Entrepreneur Sees Crickets As The Next Culinary Sensation

August 2, 2014: 12:00 AM EST
The entrepreneur who founded Bitty Foods, a company focused on using crickets as ingredients in baked goods, believes she’s on the leading edge of an emerging culinary sensation bigger than quinoa. She first tasted – and liked – cooked mealworms and crickets on trips to Southeast Asia and Mexico. Back home she did some experimenting and eventually launched her current business. Roasted mealworms have a nutty flavor, and could appeal to people following the Paleo diet, says Megan Miller, but they have one major drawback: they trigger Americans’ gag reflex. Crickets, however, evoke memories of  “pleasant summer nights and crickets chirping”.
