Detailed explanation-1: -Crickets, for example, contain about 25 % monounsaturated fats, 20 % saturated fats, and 55 % polyunsaturated fats, including the heart healthy omega-3s in concentrations similar to salmon which is considered one of the best omega-3 sources.

Detailed explanation-2: -Some cricket species are also a complete protein, which means they contain all of the nine essential amino acids you need in your diet. While animal-derived foods, like meat, eggs, and milk, and some plants, like quinoa and soy, are complete proteins, most plant-based foods have some amino acids but not others.
