Cricket flour snacks put to the test: do they really curb hunger?
NCT ID NCT07181408
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether baked snacks made with cricket flour or pea flour make people feel fuller than regular wheat snacks. One hundred healthy adults tried all three snacks and rated their hunger, fullness, and taste. The goal was to see if these alternative proteins could be used in foods to help with appetite control.
