Edible mealworms for human consumption

Edible mealworms are a high-protein, sustainable superfood made from the dehydrated larvae of the Tenebrio molitor beetle. These crunchy, golden mealworms are packed with essential nutrients, including amino acids, vitamin B12, healthy fats, and minerals like iron and zinc, making them a powerhouse of nutrition. With a mild, nutty flavour and a light, crispy texture, they are perfect for adventurous eaters, health-conscious individuals, or those embracing eco-friendly, sustainable food options.

How to eat edible insects

🥣 Boost Breakfast Bowls

Sprinkle dried mealworms over cereals, oatmeal, or porridge alongside nuts and seeds for a crunchy, protein-packed start to your day. Their nutty flavor blends seamlessly with sweet or savory toppings

🍲 Top off soups

Sprinkle edible mealworms over hearty soups, stews, or ramen just before serving. They add a crunchy texture and a nutty finish, turning a simple bowl into a protein-rich, gourmet experience.

🥜 Snack straight from the bag

Mealworms make a satisfying, crunchy snack on their own — just sprinkle some salt on them (better if pulverised) and pop a few in your mouth and enjoy their toasted, nutty flavor. Think of them as nature’s version of trail mix (minus the sugar crash).

🥗 Top off your favorite dishes

Sprinkle whole mealworms over salads, tacos, guacamole, fajitas, or grain bowls for an unexpected crunch and a boost of protein. They add a delightful texture and a subtle depth of flavour that pairs beautifully with fresh veggies and bold seasonings.

🥦 Toss into stir-fries

Add whole mealworms to your favorite stir-fry for a protein boost and satisfying crunch. You can also marinade them beforehand in soy or teriyaki sauce with some added garlic, or ginger.

🍞 Grind into cricket powder

For a more discreet and versatile option, grind dried mealworms into a fine powder. Use it to fortify baked goods like muffins or protein bars, stir it into smoothies, or mix it into sauces and soups for an invisible nutrition upgrade.

🍳 Cook them your way

Try roasting, pan-frying, or stir-frying mealworms to enhance their flavour and add a crispy texture. Toss them into a skillet with a bit of oil, garlic, and your favorite spices for a simple, savory bite.

🍫 Sweeten the Deal

Mealworms aren’t just for savory dishes! Dip them in melted chocolate for a crunchy dessert, or caramelize them with a quick syrup glaze for a sweet and salty treat. Perfect for adventurous eaters with a sweet tooth.
