Insect Proteins: Ecological, economical and good for your health!
For a while, a new source of protein has been raging: insects (crickets, grasshoppers, locusts). Knowing that insects are an excellent source of complete protein for humans, is there not a need for more interest? In addition, insect farming requires far fewer resources than any other source of protein, including meat. It is with this in mind that the Naak bars were born! New on the bar counters of the Sporthèque, the Naak bar is an energy bar with exceptional nutritional properties, designed by athletes for athletes. Yes ! Naak bars are made from cricket powder!
A winning alternative on several points
For some time now, many health experts have agreed that we need to reduce our consumption of meat. Here come insects as true superheroes of food! Their protein content is really impressive!
We need much less insects than beef to be satiated. Not to mention that insects are also an excellent source of amino acids. Insect consumption is also good for vegetarians and people who do not want or can not eat dairy products. Vitamin B12 intake, which is often lacking for vegetarians, makes insects an excellent choice to consider.
The production of insects, described as hyper-ecological, pollutes considerably less than that of meat and fish. Insect farming also reduces the so-called ecological footprint of food transportation simply because it is easy and fast to grow and locally feasible.
You will understand that insect farming is also very economical. Crickets and grasshoppers, for example, need little. They are kept at high temperature and organic waste is enough to feed them. Experts have even said that the production of insects is so accessible that it could eventually solve some problems related to famine on the planet.
Naak bars
Created for athletic performance, the Naak Bar is also suitable as a snack for any active person. The bars contain only natural ingredients without refined sugars. The nutritional value of Naak bars and its physical characteristics have also been studied to ensure that they meet the endurance athlete's energy and recovery needs during and after exercise. Cricket powder is the main source of protein in this vitamin-rich, mineral-rich product known to require few resources to produce.
Try it, you have everything to gain!
