👨‍🍳 Following the EU's legal go-ahead, into which foods could we start integrating insect ingredients?

In this edition of , we take a look at the recipes that have proven to tickle consumer tastebuds. According to studies, did you know that mealworm-enhanced recipes can produce:

🌮 Tastier and healthier tortillas?
🍰 Sponge cakes with increased sweetness and volume?
🍘 Toastier and crunchier crackers?

Indeed, incorporating mealworm ingredients into food doesn't have to compromise texture or flavor — in fact, it can heighten our appreciation of the food. And with up to 80% of consumers wanting to see more insect-based food products in supermarkets, perhaps more of us will be following tasty and sustainable insect-based diets sooner than we think!

There is good reason for humans to consume insects. Not only do insects meet our nutritional needs, containing high-quality protein…

Breaking news: our lesser mealworm has received the EU green light for human food! ✅

Thanks to the outstanding work of Ÿnsect Nederland, the European Food Safety Authority) has deemed a second insect of ours (following the yellow mealworm in 2021) safe for human consumption.

With production already steaming ahead at our Dutch plant, we are gearing up to commercialize our products across Europe. Why try products containing our ingredients?

1. Packed with protein, all essential amino acids, many vitamins and minerals
2. Neutral flavor allowing for the creation of versatile, tasty products
3. All natural, with minimal processing, as well as no antibiotics or pesticides
4. Sustainable, using much less land, resources, and carbon emissions than traditional livestock

A huge step for people, the planet... and insects, of course!

New study: compared with almond protein, our protein increases total protein intake without increasing energy consumption. In sum, it offers more protein with fewer calories.

This can have specific health benefits, especially for vulnerable people who require increased protein intake.

Furthermore, lesser mealworm protein was not found to provoke drowsiness, unlike almond protein, when the same amount of energy was ingested for each.

Conclusion: not only is our protein healthy, it has unique benefits for people with special dietary requirements, notably the vulnerable and elderly who require increased protein without the calories and fatigue!

Protein is considered the most satiating macronutrient, and its effect on satiety and food intake is source-dependent. For the first time, we compared the effect of the administration of an insect or almond preload, both containing 20 g of protein, on appetite and food intake in human subjects. Part...

: yes, mealworms are packed with protein... but did you know that their ingredients can also help combat obesity?

Contributing to one in 13 deaths in Europe and affecting 42+% of the American population, no country has yet to reverse the growth of the epidemic... but what if - alongside more classic approaches - mealworm protein could offer a solution?

Indeed, numerous studies on obese rats and mice have demonstrated that animals fed a diet with mealworm meal as the protein source produce visibly less fat tissue than animals fed a more typical casein diet, reducing total lipid content and cholesterol in the liver by 60% - boding very well for human nutrition, too!

How? Read on for a deep dive on the subject.

Studies on obese rats suggest that there may be a new innovation in the fight against obesity worth considering: insect protein.

« The main philosophy of my life is to do anything I could do at my small scale for a better world for everyone. On the last day of my life, I would like to be able to say that I have done everything I can to bring more harmony to this planet, even if it is a relatively small contribution. This is the “hummingbird and forest fire” philosophy: I want to do my part. » Antoine Hubert
