What is “The Beetles” Protein Snack made of?

“The Beetles” is crafted from textured insect protein (TIP), a sustainable and nutritious alternative protein source. It’s an innovative product that meets the highest quality standards. TIP boasts a rich mineral composition, including iron, zinc, magnesium, and other essential microelements that provide energy, while its high-quality proteins contribute to a healthy diet.

What is Textured Insect Protein (TIP)?

TIP is a revolutionary and healthy protein source made from naturally nutritious ingredients. One such ingredient is mealworm larvae (Tenebrio Molitor), categorized as a Novel Food product and approved by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). Products falling into this category undergo scientific research to ensure safe consumption.

Mealworm larvae are exceptionally rich in high-quality complete proteins and vitamins. Whether you consume quality meat, fish, or insects, the health benefits are the same. They also contain monounsaturated fats and Omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential components of a healthy and balanced diet. Studies have shown that consuming insect proteins can help lower cholesterol levels.
