So crickets!

Grilas powder is a product made by pulverizing domestically produced Futahoshi crickets using a unique method.
It is characterized by the flavor and umami of dried sardines and dried shrimp.

It is also packed full of nutrients derived from crickets.
Contains 76.3g of salt, especially protein, per 100g of Gryllus powder.
You can easily ingest protein just by adding it to your usual dishes.

You can eat it deliciously by adding it to potato chips or granola.

The hasselback potatoes we introduced this time are delicious even if you put cheese, avocado, salmon, etc. in the notched part.

Why Cricket?

The protein crisis that will occur in the future and the food loss problem that is currently occurring mainly in developed countries. In order to solve both of these problems, Grilas grows edible crickets using food waste as food.
