Small inventory of our edible insects.
Our edible insects 100% French
Our edible insects are born and bred in France, more precisely in Vienne which makes them real little French. This allows us to bring you the best guarantees of quality and traceability. We have developed a powerful heating system that reduces its environmental impact and a real virtuous cycle, as the residues left by the insects are a natural fertilizer, the resources used for farming return to feed the soil that produced them .
Quality food, making them quality products
Our insects are fed with cereals and vegetables from organic farming from local producers. We perfectly control the cycle of reproduction of insects: for this we adapt the heat, hygrometry and living environment to offer the most comfortable growth possible. Indeed, insects are born and live in an environment specially created for them and to be as close as possible to their natural ecosystem! Our products are manufactured in our workshop in Coulombiers, near Poitiers, allowing us to perfectly control the manufacturing by providing a special care to the quality of the ingredients we use.
... and after all that, why eating edible insects?
A picture is worth a thousand words.
Tenebrio Molitor
Today we breed a single species of edible insects, the Tenebrio Molitor, better known as the flour worm.
Tenebrio Molitor is an edible insect with several stages of development:
Stage 1
The egg: eggs laid by the adult form, invisible to the naked eye, take about ten days before hatching to give a larva.
Stage 2
The larva: Edible form, will grow and grow by succesive moults for ten weeks, before stopping and turning into a nymph.
Yes, it is at this stage that we use them to make you discover all the benefits of insects!
Stage 3
The nymph: Potentially edible form, generally inactive, will undergo a metamorphosis to give the adult form.
Stage 4
The adult: comes in the form of a beetle "the mealweed sucker" which is not edible will reproduce and thus give future offspring.
You may not know it yet but most of the edible insects do not drink: they recover water naturally present in the food they ingest but also water in the atmosphere. Of all the edible insects, the flour worm is certainly a true champion.
