In many parts of the world, silkworm pupae are an important source of dietary protein. Several different species are served up, but Bombyx mori is the most common. These canned silkworm pupae are from Korea. I got them at a local Korean grocery store called Shon Chin in Dallas.

How can we obtain silk fibre without killing pupa?

Silk fiber can be obtained without killing the pupa by using a method called " ahimsa silk" or "peace silk." In this process, the cocoons are harvested after the silk moth has naturally emerged, allowing the pupa to complete its life cycle. This method not only preserves the moths but also promotes ethical silk production practices, appealing to environmentally conscious consumers. Additionally, some producers may also use techniques that allow for the extraction of silk from cocoons without harming the pupa inside.
