No. Chittera is unflavoured and mild, closer to a light roasted nut than anything else. Stirred into food it reads as texture, not flavour.
Crickets are a crustacean relative, so anyone with a shellfish or crustacean allergy should avoid it. Every batch is produced under a food-safety plan with three critical control points.
14.9 g of whole-food protein per 20 g serve, at over 70% protein by weight, with all nine essential amino acids present.
Chittera is Australian-owned and packed in Perth, Western Australia, from cricket powder produced by specialist food-grade growers.
It is a single whole food that already contains the protein, B12, riboflavin and zinc other powders have to add back after processing.
Founding members
We have not launched yet, so there are no customer reviews here. There will be, and they will be real ones. Until then, the launch list is how you get in first.
The detail
How it compares to what else is on the shelf, and exactly how it is made. Nothing here you have to read to order.
Them vs us
| ChitteraCricket protein | WheyDairy-based | PlantIsolate blend | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ingredients | Single whole-food source | Dairy by-product + often added sweeteners & flavours | Isolate + often added flavours & gums |
| Processing | Farmed, roasted, milled | Heavily processed — filtered & spray-dried | Extracted & isolated |
| Added extras | None — nothing added | Often sweeteners, emulsifiers & anti-caking agents | Often added amino acids, B12 & thickeners |
| Whole-food source | 100% whole-food cricket | No — dairy by-product | No — processed isolate |
| B12 & zinc | Naturally occurring | Low — sometimes added | Low / none |
Most protein powders are built in a lab — isolated, stripped back, then topped up with the nutrients processing took out.
Chittera is the opposite. One whole-food ingredient, farmed and milled, with its protein, B12, riboflavin and zinc already there.
Comparison is to typical whey and plant protein powders; formulations vary by brand. Chittera figures are independently tested by an accredited laboratory.
