“…Insect farming uses less land and produces fewer greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions than swine, poultry, and livestock farming (Fernandez‐Cassi et al., 2018; FAO, 2021; Hanboonsong et al., 2013a). In addition, insects can be maintained throughout the year, most of their body parts are edible, and they have a high fertility and growth rate (Acosta‐Estrada et al., 2021; Nieto et al., 2023). Crickets are one such example, 80% of the body parts of crickets are edible, in contrast to 55% of the body parts of birds and swine and 40% of the body parts of cattle (van Huis et al., 2013).…”

Entomophagy (consumption of insects) has been proposed as one of the important solutions to the food crisis caused by population growth. Despite a long history of insect consumption, numerous challenges have arisen that question the feasibility of using insects as a food source. It should be notifying that Acheta domesticus (house cricket) is recently approved by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/188 as a novel food ingredient. Gaining a comprehensive understanding of the house cricket is paramount for fostering a proper appreciation of its potential as a food source. This review aims to provide comprehensive and in‐depth information on the house cricket, covering various aspects such as its consumption, bioecology, nutritional value, health benefits, harvesting and rearing, and processing methods for use as a food source. Additionally, the consumer acceptance of house cricket will be discussed and specific information on why it has gained approval in the European Union will also be provided. The consumption of crickets has a long history as both food and feed. They are environmentally friendly to rear, making them an attractive option for human consumption. House cricket, in particular, holds promise as a sustainable alternative to traditional farming and conventional food sources due to its nutritional and pharmaceutical properties. Different processing methods enhance its potential. However, there are challenges regarding public acceptance, which can be overcome through diverse processing techniques and applications. Further research and efforts are needed to expand the acceptance and application of A. domesticus.
