"His food was locusts and wild honey." — Matthew 3:4
Many years ago, on the banks of the Jordan River, John the Baptist sustained himself on the natural foods the land provided. While consuming locusts may seem unusual today, these insects have been a valued food source across the Middle East for thousands of years—eaten fresh or dried and stored for leaner times.
Now, more than 2,000 years later, just miles from where John the Baptist lived, the first commercial locust farm in the world has been established. Biblical Protein's locusts are farmed by Hargol FoodTech, an Israeli start-up that pioneered the commercial cultivation of locusts using innovative growing methods and the highest food safety standards, in Northern Israel.
One of Nature's Most Remarkable Superfoods
Unbelievable yet true, the locust is one of the most efficient and nutritious sources of protein found in nature. Researchers have consistently praised its exceptional nutritional profile, and in an era where families are seeking nutritious and healthy foods locusts are a great source of proteins and an excellent way to get you essential nutrients.
Locusts are the only kosher approved insect in the Bible and are a remarkable testimony to God’s creative power. The creature itself is astonishing: it can jump 20 times its body length, fly 200 kilometers in a single day, multiply its body weight 15-fold in just two weeks, and grow its population 100-fold in three months.
These locust-based products have a mild, neutral flavor that blends seamlessly with other wholesome ingredients, making them a natural fit for a wide range of foods.
Be part of the thread that connects 2,000 years of history. Sourced from the banks of the Jordan River in the Holy Land, these locusts are a modern biblical experience unlike any other.
