JR Unique Foods Cricket Powder 100% Cricket — 0.22 lb (3.5 oz) Pure, High-Protein Baking & Smoothie Ingredient

JR Unique Foods' Cricketerra 100% Cricket Powder is a finely ground, shelf-stable powder made from about 1,100 pressure‑cooked crickets to deliver a compact source of complete protein for cooking and baking.

This 3.5 ounce (about 0.22 lb) pouch contains pure cricket powder with no added flours, fillers, or flavorings. The crickets are raised on FDA‑registered farms, fed a vegetable-based diet, hygienically prepared, then dehydrated, pressure‑cooked and milled into a neutral-tasting powder. Because it’s concentrated and shelf-stable, a small amount boosts protein and essential amino acids in many recipes without changing texture or requiring refrigeration.

How can I use cricket powder in everyday recipes?

Cricket powder blends into both sweet and savory preparations, making it easy to increase protein content in common dishes. Use it as a partial flour replacement, mix into spreads and smoothies, or fold into savory mixes for more nutrition without overwhelming flavor.

• Stir 1–2 tablespoons into smoothies, yogurt, or pancake batter for extra protein.
• Replace up to 10–20% of flour in baked goods like cookies, muffins, or energy bars.
• Blend into veggie burgers, meatballs, or bean recipes to improve texture and amino acid profile.
• Mix into peanut butter, sauces, or dressings for an unobtrusive protein boost.

What nutritional benefits does 100% cricket powder offer?

Cricket powder delivers a high-protein ingredient with a broad range of amino acids, including lysine, and meaningful amounts of micronutrients. It’s a concentrated source, so small servings provide protein comparable to larger portions of some animal proteins and adds calcium and B12 typically associated with dairy and fish.

• Approximately 70% protein by weight in the finished powder.
• Contains 17 amino acids, including lysine for muscle repair and metabolism.
• Provides micronutrients such as calcium and vitamin B12 in compact servings.
• Highly concentrated—about 1,100 crickets yield one pouch, optimizing nutrient density.

Is this product safe and how is it produced?

JR Unique Foods uses crickets sourced from FDA‑registered farms where insects are raised on vegetable diets under hygienic conditions. The production process includes dehydration and pressure cooking before milling, which reduces microbial risk and produces a fine, shelf-stable powder.

• Raised on regulated farms with controlled feed and cleanliness protocols.
• Crickets are pressure‑cooked and dehydrated to preserve safety and shelf life.
• No added flours, preservatives, or flavorings—label shows 100% cricket powder.
• Packaged in a compact, resealable pouch for convenience and freshness.

How much should I add and what does one pouch contain?

Each pouch contains about 3.5 oz (0.22 lb) of pure cricket powder. Because the powder is protein-dense, recipes typically call for small amounts; start with one tablespoon and adjust to taste and texture. A single pouch equals the protein from many larger-volume foods in a smaller, versatile serving size.

• Net weight: 3.5 ounces (approx. 0.22 lb) per pouch.
• Start with 1 tablespoon per serving for smoothies or spreads; 1–3 tablespoons for baking adjustments.
• Approximately 1,100 crickets processed into each pouch for nutrient concentration.
• Store in a cool, dry place; reseal after opening to maintain freshness.

Who is this for: This cricket powder is aimed at adventurous home cooks, bakers, athletes, and anyone seeking a compact, high‑quality protein source to enrich recipes. It’s also practical for sustainable-food advocates and pantry stockers who want nutrient-dense ingredients that store easily and integrate into everyday meals.
