Insect-Based
Insect-based products refer to food and materials derived from insects. These products are gaining popularity due to their high protein content, low environmental impact, and efficient resource use. Common edible insects include crickets, mealworms, and grasshoppers, which can be consumed whole or processed into protein powders and snacks.
In addition to food, insects are also used in other industries. For example, silkworms produce silk, while certain insects can be used in natural dyes and fertilizers. The growing interest in insect farming is driven by the need for sustainable alternatives to traditional livestock and resource-intensive crops.
