The University of Adelaide is set to undertake a new study to develop accurate and consumer-friendly descriptions for edible insects, one of the most sustainable and protein-rich food sources known.
According to a media release on Tuesday, despite the excellent nutrient profile and known sustainability of edible insects, a lot of work still needs to be done before consumers will consider including bugs like mealworms, crickets, grasshoppers, and native ants in their diets.
