Cricket protein powder jumps into Michigan’s food scene

Protein is having a moment, with powders available in a variety of flavors and base ingredients. The Green Leap, a family-owned business based in Grand Rapids derives their protein powder from a source you probably won’t find at Meijer: crickets. We visited Montse Rosales Osoria at her cricket farm in West Michigan, plus the kitchen where she roasts and packs the final product.  Helpful links: Find The Green Leap website here Find bonus footage on our website here Read what the U.N. has to say about insect consumption here Read a study about the nutritional benefits of cricket consumption here Give us your suggestions!
