EDIBLE INSECTS CRAWL ON STAGE

April 5, 2017 - Packaged foods with bugs as ingredients are a popular topic in Western countries, but now the conversation has arrived in South East Asia and even in China. In Thailand, edible insects are now on supermarket shelves. In China, some articles appeared for the first time in the media. Bugsolutely will contribute to spread the word to food professionals by promoting edible insects at food forums in Singapore and Shanghai.

Food Vision Asia
At Food Vision Asia Bugsolutely will be represented by Nathan Preteseille, on April 26th. Nathan’s presentation will focus on the evolution of the insect food, with examples of packaged products from 2014 to 2017, including the case of Cricket Pasta, the first pasta with 20% cricket flour. He will also present some ideas to overcome preconceptions of bugs as food, including for example the exceptional nutritional properties, such as protein, minerals, vitamins, fibres and omega 3.
