HELSINKI–Finnish bakery and food service company Fazer launched on Thursday, Nov. 23, what it said was the world’s first insect-based bread to be offered to consumers in stores.
The bread, made from flour ground from dried crickets as well as wheat flour and seeds, contains more protein than normal wheat bread. Each loaf contains about 70 crickets and costs $4.72 (3.99 euros), compared with 2 to 3 euros for a regular wheat loaf.
