Mealworms are the larval stage of the darkling beetle (Tenebrio molitor) and are commonly used as a food source for pets and livestock. They are typically about 2.5 to 4 centimeters long and have a soft, segmented body. Rich in protein, fats, and essential nutrients, mealworms are increasingly recognized as a sustainable food source for humans as well. Additionally, they are often used in composting and waste reduction due to their ability to break down organic materials.
