Launching an Edible Insect Business, Part III: Product

Current products on the market Part II gave us an idea of the products are currently available in the UK market. We could categorise them thusly: Insect-based snacks Unflavoured roasted insects Insect-derived ingredients Insect-based snacks The snacks are insect-based substitutes for foods such as bags of crisps and bags of nuts. Generally they’re low-weight (<35g) and are single-portion. These seem to come in two forms, either flavoured insects by themselves (often crickets), or a more traditional mix of fruits/vegetables with a few insects thrown in (often mealworms).
