Insects are often considered a nuisance to human beings and mere pests for crops and animals but Insects provide food at low environmental cost, contribute positively to livelihoods, and play a fundamental role in nature. It is estimated that insects form part of the traditional diets of at least 2 billion people. More than 1900 species have reportedly been used as insect ingredients. Insects are a highly nutritious and healthy food source of high fat, protein, vitamin, fiber and mineral content. The nutritional value of edible insects is highly variable because of the wide range of edible insect species. Even within the same group of species, the nutritional value may differ depending on the metamorphic stage of the insect, the habitat in which it lives, and its diet. For example, the composition of unsaturated omega-3 and six fatty acids in mealworms is comparable with that in fish (and higher than in cattle and pigs), and the protein, vitamin and mineral content of mealworms is similar to that in fish and meat. Findings from several other animal and human studies that use of insects can be seen as sustainable food.
