Visiting 153 Farm

On October 11 2021, our EcoSave team got an opportunity to visit the Two Spotted Cricket 153 Farm in Goyang. Over there, we got to see millions of Two Spotted Crickets and also learned a lot about them. we got to learn about their environment and how the representatives of the farm replicated the environment in terms of temperature and humidity.

After learning a lot about these crickets, we also learned the purpose and benefits of breeding the crickets. Produced crickets are turned into powder for usage of food and living crickets are sold for reptile food. These crickets are nutritionally excellent foods that are high in protein, unsaturated fatty acids, amino acids and more. we later got to cook and eat the edible crickets. Although at first glance it looked not appetizing, after learning about their nutrition, it made it easier for us to eat. Surprisingly, the edible insects were not as bad as we thought it would be.
