Research, Technology & production for insect based food & feed

Explore Tecmafoods

This is a story of a small hero.

In a world grappling with food insecurity, climate change, food waste, power nutrition and rising CO2 levels, the mealworm is making a mark. Efficiently consuming food waste, it helps curb greenhouse gas emissions. As a wholesome food ingredient, it offers a protein-rich, nutritious alternative.

An alternative food industry for people and planet wellbeing.

Harnessing the might of mealworms, we extract powder, protein, and oils to enhance various foods with robust nutrition, infusing meals with proteins, good fats, and vital micronutrients. Simultaneously, their frass enriches our soils, promoting a circular, sustainable food production cycle, that not only feeds us but heals our planet too.

Research & production of nutritious and sustainable food with less impact.
