We are just three Middlebury college students trying to encourage others to start eating insects. We made this website to help others learn a bit about entomophagy and give a quick way to start incorporating insects into your recipes.
Hey Midd kids! Check out our survey about entomophagy experience: Link to the survey Gateway Insect:We think crickets are your gateway to the world of entomophagy. Are you uncomfortable eating the entirety of the insect? Well cricket powder is the way to go! It's similar to flour or protein powder!
