- Not to brag, but… 👀 De Morgen recently put 12 popular snack bars under the microscope, asking three dietitians to take a closer look at what's actually inside them. And TWO of those 12 bars came from our little corner of the snack aisle: KRIKET 🦗 and our plant-based sister brand Amanda 🌱. Pretty cool, right? But here's what we're even prouder of: we actually got people to eat crickets. When we started KRIKET back in 2018, the idea of eating insects raised quite a few eyebrows. Fast-forward to today, and we've convinced
- Well, that escalated quickly. 🚀 When we launched Amanda back in August, we had high hopes. But even we didn't expect things to move quite this fast. Just a few months later, Amanda has made its way onto the shelves of major Belgian supermarkets, sales are growing rapidly, and the feedback from customers has been overwhelmingly positive. Not bad for the new kid on the block. 😊 Of course, none of this happened overnight. Since launching KRIKET in 2018, we've had our fair share of wins, setbacks, experiments and lessons learned. And
- What if you could reduce the CO₂ emissions of your protein consumption by up to 100 times, simply by choosing a different snack? 🌍 Sounds pretty good, right? At KRIKET, we're pioneering an alternative protein source that could help slow down global warming, one bar at a time. Because let's face it: cows are cute, but their farts? Not exactly great for the planet. 💨 So naturally, we joined the Climate March in Brussels last Sunday! Alongside tens of thousands of people who believe the climate doesn't exactly have time to spare. We
- They called our session Surviving the Valley of Death. Which, if you’ve ever built a food company, probably tells you enough. 😅 FXT Connect 2026 brought together entrepreneurship, bold ideas and food innovation, and we were very happy to be part of it. We got to share some of the less glamorous sides of building a business alongside Lore Beckers Lore Beckers from NOA, and a panel with Sigrid Severijns from Life is Bananas and Matthias Pletinckx from Drizzle. Turns out there’s something strangely therapeutic about sitting in a
- By 2050, we’ll have almost 10 billion people to feed. More people. More demand for protein. And less room to produce it the way we always have. We’ve been shouting this from the rooftops for a while now. Turns out, the researchers are shouting with us. 👀 A new Belgian study, featured in De Standaard, looked at what it would actually take for Belgium to become climate neutral by 2050. The conclusion is pretty clear: tweaking the current system won’t be enough. We need a system shift in how we use our land, produce our food and
- In 2017, KRIKET was born at our kitchen table. The mission? Pretty straightforward! Even if the road ahead wasn’t. Make alternative protein accessible to a wider audience through healthy snacks that actually taste good. 😌 What followed was one hell of a rollercoaster. 🥵 A pandemic. Climate fatigue. Wars. Rising costs. And quite a few moments when sticking crickets into snack bars didn’t exactly feel like the easiest business decision. So why did we keep going? Because change is happening! In 2014, only 19% of Belgians was open to
- Half the year is gone. We'd say time flies when you're having fun. Truth is, we've just been very, very busy. 🥵 👀 Hosted our first shareholder get-together after last year's crowdfunding. 🛒 Convinced Delhaize Belgium stores across the country that our floor displays deserve prime real estate. 🚲 Popped up in climbing gyms, pilates studios and coffee bars. 💚 Introduced KRIKET to 400,000 CERA members. 🍕 Celebrated 25 years of trividend (one of our kick-ass investors) with pizza. We have a strict no-skipping-parties policy.
- Can you imagine a world without sushi? 👀 Neither can we. Yet not that long ago, the idea of eating raw fish wrapped in seaweed sounded downright bizarre to many people. Ask your grandparents and there's a good chance they'll still raise an eyebrow. 🤭 Fast forward to today and you can buy sushi at supermarkets, train stations and practically every street corner. Funny how quickly "weird" becomes normal. 🤓 That's why we often compare crickets to sushi. Not because they're the same thing, but because they face the same challenge:
