Completely off-topic, but it's funny you mention this. A few weeks ago, I was looking at one of the stores I buy various odds and ends from that I can't find locally (fairly mainstream food-related shop that's known for selling nuts and dried fruits) and ran into cricket flour [1]. I suppose I shouldn't be overly surprised, but it's certainly unexpected. The allergy warnings are particularly interesting (shellfish).
If you're not sure about buying cricket flour, it appears they now sell orange ginger cookies made with it [2]. One of these days I might buy some. But, again, beware that people with shellfish allergies may react to crickets.

- roflchoppa 10y agoits pricy tho, at $15/lbs it might be good as an additive, but i dont think it makes a good base for the whole cookie? Perhaps added protein to protein bars? Im gonna grab some when i find a seller that i have a gift card to.
- Zancarius 10y agoOops. Sorry. Get busy and forget the check replies. I haven't used it, but yeah, it's better left as an additive, and it's definitely pricey. Adding it to protein bars is a fantastic idea. Nuts' products are a bit on the expensive end sometimes, but they sometimes carry hard to find items in bulk. (Although I'd probably avoid them for less commonly purchased items; sometimes they're stale!)
