I have just been listening to BBC Radio 4's Farming Today programme which has just featured a report from Thailand on Cricket Flour, specifically pasta manufactured from flour which comes from crickets, the insects! Anyone seen this on sale anywhere in Thailand? Be interested to try it.

I cannot help you finding cricket flour, but i you do find some it would be very expensive, as i have heard about people making cricket flour 5 kilos of crickets to produce 1 kilo flour.

I've got one in my garden free to any flour maker - it drives me mad with its noise when I'm watching TV.

It's available here http://www.bugsolutely.com and I have two bags of cricket pasta on order.

actually it takes 3 kg of crickets to make a kg of flour, and it is still the most sustainable way to produce meat. Compare that with cattle and you will see! It is still expensive only because the production process is new and not automatized, more of an artisan way to dry and mill the crickets. But in North America they are improving the processes

Sorry you are wrong. My wife grows crickets.

Recently i experimented with some dried them and ground them to make flour.

500 grams of crickets produced 116 grams of cricket flour.

A lot of hard work just to get 116 grams.
