It's common knowledge that our consumption of animal protein is the biggest source of greenhouse gas emissions like methane to the atmosphere, which are a major contributor to climate change. Nevertheless, the idea of having food products made of insects and larvae as a more sustainable alternative to meat products is something that has been heavily discussed globally over the last few years. While we've learned to look at meat products sourced from livestock, wild game, and fish, as well as plants as our primary sources of protein, food products made from insects have been widely overlooked as a more sustainable source of protein that's just as high in nutrients. Not only are insect-based food products an extremely nutritious and healthy food source containing high amounts of fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, fiber and high-quality protein, but they're also a great way to battle against and even lessen the effects of climate change. That doesn't only apply to food products for humans, but also goes for pet foods and snacks made of meat. For Eco-conscious pet owners looking to provide their pets with a more sustainable alternative to those types of pet foods, go with Scout & Zoe's Super Fly Products.
Scout & Zoe's Super Fly products consist of a delicious jerky, whole larvae snacks, a ground larva powder food topper, and also an oil extract, all of which are created using black soldier fly larvae, making them high in protein and lauric acids, and also rich in ten essential amino acids, unsaturated fats, and other minerals.
All of Scout & Zoe's Super Fly pet food products ultimately offer pet owners and their pets a very sustainable source of protein that doesn't have a negative impact on the environment. Not only are these ultra-sustainable pet food products really nutritious for dogs and cats, but they're also an awesome protein source for birds, as well as for chickens, and also for reptiles and amphibians.
Furthermore, they also make for great alternatives of high-protein pet foods and snacks for pups and cats with allergies, as some pets might end up developing allergies to beef and chicken because they're overexposed to those foods.
Now, let's talk a little more about Scout & Zoe's Super Fly pet food products, discuss why using black soldier fly larvae as the only ingredient to produce these delicious fly larva pet treats is so beneficial for the environment, and check out the different options of pet food and snacks that are part of Scout & Zoe's Super Fly product line.
INGREDIENTS USED
When you consider that dogs and cats already eat worms and insects anyway, why not just provide your pets with pet treats made of such little critters?
The choice of using black soldier fly larvae to make these delicious and highly nutritious pet food products is based on the fact that these little buggers are a very sustainable source of protein, because unlike cattle, which requires huge amounts of water and other food ingredients to raise, black soldier fly larvae require minimal resources to grow, primarily relying on fruits and vegetables that have passed their prime and are unsuitable for sale in grocery stores or for use in restaurants.
What's more is that in comparison to cattle, which takes an average of 18 months to raise, black soldier fly larvae can be harvested in just 7-9 days. Because of that, Scout & Zoe is able to produce 100s of billions of larvae without any cost and also without utilizing any land resources.
