Chapul is focused on sustainable food production, primarily through the use of cricket protein. The company harnesses the nutritional benefits of crickets, which are rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals, while also being environmentally friendly. Crickets require significantly less land, water, and feed compared to traditional livestock, making them a more sustainable protein source. Chapul emphasizes the importance of reducing the ecological footprint of food production, and their cricket farming practices are designed to minimize environmental impact while maximizing nutritional output.

In addition to their commitment to sustainability, Chapul employs innovative processing techniques to create high-quality cricket protein products. These methods ensure that the protein retains its nutritional value and is suitable for various applications, including protein bars, snacks, and baking ingredients. The company is dedicated to educating consumers about the benefits of insect protein and aims to normalize its use in everyday diets, promoting a shift towards more sustainable eating habits. Through their products, Chapul seeks to lead the way in the alternative protein market, combining health benefits with environmental responsibility.

Chapul is the true pioneer behind the consumption of insects as a nutritious and sustainable alternative protein source. Chapul launched in 2012 with a successful Kickstarter campaign, and followed that up with an appearance on NBC's Shark Tank, where it secured an investment from Mark Cuban. Since then, Chapul has continued its mission of introducing insects into Western cuisine as a healthy and sustainable food, and is available at retail stores across the the U.S. and Canada in addition to online at www.chapul.com.
