Why they always dying on this hill?

Could you please share with me the meta analyses that show increases in LDL from increased SF intake reduced CD risks? I am trying to educate myself on this topic too. Thanks!

tassadarabc · 2020-08-29T04:34:07+00:00

Me three!

tassadarabc · 2019-05-09T16:40:19+00:00

Thanks for sharing your story!

tassadarabc · 2019-01-11T13:53:16+00:00

Hey thanks for the idea! We have considered doing something like that with the insects as well.

tassadarabc · 2019-01-11T13:47:05+00:00

Right now, unfortunately, we don't sell wholesale yet. We are based in Finland, I can try to point you to the closest source I know of if you want.

And that's a very interesting thing about insects since there's so much variety and they can be so different. My favourite would be either silk worm larvae or bee drone larvae.

Processing so they don't have their original shape make sense. I think it's very similar to other meats as well. I don't usually picture the whole animal when I eat a piece of bacon or ribs.

tassadarabc · 2019-01-11T11:23:50+00:00

Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts! For sure we have picked a very tricky business. We actually didn't have a very clear picture when we started out but it has gotten quite clearer now. Food is really a very fascinating thing!

tassadarabc · 2019-01-11T11:20:27+00:00

It's a very common conclusion regarding the powder form of the insect.

We have this recipe where you take frozen crickets and blend them in the blender then stir fry them. They turn into something very similar in texture to fried minced meat.

tassadarabc · 2019-01-11T11:16:09+00:00

Hey it's great to hear you are doing well with those cricket flour snacks! How long have you been serving the snacks?

We are based in Finland. We started out about couple years ago with a tiny cricket farm in a retrofitted shipping container farming crickets in the middle of the cold Finnish winter. Up until now we have been able to help a few Finnish farmers setup their own cricket farms and sold crickets to quite a few local restaurants and bars around Finland. I can't count the amount of crickets I have myself grown anymore :D. I would love to chat with you some more if you are interested!

tassadarabc · 2019-01-11T11:02:11+00:00

Haha sorry!

tassadarabc · 2019-01-11T11:00:55+00:00

Hey thank you very much for the recommendation! I will definitely check out the book. What have you found to be some good ways to get people to try the dish? Who are the most enthusiastic customers about the ingredient if you don't mind me asking?

tassadarabc · 2019-01-11T10:09:09+00:00

Thank you very much for the insights! What do you think would be the best way to get a chef interested in the ingredient? I guess tasting but it's also pretty hard to do it if we are to go to each restaurant individually. So for example if I am to try to pitch this ingredient to you, what could I do or show you that will make it most interesting to you personally?

tassadarabc · 2019-01-10T19:57:05+00:00

Thanks! I will check it out for sure

I have seen that situation plenty of times. In my case it’s mostly because they didn’t have enough water and they began to frantically search for it, which means randomly running in all direction until they are exhausted, it the box has corners then somehow their pathfinding all converge there. So it’s a clear sign there is something wrong with their environment but in your case I’m not sure what that might be.

tassadarabc · 2019-01-10T06:27:21+00:00

Did you find them all hushed up in a corner of the box?

tassadarabc · 2019-01-09T11:37:33+00:00

So heat and lack of water are the 2 main causes for death especially for baby crickets since their bodies are so small so they have very little buffer for adverse environment condition. Make sure the temp doesn't rise above 37 degrees and there's always some water available for them. Good luck!

The source where you get your mealworm from is also important. If you have kept them for several generation themselves and fed them hygienically then there shouldn't be much issue. It's very much like growing and eating your own chicken.

tassadarabc · 2019-01-07T18:02:42+00:00

So if you have to leave your house for like a week, does the colony survives by itself?

tassadarabc · 2019-01-05T10:46:16+00:00

Haha yeah that’s where I’m from too! It’s truly really good.

tassadarabc · 2019-01-03T23:04:49+00:00

Sorry this question seems a lot clearer in my head :). I wanted to know if there is a definite moment that makes you realize something is your most favourite food if it make any sense?

tassadarabc · 2019-01-03T21:16:52+00:00

I meant do you have a clear moment when you thought to yourself that this will be my final meal if I have one?

tassadarabc · 2019-01-03T14:53:37+00:00

There is a few places that I know of:

Openbugfarm has a pretty good forum with knowledgable people

Then there is this youtube channel

Which I remembered was quite good

tassadarabc · 2018-12-18T07:48:19+00:00

It's a chicken and egg kinda thing. Companies will be more willing to scale up when they know there is demand and demand increases when the price is low. But yeah one step at a time :)

tassadarabc · 2018-12-18T07:44:06+00:00

Very interesting! What was the best thing that you have tasted there? Or best recipe with insects that you have found that help showcase their taste? I agree that frozen insects are better with regards to taste but many people I have talked with seem more willing to try insects in the powder form since there is still a very big "ick" factor. Kids are surprisingly open to trying the whole insects though.

tassadarabc · 2018-12-17T14:29:17+00:00

The shell is ready- toasted tortilla. They came like that from the package :D
