What about expected calorie or protein count for cricket flour? Any FT IC versions of flour with more calories per hectacre or whatever?
Not precisely related to your question, but tangentially related (insofar as it reminded me of it): you might want to do some research into submarine logistics when it comes to foodstuffs. Given submarines are about as good an analogy as any we can use from the real-world for extended spaceflight, anyway. I remember seeing pictures once of how submarines often had their "floors" consist of many, many layers of canned and other non-perishable food items with rubber mats thrown over the top of them to act as actual flooring, just to accommodate the crew with the necessary food for their journey. Can't remember the era for that, however. I will say, for a certain style of FT aesthetic, I did like that idea for clunkers.
Here (and here) are some nutritional facts on cricket flour, though. ...Google AdSense is going to be giving me very odd returns now. I've also, for a puppet, considered using some form of protein-rich lichen that naturally is wont to grow in low-light, artificial gravity environments, though I have not done much research into the actual nutritional value such a potential food source might provide.
