How it compares
| 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 — naturally occurring, never fortified. Nothing added because nothing needs to be.
14.9 g of whole-food protein per serve. Unflavoured, so it disappears into whatever you’re already making.
Comparison is to typical whey and plant protein powders; formulations vary by brand. Chittera figures are independently tested — see the full nutrition panel.

Questions
The things worth asking.
What does it taste like?
Mild and subtly nutty, and completely unflavoured. It is meant to disappear into whatever you add it to rather than dominate it.
How do I use it?
Add one 20 g scoop to water, milk or a smoothie, or stir it into coffee, oats, yoghurt or baking. Start with one serve a day.
Is it safe if I have allergies?
Chittera is not suitable for anyone with a crustacean or shellfish allergy. Crickets may also trigger a reaction in people allergic to dust mites. If you are unsure, speak to your doctor before trying it.
Why crickets?
Gram for gram they are among the most nutrient-dense foods available: 74.6 g of protein per 100 g, alongside naturally occurring vitamin B12, riboflavin, zinc and potassium. Nothing is fortified and nothing is isolated.
What is actually in the bag?
Roasted cricket powder (Acheta domesticus), 100%. There is no second ingredient.
Where is it made?
The crickets are farmed in Thailand. The powder is analysed by an accredited laboratory and packed for Chittera in Perth, Western Australia.
How should I store it?
In a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Reseal the pack after each use.
