This is difficult to say since the crickets from each harvest are all different in their average size.
Generally, it ranges from 1500 to 2500 crickets per pound.
The first thing many people say is that they taste like a nut. Chefs and more refined folk say that they have a nutty umani flavor to them.
Most people are surprised by the fact that they like the taste and many customers buy them in bulk because they like them so much.
About cleaned crickets: One big complaint is that the cricket legs get stuck in your teeth. Our crickets are cleaned to remove most loose legs and wings but you may want to clean them a bit more since legs and wings will break off during shipping.

It’s true, the legs can get stuck in your teeth. We cleaned them first. Then, they were delicious.

Arrived in two days! We added crickets to our salads and made cricket cookies. They’re great. I just had to return and leave a positive review. Great experience. Thanks!! We’ll be ordering again soon.

The crickets taste good but you need to clean the legs out first, they really do get stuck in your teeth. They aren’t too hard to clean though since in shipping most of the legs get separated from the body and then you just need to shake and sift them apart.

We’ve been having so much fun with these. Every kid in my class tried them with little hesitation. After my class enjoyed them, we had some left over so we offered them as munchies at a party. Adults were harder to convince but by the end of the night, all the adults had tried them and everyone loved them except for one person.
