Why products with insect powder?

In 2013 FAO publishes "Edible insects: future prospects for food and feed security." Here, the food challenges we will face are listed and quantified, particularly those related to increased demand for protein.

FAO identifies insects as the best viable and best performing answer we can give.

An insect is composed of about 60 percent noble protein (i.e., containing all 9 essential amino acids) and is 80 percent edible.

Beef contains about 25 percent noble protein and is 40 percent edible.

In addition, insects are also rich in vitamin B12, iron, zinc and other nutrients.

Raising insects is sustainable.

Insects fit perfectly into the dynamics for the development of the circular economy:

  • they feed on plant matter,
  • they have an extraordinary ability to convert nourishment into noble proteins,
  • waste and residues from their breeding are an instant fertilizer,
  • they emit about 100 times less greenhouse gases than livestock,
  • insect breeding can be developed vertically with significant soil savings (ca -90% compared to cattle breeding for the same amount of protein obtained) and recovery of abandoned areas/buildings.

Insect powders are the answer

Already there are about 2 billion people in the world who consume edible insects every day.

Today the world is interconnected, incredible new ingredients are arriving from the four corners of the planet to merge with others that we never had anything to do with before.

All this creates new opportunities, unexpected combinations, surprising synergies.

At Fucibo we believe that the use of insect powders is the way forward to give a concrete and responsible answer to the need for a new, more conscious and sustainable food.

How we use insect powder

We are Italians and we know that eating is not only feeding, but it is the mingling of cultures, traditions, knowledge, fragrances, tastes and innovation.

That is why we have chosen to be the first Italian company to propose foods with insect powders that are beautiful to see, fragrant and good to eat.

Our mission is to bring Italian gastronomic excellence into the future, to make Innovation and Tradition interact to cover new, surprising synergies. Insect powders are safe to eat according to what the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), based in Parma, has established.

For our products we use only insect powders authorized by the European Commission respecting the limits of use and we are certified by Entotrust, the first independent organization in Europe specialized in insect products.

Insect meal products are good to eat and good for you.
