Mealworm is not a worm !!
Hi steemians !
While im in the petshop , these worms caught my attention I dont know but they look so attractive to me. I ask the salesman if I can buy and keep it as a pet. He just laugh and said no , he said it was intented to be fed to fishes ( big fishes ) . Maybr that is why they were called “ mealworms”. 🐛
But wait Mealworm is not a worm, it’s the larval stage (grub) of the yellow mealworm beetle, also called the darkling beetle (Tenebrio molitor). Although the grub looks a bit like a worm, the mealworm has six small, jointed legs. Both the larva and the beetle are nocturnal (active at night), but they are also active during the day.
Can human eat mealworms too?
YES. They taste a little like almonds; try roasting them at 160 C for 10 minutes with some garlic and sprinkle on your soup or salad. Mealworms are freeze-dried, unseasoned and ready to cook with, or eat straight from the packet as an on-the-go snack. But when you think of it , it’s gross right but I thibk i need to taste one for satisfy my curiosity.🤯

They are eaten in Vietnam and is a good source of protein.
But I would have never guessed from how you look that you would be interested in something like this.
