Tennant Farms and the future of the cricket industry.

Crickets are becoming an increasingly popular alternative source of food for humans. With environmental concerns growing, more and more people are looking for sustainable sources of nutrition. Crickets are a great choice for those looking for a healthy and eco-friendly option.

For starters, crickets are high in protein, low in fat, and contain micronutrients like calcium, phosphorus, iron, B vitamins, magnesium, and potassium. Even compared to conventional sources of protein such as beef, chicken, and pork, crickets outshine them nutritionally. The protein content of crickets is also easier for the human body to digest, making them a more efficient source of proteins and nutrients.

In addition to their nutritional value, crickets are also a much more environmentally friendly option than traditional sources of animal proteins. Crickets require less energy and water to produce, and they generate significantly fewer greenhouse gases than cows, pigs, and chickens. They are also considered to be a "zero-waste" food source — the chitin (the fibrous material in cricket's exoskeleton) is a valuable resource for fertilizer, and their droppings can be used as a nutrient-rich soil supplement.

In summary, crickets are a nutritious, eco-friendly, and sustainable source of protein that is becoming increasingly popular among individuals and companies looking for nutritious and sustainable sources of food. Not only are crickets high in protein and low in fat, but they also require less resources than traditional animal proteins and support local businesses.
