1. PIZZA TOPPING & PIZZA DOUGH INGREDIENT

You can use crickets with pizza in two ways. Crickets can be a novel pizza topping that’s slightly shocking and crickets can be ground into powder and added to the pizza dough as another healthy way to deliver protein, prebiotic fiber, and antioxidants (and much more) to your pizza.

Adding crickets to your pizza creates conversation, boosts social media posts, and adds hard-to-get nutritional elements to your favorite food.
