Seek Food Announces Kickstarter to Fund Cricket Powder Line

When I heard about this, in the not-too-distant past, from our friend Robyn Shapiro, co-Founder of Seek Food, I thought it was a great idea…when I saw the Kickstarter campaign today, I discovered that it was more than a just great idea, it was a phenomenal idea.

Seek Food has launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund their new, and impressive line of cricket powders. You have several to choose from, each with its own unique, nutritional benefits package. The 4 types of cricket powder being made available are: All-Purpose, Gluten-Free, Paleo, and Pure/Keto. More on those later.

All from crickets, baby! Woohoo!

I checked out the cookbook’s impressive line-up of high-quality chefs and was WOW’d by all of the groundwork that must have gone into this cookbook project ahead of time. That, in and of itself, is a phenomenal feat to pull off. Proving the massive interest that the general public, and more specifically, the general Food Community has in eating not only crickets, and incorporating cricket-powder products into their regular diet, but also the entire smorgasbord of almost 2000 edible insects in the world today.

The cookbook will feature each of these world-class chefs (28 by my count) creating a recipe(s) using Seek Food’s cricket powders. It will be fun and fascinating to see what kind of fantastic dishes these chefs can formulate.

You know how we feel about crickets and cricket powder here at Ento Nation. 🙂

All we have to say is “Chirpety-Chirp, baby!”

It’s Happening!

Wow. I honestly can’t believe this day has come. We’ve officially launched a Kickstarter campaign to help us fund the next evolution in cricket nutrition. We’ve been listening, and this campaign will us allow us to bring you:

Four New Cricket Protein Flours. We have an all-purpose, gluten-free, and paleo blend plus a keto-friendly 100% pure protein powder!
Celebrity Chef Cookbook. To provide education, inspiration and empowerment, we will create a beautiful cookbook featuring a selection of recipes from our all-star team of chefs.

I know I say this a lot, but I can’t thank you enough for your continued support. Sometimes, when people learn about our effort to develop an industry for cricket protein, I hear that it is a worthy cause, but such a gigantic challenge. But, it is because of you that I am here and at it every day (and night and weekend too)! I am so happy you are on this journey with us, and here is how you can help this movement grow:

Back the campaign – there’s some awesome rewards!
Share on social media – this is the first launch of its kind, let’s make it viral
Email your foodie friends, family, colleagues, neighbors – help us spread the word

Make sure to watch our campaign video, a lot of heart and soul went into making it. A huge thank you to the team at FatHappyMedia for creating the brilliant animation, and to our team of chefs for their incredible contributions.

If you have any questions at all, please hit reply to ask. Thank you again for all your support and never stop seeking!
