Is it a fad, or is it the future? Rachel Crane visits Big Cricket Farms, the nation's first edible cricket farm to find out what everyone's bugging out about.
I was trained eating large grasshoppers or Locusts back in my country as a child, so its not surprising for me that some Americans eat these because i think its much more nutritious than most people think..
I'm fine with trying it. You get a pound of edible protein with the smallest amount of resources. I'd prefer they'd be pulverized and added to something else, like mix 'em with corn meal and give me cricket hush puppies. Something like that.
I ate grasshopper/cricket once, tasted like chicken and the chitin leaves an after-popcorn effect (stays stuck in the part between the gums and the teeth). But dehydrated ones don’t have that problem. Since then, I’m addict to them.
It's pretty easy to grow your own. Mealworms are even easier (but not great long term for reptiles, more of a "sometimes food" due to their high fat content)
I've only tried freeze-dried insects. It tasted nice, but the texture was dry and boring, so now I'm breeding my own superworms and mealworms. Currently looking into starting a cricket farm as well.
can someone please do the subtitlie of this video ? because i find it really interesting it but i barely understand what they say so if someone could do the subtitle it woould be really nice . thank you
People could eat seafood (basically alien & bugs) like octopus, shrimps, crabs & sea urchins but cant eat crickets? Its all about perspective & mentality.
Check out Aspire Food Group at Aspirefg.com. They're based out of Austin, TX and their products - cricket protein bars, powder, and snacks - are available for sale off their website and at various retailers across the US. Check them out, you won't regret it.
They're pretty good. Her comparison to popcorn isn't far off. I've had Aketta stuff, and it's a lot like a very savory popcorn snack with meaty hints and corn chip undertones.

Jesus Christ I expected a comment section full of benign "ew" and "actually bugs taste good" comments but somehow all I see are racist and conspiracy theory comments wtf?
+Ben Dover How do you do that? I find that weird, I used to buy crickets for lizards i had in the past, and wondered how they'd be used for fish bait as they were also described as such....
xinic5 You hook them very carefully through the meaty part and use only a floater. No weight. Bass love the shit out of them and it makes for great top water action.
Man! Those crickets look good! I've been fasting the last two days due to cancer. I"m fighting it through alternative means. It's not the point but I enjoy the weight loss as a bonus. I'm 70 pounds lighter. I'm stage for colon cancer and I bled out of my backside for about a year but it seems to have stopped about 3 weeks ago. I'm starting to think cancer isn't 'as deadly as they tell us. It's probably the chemo that's causing the body count.
+TJs Gaming I know, right! It's a ridiculous leftist lie that just refuses to die off. Just goes to show you how ignorant, and easily manipulated, most people are.
+TJs Gaming its a euphemism for ground up birds mixed with gluten and soy thickeners. its still nasty no matter how you label it. its a product, not real food.
Crickets... like all of God's creations deserve respect and reverence... including you... so give love as you would like to have God give to you... suggestion... of heaven... love... fairness... health... ease... cleanliness... joy... equality... individualism... appreciation... assistance... giving... nurturing... abundance... balance... FREEDOM! Love.
A year or two after this company makes money, they will outsource it to china to increase profit margins. FYI: there are already cricket farms in china as crickets are a staple food in china.
+Chickhunters China's finally getting environmental laws in place so it might not be quite as cheap a place as we're used to. However Africa's coming up and they may be doing some of China's work.
I meant to make the point that you wouldn't be able to harvest beef nearly as easily. bugs are a much more manageable option and allow for pretty much everyone to grow a source of protein at home. not to mention the fact that livestock farming is fucking disgusting and contributes to pollution and disease.
Al Capone also I got carried away and didn't mean to say pussy lol sorry bout that. of course meat tastes delicious but that doesn't mean bugs can't also

Yes we searched for this
I know right
grind'em up put them in cricket nuggets.
But not McDonald's nuggets
Techniquely they'd be healthier.lolz

525Lines They taste good on their own tho too. Like sunflower seeds.
If you were born eating it, you won’t think twice. I like fried grasshopper, not sure about crickets.
Word yo. Lots of condiments or season
You are all sick
@@mr.mystery9338 lol what an ignorant fuck

I would love to try some
cricket salsa sounds like a revolutionary idea if we decide to not fear to eat them.
I wish I could walk in there when ever I want with a box to put crickets in to feed my reptiles

"You will own nothing, eat the bugs and be happy" - WEF
Amazing!
T-bone steak vs cricket sandwich, there's no competition. LOL
where are those white and green containers? those that contain the crickets!
I SHIP THIS COUPLE.
China: We farm cockroach
America: We farm cricket
Is there stock that i can buy or any playform of investment?
I never tried any others insects but I ate crickets tastes amazing 20$ per pounds..... where can I buy this crickets at.....
can someone please do the subtitlie of this video ? because i find it really interesting it but i barely understand what they say so if someone could do the subtitle it woould be really nice . thank you
Same here mate!
I’d feed all of those crickets to my reptiles sheesh

Kevin Bachhuber.. love the comment about people feeding their kids pink slime over crickets part. haha
Fry crickets with a dash of salt n pepper. Yummy!
Youngstown! Nice.
He's one cool dude, hope his company blew up
This guy is awesome.
These are a neat species, called Banded Crickets.
Oh, I thought there were the house cricket (Acheta domesticus)
Bravo!
Good man making a difference. They look delicious and fun to eat.
Look at this FREAKING guy
What this man is doing is beautiful. Hell yes.
"Yum"
He could make at least a couple million dollars go to countrys like Inda Thailand and also have a website and feeder insects
in the beginning I thought :
oh WOW :D
, There is a farm in America where they gone Play the Sport Cricket just like in India and UK
um hello you missed one of the cricket triad!!!!!!!!!
Did you seriously think the yanks would figure out how to play cricket though? lol come on! :P
They got good chemistry she's a very smart and curious woman respect to her
They dont just come as protein though. Many other things come with it.
Agent Starling hears "The Chirping of the Crickets"

I really love the concept, I would totally love to see this pick up. I would eat them because I know they're healthy and good for you.

ill stick to giving them to my lizard thank you
The food we all eat? Most of it's probably crickets.
thanks lots sister good sharing 0:38
The fried crickets look just like fried cockroaches and are a good source of proteins
If it's so efficient, why is it so expensive?
Hmm. Sanitation standards, maybe? Plus limited produces vs high demand.
Locusts are biblically lawful to eat as well. I keep posting brothers in Africa to catch and eat those swarms of locusts. Its food.

I use crickets for fish bait.

Crab considered inhumane . wow times do change . bring me the cricket meet im ready

That said, I sure am hungry. I'd be happy to try some of those crickets.
Man, that's sad to hear you're doing alternative medicine. I guess it is your body in the end but you should really listen to the doctors.
So a Bodybuilder would have to consume the whole operation for daily protein gains 💪🏾
Pounds, not grams. It's 1360777 grams of protein
You did math like a high school body builder
2:19 how is it a good texture
Having had them, they really are a lot like popcorn.
แถวบ้านฉันเลี้ยงเยอะมากค่ะ
I used to eat ants. They tasted like salt and vinegar chips
To me the ant that I find in wood taste like blueberries or raspberries.

Even mexico has this since the longest
+gpdzbleach Wonder who has the longest standing bug cuisine.
Nom nom nom.
I'm down for eating bugs... Until you tell me I should be ashamed for eating meat.
It would be better to feed to fish and chickens. Well until we don't have anymore.
"This is CNN"

Pure protein over greasy fat
Thos video give cricket powder no justice
