They are soaked with proteins, macro and trace minerals such as phosphorus, potassium, calcium, zinc and iron – all needed by our bodies for every day health and wellbeing.

Grasshoppers’ oil contains high quantities of polyunsaturated fatty acids, neutral lipids, glycolipids and phospholipids, which are critical for body cells to function well.
