Entosense, LLC runs EdibleInsects.com from Lewiston, Maine, and it sells exactly what the name says: insects you can eat. Its stated aim is to make edible insects part of everyday eating in North America, and the shop covers both sides of that. There are practical ingredients, such as plain roasted crickets by the pound, mealworms and cricket flour, and there's a big range of novelty snacks that make good gifts, party favors and dares.

It suits curious cooks, people who like trying unusual foods, teachers running a class on food from around the world, and anyone shopping for the person who has everything. Prices are in US dollars, many items can be bought on subscription, and there's a buy now, pay later option at checkout.

What's worth a look

Six things from its current range, with today's prices.

If you want to cook with insects, start with Crickets By The Pound ($39.95), plain roasted crickets with a mild, earthy flavor that work as a topping or ingredient. The Grasshopper Salt ($16.95 for 113 grams) is a traditional Mexican seasoning for rimming cocktail glasses or adding to salsas. For snacking, the Mini-Kickers Spicy set ($16.95) gives you three tubes of about 100 crickets each, in mango habanero, jalapeño garlic and Mexican mole.

Then there are the showpieces. The Edible Scorpion 4-Pack ($23.95) is pitched as a cake decoration or party favor, Scorpion Battle Brittle ($5.95) is strawberry brittle with real scorpion pieces, and Old Fashioned Ant Brittle ($4.98) is a cheap way to find out whether the rest of the family is game.

Beyond these, the shop has whole roasted mealworms, chapulines (Mexican grasshoppers) with salt and lime, flavored cricket tubes such as sour cream and onion, scorpion lollipops and scorpions in a bottle. Its education pages explain where the insects come from and how they're graded, which is handy if you're buying for a classroom or simply want to know more before your first bite.
