EATING INSECTS developed

I want to keep the food 'healthy' as this is what is important these days.
I want my product to be quite funny and light hearted, as people won't eat insects or buy food with bugs in them.

Insects I want to use in my project:



Caterpillar- 28.2g protein, no fat, no carbs, no calcium, 35.5mg iron.

Dung beetle: 17.2g protein, 4.3g fat, 0.2g carbs, 30.9mg calcium, 7.7mg iron.



June beetle: 13.4g protein, 1.4g fat, 2.9g carbs, 22.6mg calcium, 6.0mg iron.



Weevil: 6.7g protein, no fat, no carbs, no calcium, 13.1mg iron.


Cricket: 12.9g protein, 5.5g fat, 5.1g carbs, 75.8mg calcium, 9.5mg iron.



Locusts are a popular food in Algeria, cooked in salt water and dried in the sun.





Cicada- Japanese fry these insects and eat them, still to this day.

I want to produce packages for different types of food.

  • Starter
  • Main course
  • Dessert
  • Snack
ideas:

Weevil crisps
Weevils
Caterpillar cake (already in supermarkets)
LICK IT CRICKET
PICK IT CRICKET (maybe a tapas)
Sun dried locusts

Nutrition tables for food we eat:





Possible ideas for packaging- how insects hatch- from eggs, shells.. where they live etc..
