- Graeme Lee Rose: Founder and Managing Partner
Thailand Unique now offers Asia’s largest selection of edible insects and bug-related products for the retail and wholesale markets. They also offer raw ingredients for international food manufacturers and white label products for private retailers.
Their 600sqm factory headquarters is located 560km's north of Bangkok and 70km's south of
the Laos border in a city called Udon Thani, Thailand. Their team consists of 5 managing partners (2 x British, 2 x Swiss and 1 Thai) and 8 full-time production staff. The product line is constantly growing by popular demand and has been well-received by customers and companies internationally.
ThailandUnique.com is the go-to site for the world’s growing numbers of entomophagists – humans who consume insects – given their health benefits, as recently documented by the FAO. In fact, over 1,000 species of insects are known to be eaten in over 80% of the world’s nations. These folks know how to get their vitamins and lysine, courtesy of Mother Nature.
They believe that edible insects are the food of the future and aims to be part of this revolution. The products contain all the nutritional goodness of bugs without looking like them: for example soy-insect textured meat in ready meals, crackers, pasta, protein shakes and many more items in the development process.
Their food products are completely natural and contain no artificial flavors, preservatives or colours. They are GMP certified and are working towards HACCP and BRC Global standards.
Other cool, creative, and unusual products from the region can be found on the site, including their own branded products such as cricket protein powder, scorpion vodka and insect candy.
Thailand Unique has come a long way since its humble beginnings offering a few lines of packaged bugs. Many new, exciting, and definitely unique food products will be rolling off their lines in the near future.
