Our insects are organically prepared by freeze-drying. By working together with multiple organic insect farms who follow strict guidelines in humane insect farming

Freeze-Dried insects contain around 2% water and retain their original color, form, size, taste and texture. Moisture content is removed through the use of cold temperatures and since the food remains frozen during the process, the food’s cell structures do not change.

 Raising human grade insects is relatively a low maintenance process. For example, Ideal conditions for raising crickets, are between 30 and 35 degrees Celsius and 40 to 70 percent humidity. As cold-blooded invertebrates, insects generally don't expend energy to keep warm and thus require less natural resources to thrive. such as crickets, require six times less feed than cattle, four times less than sheep and two times less than pigs to reap the same amount of protein.
 When it comes time for breeding, all the cricket farmers have to do is place some soil into the boxes for the insects. Once the eggs are produced, the farmers take them out of the soil for incubation, each female lays between 100 and 200 eggs. Unlike bees or ants, crickets don’t have a larval stage, instead hatching fully formed from eggs after about a week and growing straight to adulthood. 

Harvesting the crickets and other insects is also relatively the same process. Deep freeze is the most humane for the insects, as they slowly fall asleep until the pass away. A majority of Insects get their heat from outside their bodies and have very little ability to regulate their temperature internally. When crickets get too cold, they go into a torpor state—their biological response—and essentially go to sleep until they die. Eventually, the bugs freeze solid and can be grinded down to a fine grain or flour like consistency.
