Mealworm protein ranks high

Protein from mealworms is just as good as milk feed-ration supplements, reports Maastricht University in Germany.

They both have the same performance on digestion, absorption and on the ability to stimulate muscle production, the report published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition said.


When combined with sustainability arguments, this makes insects an equally great protein source to use for food production, it said.
