Protein for a better world
Aketta crickets are an excellent source of protein and other nutrients. And they have a much smaller impact on the environment than traditional livestock, so you can feel good while doing the planet good.
Why the name“ Aketta”? We don’ t eat“ cow” or“ pig,” we eat beef and pork. Aspire wants customers to associate crickets with the word Aketta in the same way. Crickets are a sustainable, farmed food source, not a pest or something plucked from the wild. Aspire realizes that if insects are going to be a consumer product, we need a new vocabulary to normalize the idea.
The crickets are raised at a facility in Austin, Texas. They eat USDA-certified organic feed and live in a clean, healthy environment. They’ re processed in a gluten-free, certified organic kitchen, then packaged up and sent out to customers to enjoy.
