Let's see, do I want apple/cinnamon, honey/oatmeal ....... or grasshopper/centipede?

Look, the U.N. wants you to eat more insects, because its a more sustainable way to get protein and you want to do what the U.N. says, right? Well, maybe you dont if it means roasting up some bugs for dinner, and listen, we agree. Really we do. Roasting is super work-intensive. What you need is a bug-based energy bar.
Luckily, Chapul has you covered. The company makes three flavors of cricket-based protein bar Chaco adds dates, chocolate, and nuts to the cricket powder; Thai incorporates coconut, ginger, and lime; and nut-free Aztec features cocoa, coffee, and cayenne. None of which sound half bad, if youre going to eat bugs. And if the reviews are to be trusted, they taste as good as they sound, though we cant verify that the reviews come from actual customers. All we can be sure of is that they dont come from crickets.
Chapul the companys name is the Aztec word for cricket sold 6,000 bars last month, so clearly theres a segment of the population thats willing to get over the ick factor of eating bugs. If perhaps not the ick factor of having to cook.
