Toss the turkey and pass the crickets. With Thanksgiving just a day away and Christmas right around the corner, food and family are on everyone\u2019s mind. Whether it\u2019s bringing something to pass and eat or buying that perfect present, there is something out that covers both of those bases. But you have to have an open mind and pallet. <\/p>\n

In 2014, Exo burst onto the food scene launching protein bars made with cricket flour. Yes, you read that correctly, a protein bar with insect flour as an ingredient. \u201cOver 80% of the world\u2019s countries already do consume insects in some form,\u201d explained Exo PR & Communications Manager, Jessica Tran. \u201cAnd as protein as a micronutrient climbs as a trend, it intersects with the growing desire from consumers for products that are eco-conscious and nutritious.\u201d<\/p>

With familiar flavors like banana bread, apple cinnamon and my favorite, peanut butter and jelly, Exo is constantly working on new flavors for its consumers. \u201cWe can\u2019t say much,\u201d said Tran. \u201cBut we are always developing new flavors, products and iterations of our current products. Stay tuned!\u201d<\/p>\n

In March of this year, Exo was thrown into the spotlight even more as Hip-Hop legend Nas became an investor into this cricket company. \u201cIt\u2019s been really exciting to see Nas\u2019 support in our product,\u201d said Tran. \u201cNas has understood the mission behind insect protein and cares about food security.\u201d<\/p>\n

With so many protein products on the market, it can be overwhelming to pick the right one for you. Exo gives the consumer an opportunity to pick something that tastes great, using the resources we have and sees this as the just the beginning to creating a culinary cricket culture. \u201cSince we launched in 2014, we\u2019ve just had natural growth year by year,\u201d said Tran. \u201cWe are excited to keep raising the bar and to continue on our mission to make edible insects a normal part of people\u2019s diets.\u201d<\/p>\n
