NEXT GENERATION SUPERFOODS ARRIVE IN AUSTRALIA

Hoppa superfoods are sustainable, unbelievably healthy… and made from crickets

Ethical food brand, Hoppa has launched in Australia with its tasty new range of super nutritious, incredibly healthy, extremely sustainable superfoods – all fuelled by the power of crickets. The introductory range includes baking flours, pastas and protein powders all using the small but mighty cricket to deliver maximum nutrition with minimum environmental impact.

Channy Sandhu – Founder of Hoppa says, “Crickets are very sustainable, delicious and unbelievably healthy. They’re good for you and good for our planet, so why wouldn’t you eat them? A lot of people are squeamish at the idea of eating insects but, they’re milled into a fine powder so you don’t actually see the insect, you just get all the goodness. Cricket powder has a very mild taste with many people describing it as slightly nutty.

“Many insects are packed with good, healthy fats. What’s more, they require less land, less water, less time, less food and produce fewer greenhouses gases. They also eat the bits of food that would otherwise be thrown away, such as banana skins, so they’re a wonderful source of earth-friendly protein. The Hoppa range harnesses all of these incredible health and eco-benefits – they really are full of goodness.”

The Hoppa range of cricket-fuelled foods is packed with goodness from responsibly raised insects with complete traceability, fed a high quality, nutritional diet. Crickets are a true natural superfood, rich in calcium, zinc and heme iron. These endless health benefits, not to mention their planet-friendly powers, make them a superb addition to everyday items such as pasta and flour.

The new 100% cricket baking flour is 60% protein, low in sugar and rich in many essential nutrients including amino acids, omegas, and vitamin B12. It’s also gluten and dairy free and Paleo friendly and can be used with any regular or self-raising flour.

Hoppa’s deliciously high protein cricket fusilli pasta and penne pasta both contain twice as much protein as your regular pasta. They are made from 100% natural cricket flour and durum wheat, packed with essential nutrients and can be paired with any pasta sauce for a tasty meal brimming with nutritional benefits.

Hoppa has also created a natural flavour protein powder made entirely from crickets.

Hoppa products can be ordered online and ship throughout Australia. Prices start from $19.99. To find out more and view recipes, visit: https://www.hoppafoods.com
