Three protein sources in the same box
6× the omega-3 of canned tuna
Mussels: protein from the sea
Cleaned, steamed and dressed in a Galician tomato sauce. All you have to do is lift the tab.
75% protein in cricket flour
Cricket flour: what's really inside
House crickets (Acheta domesticus) farmed for food, dried and ground. A little goes a long way to enrich crackers, pasta and taralli.
47% protein in our grated yeast topping
Yeast protein: what's really inside
It's not an animal, and technically it's not a plant either: it's a microscopic fungus. As it ferments, it produces complete protein, rich in fibre and vitamins.
Quality counts too
Complete protein
Proteins are made of amino acids, the way a puzzle is made of pieces. Nine are essential: the body doesn't produce them, so they have to come from food. Some foods contain only a few of them; our protein sources contain them all.
Insects, yeast and mussels are three different sources, and they all have the 9 essential amino acids.
9/9essential amino acids
- Histidine
- Isoleucine
- Leucine
- Lysine
- Methionine
- Phenylalanine
- Threonine
- Tryptophan
- Valine
This refers to the protein source used in the product.
