ABOUT US

We are students from Queen Mary University of London with a large goal to help save the planet - and all the ambition to get there.

BURG will transform the food industry to be better for the environment, and your health.  We are perfectly set up to disrupt the market by changing the public opinion on bug-based food.  We will encourage the transition of crickets from a common pest into a universal tasty, healthy and environmentally sustainable product with green packaging and lower impact on the environment than any other meat source.

Having come from Malaysia and studying abroad in the UK, I'm who Burg leans on to make its debut in SE-Asia.
Undertaking a business degree has provided me with numerous skills centered around starting and optimising running a business, with numerous workshops and opportunities reinforcing entrepreneurship and public speaking skills.

WHY BURG IS SO AWESOME? 

To answer this question, have a look at the following paragraphs ;)

Tropical Plant

Environmental benefits

We want to save the planet, one burger at a time

Cricket meat is an extremely eco-friendly food source, as recognised by the UN as well as countless scientific papers in the last decade. The main evidence for this is through its methane production (3000x less than cattle per kg), the water efficiency (50x less than cattle), land use (17x less than cattle, increasing depending on how the verticality of production buildings) and the feed conversion ratio (12x conventional livestock). All these things make cricket the best option in the most environmentally aware time since 1900 without any radical expensive technologies.

Health benefits

Feel good. Now. 

Crickets outperform traditional livestock in terms of protein, calcium, iron, fibre, omega 3 & 6 and vitamins, as well as being totally organic through use of sustainable feed.

What does it taste like?

Don't worry, it will be just amazing.

House crickets are bred already in Indonesia for their taste, which has been combined with white pepper and soy sauce (for a shrimp-like taste) as well as sweetcorn, chickpeas, cumin, coriander, lemon and salt to taste for a burger recipe. Using inspiration from existing dishes in Indonesia, Burg has a unique taste which is just amazing.
