Mealworms for human consumption are nutrient-rich, edible larvae with a mild, nutty flavor and a crunchy texture when roasted. They’re packed with protein, healthy fats, fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals like B12, iron, and potassium. Mealworms can be eaten on their own as a snack, added to salads, or used as an ingredient in protein bars, baked goods, and savory dishes. Environmentally friendly, they require fewer resources like water and feed than traditional livestock, making them a sustainable option for eco-conscious eaters.
