Nutrition

The average human body requires about 50 grams of protein each day.  In North America, for example, protein consumption is predominantly from animal derived sources: Meat, fish, and poultry makes up about 40% of daily protein intake while dairy usually contributes about 20%.
The reason animal derived sources are predominately the main source of protein intake is due to the acceptance that animal sourced dietary protein are superior to those protein that are derived from plants.  When comparing crickets to other meat source’s protein contribution, insects have a higher protein portion per 100 grams of dry weight in comparison to many others such as beef.  

Crickets are also important sources of numerous necessary nutrients such as the 8 essential amino acids, vitamin B12, riboflavin, the biologically active form of vitamin A (retinol, retinoic acid, and retinaldehyde) and several minerals such as Iron and Calcium. Crickets are also high in healthy and low in unhealthy fats and oils:  low in saturated fat, rich in omega 3 fatty acids, and with the ideal ratio of Omega 6 and 3 fatty acids.
