Bread with the addition of mealworm powder was better rated than the bread with the addition of buffalo larvae powder and comparable to the control bread. The greater addition of mealworm powder (10%) made the bread with its addition the tastiest among the analyzed variants. The industry is still working to expand commercial production to try catching up with other ingredients that have well-established supply chains that have been developed for centuries in some cases.”The United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has been leading work on edible insects for almost 20 years; according to its most recent estimate, around 2,000 species of insects are consumed in about 140 countries, the vast majority wild-harvested, with only two per cent farmed. Bread with the addition of mealworm powder scored worse than the control sample. Bread with 5% insect flour was assessed slightly better
