Crickets and larvae in food by Tazebaez

Consume insects In your healthy and balanced diet, it is taking itself more and more seriously after the news that comes from some companies. The crickets and larvae in food by Tazebaez will be a reality by the end of 2019. At least, if the project Insect Label Biotech culminates successfully. The Alava company intends to obtain some products in this way healthy and sustainable as a pioneer in the sector.

For now, in an interview with the Agencia Efeat tazebaez they have already advanced how they want their are innovative snacks. All of them made with raw material from insects, the food of the future.

This is how they will introduce crickets and larvae into Tazebaez food

Responsible for Tazebaez Food Area, Iskander Alkate, highlighted the difference existing between your company and others in the sector. Insects are already being used to make energy bars or grasshoppers. But the latter covered in chocolate. This does not end to make these products aimed at bodybuilders "healthy", according to Alkate.

Hence, your startup is pioneering the use of crickets and larvae in food by Tazebaez, but focused on everyone. They are working on the design of some sweet and savory cookies made from cricket flour. For now, they rule out marketing this whole insect, because of the social rejection there is.

We want the taste to be practically imperceptible and to have enough nutritional contribution to differentiate our food from the rest. It must be very sustainable and healthy

In addition, from Insect Label Biotech they want to get a whole healthy product range, suitable for any time of day and with regulated protein load. Thus, it would be a snack sweet or salt that could "surprise" the consumer.

In general, the main reason for producing these crickets and larvae in food by Tazebaez is in devising a solution for the future. "There will not be food for everyone and beef will be luxury," he predicts Alkate.

That is why your company is starting to get ahead, although in Spain you cannot sell insects for human consumption yet. Legislation is "half done."
