Have a look in the shop and see what takes your fancy. Our products are naturally high in protein, simple to use and made to be enjoyed as food, not just bought for the novelty.

Start with Something Crunchy Whole roasted insects Crickets, mealworms and mixed insects, available plain, lightly salted or in a range of proper flavours. Cricket powder Finely milled cricket, naturally high in protein and easy to add to smoothies, baking, sauces and everyday recipes. The Bugvita Bug Box A selection of edible insects for curious eaters, unusual gifts and anyone who needs putting in their place after claiming they’ll eat anything. Ingredients and Manufacturing for Food Businesses We also supply insect ingredients in bulk and provide white-label packing and contract manufacturing for other food businesses. Whether you’re testing an idea, developing a new product or looking for someone to manufacture an existing one, we can help with anything from small trial runs to regular production. Why Eat Insects? Mainly because they’re good food. Edible insects are naturally rich in protein, versatile and already eaten in many parts of the world. They also offer some interesting possibilities for producing food using less land and fewer resources than conventional livestock. In our Learn section, we take a closer look at the evidence around nutrition, farming, sustainability and the increasingly important question of insect welfare and sentience. How We Make Our Products Our insects come from specialist farms in the UK and overseas, depending on the species and availability. Every batch is traceable through our supply chain, while preparing and packing the products ourselves gives us close control over the finished food. Whether you’re curious, hungry, buying an unusual present or developing a product of your own, have a look around. If you’re not sure where to begin, get in touch. Bugvita. Edible insects, properly prepared.
