Detailed explanation-1: -In general, insects are rich in protein and low in carbohydrates, and contain essential minerals including iron, zinc, calcium, and magnesium. They are also rich in unsaturated fat, which is a healthier source of fat than saturated fat.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lipids. Edible insects contain on average 10 to 60% of fat in dry matter (Table 3). This is higher in the larval stages than in adults [18]. Caterpillars belong among insects with the highest fat content.
Detailed explanation-3: -The most protein-rich insects are wasps, bees and ants, which contain between 13g and 77g of protein per 100g, the graphic by Western Exterminator shows. True bugs, such as aphids and pond-skaters, contain between 48g and 74g, while crickets contain between 23g and 65g of protein.
