What superfoods are and why we use them<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The term superfood<\/strong> is often misused. Anything with a bit of extra vitamin C gets called a superfood. We use it precisely: for us, a superfood is an ingredient with an exceptional nutritional profile, backed by science, included in doses that actually make a difference.At AlphaFood we use four main superfoods<\/strong>. Here they are one by one with the numbers, not the promises.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n The most surprising superfood.\n <\/h4>\n <\/div>\n <\/header>\n\n
\n

\n Cricket flour is derived from Acheta domesticus<\/strong>,\n the house cricket authorized for human consumption by the European Union\n since 2022 (EU Reg. 188\/2022)<\/strong>.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n It contains up to 72% protein per 100g<\/strong>, with a\n complete amino acid profile that includes all essential amino acids,\n including lysine<\/strong> \u2014 often lacking in plant proteins.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n 1%<\/strong>\n CO\u2082 emissions compared to beef<\/span>\n <\/article>\n\n
\n 2%<\/strong>\n water required compared to beef<\/span>\n <\/article>\n\n
\n 2%<\/strong>\n microdose in our bars<\/span>\n <\/article>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n Compared to beef it produces 1% of CO\u2082 emissions<\/strong>,\n requires 2% of the water<\/strong> and takes up infinitely smaller spaces.\n That's why we chose it: not because it makes headlines, but because it works.<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n\n

\n In our bars we use it in microdoses<\/strong> \u2014 enough\n to contribute to the protein profile, not enough to change the taste\n or texture.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n
