What does Flying Spark do?
Flying Spark has developed a technology to produce animal protein out of fruit fly larvae, enabling new ways of incorporating larvae protein into high-value food products for human consumption on an industrial scale. The company's protein powder is cholesterol-free and rich in iron, calcium, and magnesium. It also has a high essential amino acid profile, high bioavailability, and low glycemic index. Flying Spark's technology combines the farming and processing of the larvae, creating an efficient biological factory that can transform a low-cost proprietary diet into high-quality protein powders. The larvae have an extremely short lifecycle and rapid growth, making them an affordable source of animal protein. In addition, the process utilizes virtually no water or land and produces neither waste nor greenhouse gas emissions.
