Yum Bug and STOCKED give insects a ready-meal makeover
Do not adjust your sets, we are talking about edible insects. This might not be for you but if you’re interested in this little-explored protein source then read on…
Cricket meat company, Yum Bug is collaborating with STOCKED to launch a range of ready meals, making this sustainable food source super convenient.
Founded by designer Leo Taylor and entomologist Aaron Thomas, Yum Bug is bringing edible insects to the masses.
“We're on a mission to create a more sustainable food system by showing people bugs are really just delicious food. By partnering with STOCKED to create the new Chilli con Cricket, people now have the perfect way to try crickets at home in a quick, sustainable and delicious meal,” said Leo Taylor, CEO and co-founder of Yum Bug.
“STOCKED was born out of a hatred of waste. Our innovative packaging is a way to fit more food in less packaging and our Blocks allow people to choose their own portions. This means busy foodies can eat what's right for them each time and limit what ends up in the bin. Our customers care about the planet too, so we always have an eye out for innovative brands that are doing their bit to make our food system more sustainable. Then, along came Yum Bug! Our collaboration with Yum Bug is all about introducing our customers to a new source of protein in a dish they love, and hopefully introducing a few bug-lovers to the beauty of Blocks as well,” added Sam Moss, co-founder of STOCKED.
The limited-edition “Chilli con Cricket” is available online now.
