The Small Giants extra touch
Roasted insects: what you're about to eat
House crickets (Acheta domesticus) and yellow mealworms (Tenebrio molitor), roasted and spiced. They're not ground: you'll find them whole in the tube or the bag.
-
What do they taste like?
Crunchy and full of flavour: they're reminiscent of peanuts, and sometimes have a note that brings shrimp to mind. First you taste the spices, then the toastiness.
-
Are they safe?
Yes. The house cricket and the yellow mealworm are novel foods: EFSA assessed them and the European Union authorised them. People allergic to crustaceans, molluscs or dust mites may also react to them.
-
What if I don't like them?
You've got 30 days to change your mind. If they're not for you, we'll refund you.
- 9 out of 9 essential amino acids: complete protein
- Insects, oil and seasoning That's it, nothing else
- B12 the vitamin insects are packed with
- Certified farms that are also authorised, for both the crickets and the larvae
More questions
How do I eat them?
On their own with a drink, in mini tacos with guacamole, coriander and onion, or as a topping on bowls, salads and pasta.
Are they sustainable?
They have a much lower environmental footprint than meat and fish: little water, little land, a fraction of the CO₂. The crickets come from Vietnam by ship, with negligible emissions.
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.
- Roasted insects 57 g

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.
