Cricket crystals?

[bossdog004]

I just bought some crickets from a pet store and there are some crystal like substance in with them, about the size of a fingernail. What is this stuff? I'm guessing it is some kind of food.

if it feel like jelly its probably bug gell to keep the crix hydrated without drowning them
