour, while Chirp is raising organic crickets to also make products from the cricket flour.
