Bug meat burgers & meatballs made with Mealworms / Tenebrio molitor. Insect protein / insects are eaten as food in many parts of the world. See Notes

---

RAW, uncooked edible insects. Bug burgers on left and bug meatballs on right. These are made with crushed dried mealworms mixed with soy protein. There's a little white flour in there to help bind the burger ingredients together while the meatballs use a little minced pork to help binding. Burnt bugs taste absolutely awful so both forms need to be cooked gently.
