Cricket Paleo Bread

Crickets are a great alternative for people who want to get the benefits of the Paleo diet, but don’t feel like eating meat. Crickets and other insects have been called the most true Paleo protein. Researches suggest our earliest ancestors were eating insects and berries, not meat with every meal. And unlike big animals, crickets are ingested whole with no waste.

On top of that, you’re eating something minimally processed and packed with other great nutrients like vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
