Our Transformation Process
At Acrididea, we believe in full transparency from field to plate. Here's a detailed overview of our transformation process, which converts sustainably raised locusts into nutritious and delicious end products.
Step 1 : Responsible Farming
It all begins on our farm, where locusts are raised in optimal conditions that mimic their natural environment. We employ sustainable farming methods to ensure the health and well-being of the locusts while minimizing our environmental impact.
Step 2 : Respectful Harvesting
The harvesting of locusts is carried out carefully to ensure their well-being and preserve their nutritional quality. We follow strict protocols to ensure hygienic and humane harvesting, adhering to high standards of animal welfare.
Step 3 : Preparation and Cleaning
After harvesting, locusts undergo a rigorous cleaning process. They are carefully washed and inspected to ensure they meet our strict criteria for quality and food safety.
Step 4 : Drying and Processing
The locusts are then dried at a controlled temperature to preserve their essential nutrients. This gentle drying process ensures that the locusts retain their maximum nutritional value. Depending on the desired end product, locusts may then be ground into fine powder or left whole for various culinary uses.
Step 5 : Seasoning and Mixing
For our seasoned products, a rigorous selection of spices and natural flavors is added to enhance the taste of the locusts. Each recipe is designed to complement the unique flavor profile of locusts while providing an exceptional taste experience.
Step 6 : Eco-Friendly Packaging
We take great care in choosing sustainable packaging materials for our products. Our goal is to reduce waste and environmental impact while ensuring that products arrive fresh and in perfect condition to our customers.
Step 7 : Quality Control and Traceability
Before leaving our facility, each batch of products undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure its safety and compliance with food standards. We ensure full traceability of our products, from farm to table, thus offering total transparency to our customers.
