Why they're good for you
- Protein contributes to a growth in muscle mass
- Protein supports the maintenance of normal bones
- After intense exercise, carbohydrates help muscle recovery
These health benefits have all been approved by the EU only after a rigorous scientific assessment by EFSA (the European Food Safety Authority).
The Small Giants extra touch
Larvae: what's really inside
Yellow mealworms (Tenebrio molitor), farmed for food and dried. In the bars they're ground into flour, in the lollipops you'll find them whole in dark chocolate.
-
What do they taste like?
They're reminiscent of roasted peanuts. In our products, though, what you mostly taste is the recipe: dates and chocolate in the bar, dark chocolate in the lollipop.
-
Are they approved?
Yes. The yellow mealworm is a novel food: EFSA assessed it and the European Union authorised its use in food. People allergic to crustaceans, molluscs or dust mites may also react to the larvae.
-
Why should I?
For variety. Chicken, tuna and tofu get old after a while: larvae are another source of complete protein, ready to eat.
- 9 out of 9 essential amino acids: complete protein
- EU larvae from authorised producers in the European Union
A lot or a little?
How much protein does it really have?
Grams of protein per 100 g, next to the foods you usually eat to get it.
- Protein bars 26 g
Indicative average values per 100 g; our product: value on the label. Sources: Small Giants guide.
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.
Crickets and larvae have all 9 essential amino acids, just like meat, eggs and dairy.
9/9essential amino acids
- Histidine
- Isoleucine
- Leucine
- Lysine
- Methionine
- Phenylalanine
- Threonine
- Tryptophan
- Valine
This refers to the protein source used in the product.
