KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -The spring field cricket Gryllus veletis is able to survive the process of being frozen and thawing, but only if it is cold acclimated before being exposed to subzero temperatures. Because ice is impermeable to oxygen, the tissues of frozen crickets are probably hypoxic.

Detailed explanation-2: -Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Arrange the crickets on a cookie sheet, allowing each cricket to have a little room. Roast 1 hour, or until they’re dried and crunchy to your personal taste (I start testing at 40 minutes). Spray with just a little olive oil, and toss with spices.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cricket flour is produced from freeze-dried crickets. The crickets are then cooked to facilitate processing. They are pulverised into extremely fine bits after being cooked. The freezing, baking, and drying results in a powdered dark brown flour.
