Bugsolutely's Cricket Pasta, a superfood containing 20% cricket flour, is on an International roadshow

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/06/2016 -- Cricket Pasta is on the road. During May, Bugsolutely will be an exhibitor at two fairs dedicated to food innovations. The only pasta in the world with 20% cricket flour will be showcasing in Milan, from 11 May to 14 May, together with hundreds of other food companies. And at the end of May, Cricket Pasta will fly to Detroit for the first ever edible insect dedicated event.

Seeds&Chips gives room to edible insects
Seeds&Chips is an International Fair dedicated to food innovation from farm to fork. Hundreds of companies of all sizes in food, media and investment will share contents and experiences. The fair includes an exhibition area and a series of conferences packed with experts from all over the world. Among other names there will be Metro Group, Barilla, Accenture, Elior, Lavazza, Google Food and a number of food accelerators and VCs. The edible insect companies officially attending the event are Entocube (farming technology, from Finland), Italbugs (R&D, Italy), Entonote (educational, Italy) and of course Bugsolutely, coming armed with samples and demos from Bangkok.

For the first time, bugs are the protagonists: Detroit
At Eating Insects Detroit 2016, there will be speeches from experts in anthropology, entomology, nutrition and also from companies that are building the booming ento-market. Bugsolutely will be there represented by Nathan Preteseille, who will be speaking at the conference providing an overview of the Thai market, and with a booth in the exhibhition area, where packages of Cricket Pasta may be purchased.

The edible insect revolution is now
More than a couple hundred edible insect startups entered the western market in 2015 alone. This phenomenon should not be a surprise. Some people still consider insects as "creepy", but they eat plenty of other frightening (and unhealthy) things, just because it is culturally accepted. Surveys indicate that 30% to 50% of the population would like to try edible insect products. Our Cricket Pasta, which is 20% cricket flour and 80% wheat flour, makes those acceptance rates even higher. By integrating the crickets into a familiar product, the perception changes and everyone can experience how tasty insects can be. This new superfood is also high in sustainability. Crickets need very little food and water (1,000 times less than a cow) and they grow very quickly. For this reason, the United Nation's FAO and other International organizations are supporting the much needed diffusion of edible insects in western countries.

Sustainable. Tasty. Healthy. Cricket Pasta, a superfood containing 20% cricket flour

New York, NY -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/07/2016 -- The most common food in the world gets a revolutionary makeover. Bugsolutely proudly announces Cricket Pasta and enters the fast growing market of food products based on edible insects. Cricket Pasta features a remarkable amount of nutritional values, including high protein, calcium, iron, vitamin B12, and Omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids.

This new superfood is also high in sustainability. Crickets need very little food and water (1,000 times less than a cow) and they grow very quickly. For this reason, United Nation's FAO and other International organizations are supporting the diffusion of edible insects in western countries (insects are already part of the human diet in Asia, South America and Africa). According to the experts, insects are the protein of the future. For example. 70% of crickets are made of protein, an outstanding amount.

Healthy, sustainable but also tasty

Bugsolutely Cricket Pasta is the result of months of R&D. It's made from a mix of durum semolina flour, wheat flour and cricket flour sourced from selected, certified suppliers. The production chain follows international standards and the product is Thai FDA approved. Thanks to the cricket flour the pasta gets a brown color and a nutty taste. The product is available as fusilli, in a 350 gr (12.3 Oz) sealed package. Other pasta formats will be released in 2016.

The edible insect revolution is booming

In October 2015 the European Parliament voted in favor of a new regulation leading to a green light for edible insects and some EU countries are already accepting them as food. The US FDA only requires the edible insects to be raised for human consumption and the food to be safe. For these reasons, more than one hundred startups entered the market in 2015 alone. This phenomenon should not be a surprise. Some people still consider insects as "creepy", but they eat other frightening (and unhealthy) dishes, just because it is culturally accepted. Surveys indicate that 30% to 50% of the population would like to try them. Our cricket pasta makes that even easier, by processing the crickets into a fine flour and then into pasta. Without the shape of the cricket, the perception completely changes.
