EntoKitchen® has been created to fill the growing need and market for edible insects. We didn't want to just sell our edible insects, our aim is to make them easier to adopt into day to day cooking, with healthy recipes & alternative treats. With an ever growing population, we need to come up with a sustainable solution to help fight hunger. We think eating insects could be the answer!
Why ENTOKITCHN®? Our 'Ento' comes from 'Entomophagy' which is the practice of eating insects. The 'Kitchen'... well that's our aim, we want our packets in your kitchen cupboards. Hopefully we can help you to replace 'Chicken Night' or 'Beef Night' with one of our tasty recipes, or just have fun with our tasty treats.
