Difference between old and new.
I ordered the first package (an 8 oz bag) in June of 2017, and it sat around for quite awhile, because I had no idea what to do with it. Fast forward to the beginning of 2019 and I drastically changed my diet. I began using the cricket flour to make “bread” as I’m avoiding other flour substitutes. The flour was very finely ground and had an amazing sort of nutty flavor and a slightly chewy texture after being baked. I loved it! I went through the 8 oz bag quickly, and ordered a 16 oz bag. I was very disappointed that the texture was more of a meal rather than a flour, and the flavor was still a little nutty, there was a distinct “earthy” taste, maybe even a little like dirt. The texture after the bake was crumbly instead of chewy, and I was just disappointed. Three stars are because I have no idea what the first bag was like when I first bought it, because it sat around for so long. Maybe it’s like this when it’s fresh? Unfortunately at this time, I’m unable to purchase another bag to see if maybe each batch is different, because it is a little cost prohibitive.
